That brought back some memories. I flew in once to Lukla (Hillary-Tenzing) Airport by helicopter and twice by plane - a 16 seat Twin Otter - and also flew out three times in the Twin Otter. The runway is 527 m (1,729 ft) × 30 m (98 ft) with an 11.7% gradient! Yes, the runway slopes, which is a weird feeling at take-off as, once the pilot has edged the plane to the lip of the slope and, brakes on, revs the propellors, you are facing downhill! I found it was best not to dwell too much on the fact that, at the end of the half kilometre, sloping runway, there is an 800 foot drop to the Khumbu Valley. Oh, and when I did it, the runway had yet still to be paved in tarmac, which they did in 2001 (I was there in 98, 99 and 2000). PS A pilot over there once told me that "We don't fly when it's cloudy as the clouds have rocks in them".
I'm a flight simulator fan myself, couldn't able to afford neither the techs as per system requirements nor the game, i enjoy every time watch your flight sim videos
actually its other way around in some places,,,,,airport builders destroys homes, tea plantations , trees and builds the airport destroying homes and livelihood
I tried some flight simulator in this Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday after watching your clips. I used to play Locks On before but I never started playing any civil flight simulator until watching your clip. Good content and pls keep this way.
If this simulator allows for that kind of takeoff performance (completly unrealistic), then it has no credibility at all. Just a fancy flight game with great visuals..that's all. Nice video by the way :)
I understand your opinion. But keep in mind that you could also make this simulator way more realistic, this was just fore fun. You could use Vatsim, Simbrief and Navigraph to get a more realistic experience
@@theflightsim2020 Flight dynamics for me is the most important feature in a flight simulator, if it's possible to change that within the game itself, then cool. For example, I use FSX and although I have every tab in realistic mode, you can change those settings, but not the flight dynamics. I can't make a 747 takeoff from Lukla in FSX unless I change the power and lift settings in the aircraft cfg. file. But anyway, like you said it was just for fun and your video is great fun to watch also :D
@@nunodaniel1976 There is a legacy mode (fsx) and and "modern" mode with new realistic flight model, I tried doing this on the modern setting and was not possible at all.
not sure why but whenever I'm on ground and start taxing, my plane will just randomly start steering to the left or right uncontrollably, I can't seem to ccontrol it. Any idea what might be causing that? I use keyboard and mouse btw.
In order for short takeoff try a standing takeoff where you put the engines on full throttle and full wheel break and let them get at max speed and release the break 😉
That is possible, just you won't take off till 120 I think it Is - plus he had full flaps and most probably a large headwind - there are too many ways this is possible to even count
I had to change the intro music because of a copyright issue :(
So sorry the transition at 0:58 is not really good.
Good transition
are you dutch?
@Retard 0112 you need to set a button for that in the settings

There's video of those rocks being hit when a pilot ignored the cloud.
good vid. those 2 last planes would have destroyed that little town between the engine wash and the wings killing everything hahahah
Fly the smaller aircraft to the Everest summit 😁
I don't think they can fly that high lol
@@theflightsim2020 the pilatus pc6 can… try it 😁
Hey we did try to summit Everest with a smaller aircraft.. Do check our video..
ruclips.net/video/V53SSSQzX0Y/видео.html
Impressed that you got anything larger than the Citation airborne! Love to see you try the Concorde at Lukla if the simulator supports that model
You are rising quick! well done keep up the good work these vids are actually satisfying to watch I bet you will reach 100k by no time
"We can only use a part of the runway because of buildings"
3 seconds after: *cuts trees, hits terrain*
"We made it!"😂
4:40 khumbu valley and the dhudh kosi (river of milk). Trek to Everest base camp.

4:40 Made my day dude. Especially the sound!
Cool video! Enjoyed it. It is a special place. Good job getting some of the aircraft airborne!
I AM watching from Nepal 🇳🇵❣️❣️❣️
*Begins takeoff roll*
"Vee one!"
787! You did it thanks bro❤😮
Very well edited that video. Respect
Thanks man!!!
It's always the same problem at all airports.......They let people build too close ! Always a great video.
actually its other way around in some places,,,,,airport builders destroys homes, tea plantations , trees and builds the airport destroying homes and livelihood
@@tonmoydeka7319 Well, of course. Can you name one ?
@@palco22 one is being built in my state- Assam , India
@@tonmoydeka7319 Again, name that airport.
Great collection of tailstrikes on takeoff.
7:10 i love it how the speaker or AI thing said "dont sink" and he sinks lol
awesome flight simulator video
757-200 Was long considered a hot-rod with lots of engine.....it'd be interesting to see how it manages

Thank you so much man!!! I will try to upload a video every Friday or (every other week)
@Hải Anh If you mean me, no
@@theflightsim2020 I think he mean me, because I wrote Tet. And actually I'm a Vietnamese.
Ah okay np
I laughed hysterically at 6:44!! 🤣🤣🤣
Man this is fireeeeee🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Queen of the Skies would need a serious diet to take off from Lukla, but A320 seriously shocked me.
5:54 i have the model of the exact 747 and the livery!
Imagine all those people listening to the engines of those planes
10/10 good that very nice! good job on this you have a good new year :)
Great job! Just subscribed
Thanks!!!
They should add explosions in this to make it more realistic
Can you please make a Boeing 747-8 Cinematic takeoff in the same stormy conditions, but a much better runway 😍
I choose you for my private jet. Congratulations 🎉👏 You are hired.
Haha
LETS GOOO KLMMMMMMM FOR THE WIIIIN
(Sidenote: im dutch thats why)
Nice video! Btw DON'T SINK! 😂😂😂
why do the 737 wings look so flimsy when it takes off?
The AN's take off is kinda reminding me the "2012" movie 😂
Last one was funny as hell 🤣
Nice takeoff bro

@@jonathanhildebrand2161 ok so there is an option to make it realistic 😃 good to know 👍
excellent impossible stunts
4:20 Strange how TOGA thrust is applied but the N1 meters are still in the green.
to take off a320 from that airport, you have to build it there hehe
Nice! What did you record the screen with?
Xbox game bar
Plane already at several thousands of feet in the air at this location after taking off.
Also plane : ''DONT SINK''
I saw you yesterday in draywers stream
I saw you2 🤣
You should check out telluride airport
Can you try to launch the AN-225 from a carrier?
thats almost 402m race :)) 527m runway length
my anxiety went off the roof while watching this😩😩
So 747 can take off from Lukla, albeit with very little fuel, a head wind and slight dings to the paint work lol
Hahaha totally agree with that, but not in real life I guess lol
not sure why but whenever I'm on ground and start taxing, my plane will just randomly start steering to the left or right uncontrollably, I can't seem to ccontrol it. Any idea what might be causing that? I use keyboard and mouse btw.
You are awesome
Be prepared, Lukla airport, we have already tested A320 successfully :D
Hey Make a video making landings at airports in Bolivia, Or on dirt tracks in Brazil
There are many interesting airports
You have a new subscriber: me UwU

5:05 What does the Caution button do? I wouldn't wanna fly with a Pilot who turns off a Caution button just like that sorry.
It was a warning that I was giving full power while the parking brake was on, but otherwise you can't takeoff at Lukla lol
@@theflightsim2020 Ok, I would fly with you. 😁
@@DancingMachine1 hahaha
There isn't a caution warning for cutting trough houses, just saying.. :D
SHEESH
Welcome tô Lukla Airport
Rotating at 95 knots in an Airbus? how realistic!
That is possible, just you won't take off till 120 I think it Is - plus he had full flaps and most probably a large headwind - there are too many ways this is possible to even count
Woooooow,intro
Weird if I just fly off the runway my plane clips something and slams me into the ground I have to have lift off before I reach the end
Which flight stick do you youse
Thrustmaster TCA Airbus pack (and teh Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke)
R.I.P AN225
Why does the An-225 only have four gauges for the six engines?
Bcs it uses the default B747 flight model
Can we get a video of an An225 taking off from St Barts?
Landing video tommorow
@@theflightsim2020 amazing! Love this channel! Cheers from Miami
nice
You know we are here for the crash !!
why dont you ever do a A380 being the largest passenger plane
Not available for this flight simulator atm, but FBW simulations is making one
Жителям этих домов не помешает страховка от падения на дом самолета)
You find rainbow is easter egg you find it wooww
why not lower the flaps further?
Don't sink is the new Where did you learned to fly?
RIP the antonov 225
i try to take off with a320 neo but when i reach the end of the runway brakes go off please help me?
Jajajajajaja buen video !!!
why don't u try xplane?
Damn I tried with the AN225, no can do. :(
😂 put flaps down toward end. Gain your speed first!!!!
The game name pls
Microsoft flight simulator
RIP the boineg 747
Take off a380😍
Wow
747-8 and an-225😝😝😝
I think it would be easier to take the runway off off a boeing 747
3:49 oh boy
Nice!
Airbus did a good job here 🤣
@@theflightsim2020 🤣
What I don’t like about it is the “DoNT SiNK! DOnT SINk!” Like ur not even falling right?
whos idea was it to build houses and buildings right next to the most dangerous airport in the world?
I'm new to MFS, this map doesnt seem to be in marketplace. anyone got any idea how i can download this map?
Don’t sink…don’t sink…don’t sink…
more flaps?

But how this Boeing got there in the first place?))

7:12 and 8:53 = My Nightmare
lukla airport is my home country airport cuz i am from nepal
Nunca use um 747 nesse aeroporto ….
Does anyone know if MFS is or will be available for XBOX..?
It's available for xbox atm
It is on Xbox series S/X and it's optimized like a dream, that's what I fly on.
