Great Video! If I may offer a bit of advice coming from a real pilot, your rotations seem to be late, its hard to tell from a 2D screen, but once you hit VR you should be lifting the nose wheel off the ground, continue to let the speed build and the airplane will simply fly itself off the ground. In this scenario it seemed to be a short runway making this vital as it looked like you could have clipped the runway lights with your gear! Other than that, it is impressive the amount of time you have put into this, to learn all of the command, and control functions of a complex aircraft such as this!
+sam farley I wouldn't say that, complex aircraft are meant to be flown with a captain and and a first officer so it's easy to miss something when you have lots of other stuff to do and no co-pilot to relieve you of some of your tasks. Pilots are people, and people make mistakes, that is why we have checklists and an additional pilot.
sam farley I was commenting on his ability as a an amateur. At the end of the day unless you're a pilot I don't think anyone is in any position to judge
+sam farley Yes, I agree there were reckless mistakes made, but at the end of the day this is a game, and he doesn't have thousands of hours of multi-crew, complex, multi-turbine time. I wish you luck in your goals to be a RAF pilot, but as said above you can't really judge someone about real flying unless you have been in the left seat yourself, and experienced what it's like to be PIC of an aircraft, and all of the responsibilities that come with it.
+sam farley Sam, as an experienced aviator you should encourage people, offer help and constructive advice. Imagine if you join the RAF and your instructors simply criticise your mistakes rather than tutoring and guiding you through them. None of us are born with the skills to fly aircraft, we learn them, and the only way to learn anything in life is to make mistakes. I've come a long way in 12 months and perhaps in 12 months more I'll be making fewer mistakes. Peace.
Paul, the UK transition altitude isn't 10000ft. Most UK airports are 6000 with a few exceptions like manchester which is 5000. The aerosoft airbus has the correct transition for departure set on the PERF page of the MCDU, and you can check it by looking at the SID chart.
You know squirrel we live in a world where people never praise the lot of work you do right or put into, but they always criticise only one mistake you make. Well done you
silly question from someone who doest have a clue about flying ^^ how do you get all the data that you input on the computer? like how much fuel you need etc
Hey Paul, love the flight sim vids! It allows me to experience these kind of high quality sim experiences without the very (I believe) prohibitively expensive amount of content you would need to get before it visually looks as great as this. Also, I didn't notice until I started watching Bob Ross painting videos that you (more or less) do the same sign off as he did. Thanks for introducing me to Bob as well, nothing quite beats the stress relieving qualities his videos have on me after a hard day at work. :)
Little bit of advice coming from an Airbus pilot you don't arm the auto throttle when you push the thrust levers up to clime thrust it comes on automatically then push it up flex or toga and it will stay on till the thrust leavers are back down at idle or you disconnect it
Hey Paul. Flight idea here. Looked up some information on EasyJet LGW (Britain, London Gatwick) to HER (Crete, Heraklion) 16:45 Departure > 22:45 Arrival = Estimated flight time: 6 hours. I believe as you will departure in the afternoon, and arrive at night, you might just get some amazing content. Hope you have LGW & HER installed, it would be a blast.
Transition altitude is at 6000 feet for Bristol and you are meant to switch from the local barometric pressure to standard pressure and then at 10,000 you switch lights off. But other than that it was an amazing flight
How about a flight from Edinburgh to Farnborough (EGPH - EGLF)? Be great to see the approach to my local airport on the game! Must be the approach onto runway 24 at EGLF too...
Idk if i heard right but I think you said ‘full reverse thrust’ after touchdown. I’m not 100% sure but I am fairly certain on a normal landing pilots will use at most 70% reverse thrust to reduce noise.
I would love a tutorial, on what you look at on the PFPX printsheet, and enter in the FMC. I have figured out most of it. But I am trying to write my own kind of checklist, from cold and dark, all the way to landing. So I can actually fly a plane from start to end, without having to Alt-Tab to look for tutorials, or videos to remind me what I need to do. So a full flight from cold and dark. The tutorial part doesnt have to be long. I usually watch a video, and put in the info on the go. So I am prepared when I take on flying and dont end up with an error i realize on takeoff, and have to abort, and look into it again. Other than that, i really love your P3D videos, and happy to see them back on the menu!
lol that is actually very impressively accurate of glasgow, however some minor errors i saw like gate locations and that an air france was on the wrong pier XD
Nice video Paul. Just for info, APU Bleed is for air supply, for instance for supplying air conditioning and, more importantly, for starting the engines.
Thank you Capt'n for the wonderful flight maybe one day we'll see you down under specially Western Australia that was very interesting game the amount of stuff you have to remember to key in
1- What was that sound in 13:40? 2- And what does Flex mean? (on takeoff after you put the auto throttle) 3- Does the aircraft change automatically from flex to climb? Or do you have to do it? 4- Did you continue to climb at 6000 feet? 5- What is transition altitude? 6- On 22:43 was that rain? 7- What did you do in 29:44? What was the button that you had before changing it? What was the button that you changed to? And why did you do that? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm really dying to know. Nice video!! Sincerely Mauro
Transition altitude is where you press the barometer and it automatically to "STD - standart - 1013 hPa" and when you are approaching and you are at this altitude, you press it again and it sets to the QNH which you can find on ATIS of your arrival (or departure of course) airport.
Well Paul, i enjoy and appreciate your vids, but you have blown me away with your knowledge of aviation, i,m very impressed, and i see you got good comments from a pilot, well done .
Stunning Glasgow aye, cheers for the video man, I've upgraded the Scottish scenery to its very top, with some of your help and flights. Running it fairly smoothly (Wee stutters a few places) outside the Glaswegian scenery, not really sure why.
I am new to flight simulator x and i absolutely love the game so far but most tutorials just go over the basics or they forget important steps. So does anyone know where i can find good in depth tutorials?
+Ilias Joels * HOW CAN I GET THE GAME. I WOULD REALLY TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL IT MYSELF BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO. OF COURSE I HAVE INTERNET ACCESS, SO IF YO COULD HELP ME OUT, I WOULD APPPRECIATE IT
Okay. Until I get it I will have to observe. It is very technical to fly a plane though. I would love to learn abt it. Have fun playing this game bro. Big up yo self
Really nice flight that sunset was georgous you´re really getting better and better:D here´s some advice to master the airbus: The company route didn´t completely "work" because usually the runway and the sid is provided by atc therefore it shouldn´t be in the company route. The apu bleed is just needed for engine start as it spins the fan before fuel injection it has nothing todo with power generating (the bleeds also provide air for the airconditioning). Normally a pilot uses the turnoffs during all landings and takeoffs and never switch off your TCAS/transponder as long as you are airborn. If you struggle with the safe flap speeds there is a yellow double line marker on the speedometer that indicates the max speed for the next stage of flaps. I hope I could help a bit and would really enjoy a flight from/to austria;)
Your videos are just amazing sir.....i started watching ur videos a wk back on eurotruck sim and let me tell u that ur videos had that quality which i liked instantly and i subscribed to ur channel day one after just the first video...since then ive been a regular follower of ur videos....ur doing great with sim games...keep it up and thank you!!!!
Yay... Lulsgate... My local airport.... Filton used to my actual local as it is closer, but they closed it :( .... Looks like a growing jungle at Filton now
Excellent video, good to see one of my local airports and rendered so well too. As for requests, how about Glasgow to Barra, though you would have to use a turbo prop and the runway at Barra is the beach. This is the only scheduled flight anywhere that is controlled by the tides. You would have to fly over some amazing scenery on the way.
Any airport to Madeira (Funchal) Airport (LPMA) - It is one of the world's most dangerous airport, due to its short runway and position next to mountains and so should be fun to land at.
I must say a smooth landing enjoyed this video and find it a help as just starting to get ready to learn to fly the passenger jets. Will be checking out your other videos Squirrel ✈️👮
Nice vid. I want to see Málaga in your video because it's one of the few airports I have actually seen, and I want to see how much the game resembles my memories of the place.
I dont normally play plane sim games but after watchin you play one on youtube im looking into now plus other sim games. I am a newbie here so I dont know if you have done Bristol to Palma yet. I fly to palma alot and so it would be interested to see the difference between a sim and real life flight!
26:08 well thats a dangerous attitude. ever heard of "FZRA": Freezing Rain. it is the most dangerous icing condition. since it is only 6° C on the ground, 3000 ft above it is already below 0. that means that the rain there will freez on impact on your airplane.
Hi @squirrel, how do sort of glide around in the cockpit and just click where you want to zoom too instead of just clicking through the views? Or does anybody else know that?

😂 😂 😂 😂
lol he acctually took of at 20:00 and above
20:02
That was the closest takeoff I've ever seen in a flight simulator.

Matthew Richardson You know x plane 10 yeah do you have to buy the planes?
gamer sami yes but there are some default planes
Please, fly from Valencia to Madrid. It's a short flight with beautiful views.
Arno
Take off at 19:07
You know squirrel we live in a world where people never praise the lot of work you do right or put into, but they always criticise only one mistake you make. Well done you
Final pre flight checks @ 15:15, thank you for choosing easy jet and have a pleasant flight and arrival
I like at 15:35 how you use the mouse to just instinctively wave at the ground controller. That's the sign of an immersive simulation.
Lighting on that landing is amazing
Can't get enough of these P3D videos Paul! The channel needs more haha!!
The sound of the engines when you turn them to 100% throttle is so awesome!
silly question from someone who doest have a clue about flying ^^ how do you get all the data that you input on the computer? like how much fuel you need etc
Ricardo Azevedo sim brief
Paul, the Transition Level in the UK is 6000ft. It is not the altitude where you retract the landing lights either

+Squirrel EZY cost index is 12 for the a320 family. Just for future reference! Looks like a great vid so far!
That's what you call graphics! Clouds looked amazing!
Little bit of advice coming from an Airbus pilot you don't arm the auto throttle when you push the thrust levers up to clime thrust it comes on automatically then push it up flex or toga and it will stay on till the thrust leavers are back down at idle or you disconnect it
I'm from Bristol and my uncle lives in Glasgow
Hey Paul. Flight idea here.
Looked up some information on EasyJet
LGW (Britain, London Gatwick) to HER (Crete, Heraklion)
16:45 Departure > 22:45 Arrival = Estimated flight time: 6 hours.
I believe as you will departure in the afternoon, and arrive at night, you might just get some amazing content.
Hope you have LGW & HER installed, it would be a blast.
any link to the documentary ?
Ryan Lee i think he is talking about mega airport xray or something like that. I remember watching in tv
Transition altitude is at 6000 feet for Bristol and you are meant to switch from the local barometric pressure to standard pressure and then at 10,000 you switch lights off. But other than that it was an amazing flight
a trip across the Atlantic to Nova Scotia in winter would be more than interesting
What a landing, you were bang on, on the glide slope!
Yeah Glasgow is a gnarly approach even on the best of days! My home airport! Cool video :)
Edinburgh to Faroe Islands? On Atlantic airways a320?
How about a flight from Edinburgh to Farnborough (EGPH - EGLF)? Be great to see the approach to my local airport on the game! Must be the approach onto runway 24 at EGLF too...
Idk if i heard right but I think you said ‘full reverse thrust’ after touchdown. I’m not 100% sure but I am fairly certain on a normal landing pilots will use at most 70% reverse thrust to reduce noise.
Beautiful dusk landing! I enjoyed this video
Can you do a flight from London gatwick to Guernsey with aurigny air services?
I would love a tutorial, on what you look at on the PFPX printsheet, and enter in the FMC. I have figured out most of it.

lol that is actually very impressively accurate of glasgow, however some minor errors i saw like gate locations and that an air france was on the wrong pier XD
Is it possible to fly a 4-engined plane? Like a A340-600
Yes, you can fly a A380 and a 747 which both have 4 engines
Just an amazing video .........start to finish good job well done .love flying as a pax and as a avid enthusiast ....
Thanks really enjoyed watching . All the best
wow the graphics of glasgow are incredible when coming in to land!
I love these flights!!! My only request is for you to please show the full shutdown of the plane if you can.
Nice video Paul. Just for info, APU Bleed is for air supply, for instance for supplying air conditioning and, more importantly, for starting the engines.
great video, very relaxing. It was great seeing you at Insomnia btw!
Thank you Capt'n for the wonderful flight maybe one day we'll see you down under specially Western Australia that was very interesting game the amount of stuff you have to remember to key in
Once you get the Australian scenery fly from Glasgow or London Heathrow, in an a380-800, to Melbourne International.
1- What was that sound in 13:40?
2- And what does Flex mean? (on takeoff after you put the auto throttle)
3- Does the aircraft change automatically from flex to climb? Or do you have to do it?
4- Did you continue to climb at 6000 feet?
5- What is transition altitude?
6- On 22:43 was that rain?
7- What did you do in 29:44? What was the button that you had before changing it? What was the button that you changed to? And why did you do that?
Sorry for so many questions, but I'm really dying to know. Nice video!!

I got it now, thank you very much buddy!!
+Mauro Quaggiotto you're welcome!
Answer to number 1:
That sound is one of the hydraulic pumps working to keep pressure up :)
Thank you banger666!!
Paul, will you and Matt start flying VFR around the UK again soon?
matt has a copyright strike. I think he wants that resolved first
+Joseph Enigam Matts copyrightstrike was removed some days ago, he explained it in a video on hes channel
+kimbonzky Only problem is it can take anything up to 10 days for a copyright strike to be fully removed.
+Ryan Blackley Yeah, but its being removed, so it just have to take the time it needs
+kimbonzky Exactly. Hopefully they'll keep it going, was a great series.
Came back for the nostalgia 🥲
Is there any chance you could do a flight with a possible emergency ? Which might require you to make a alternative landing ?
Well Paul, i enjoy and appreciate your vids, but you have blown me away with your knowledge of aviation, i,m very impressed, and i see you got good comments from a pilot, well done .
amazing graphics ur computer must be amazing
also love ur vids squirrrel
just to correct, Transition level/altitude is when you start speaking of flight levels and not feet. also fly to north korea.
Stunning Glasgow aye, cheers for the video man, I've upgraded the Scottish scenery to its very top, with some of your help and flights. Running it fairly smoothly (Wee stutters a few places) outside the Glaswegian scenery, not really sure why.

+Ilias Joels Check out the Froogle Sim videos.
Definitely Lewis morrison
+Ilias Joels * HOW CAN I GET THE GAME. I WOULD REALLY TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL IT MYSELF BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO. OF COURSE I HAVE INTERNET ACCESS, SO IF YO COULD HELP ME OUT, I WOULD APPPRECIATE IT
+I AM HITEK you can buy it or I really don't want you to but you can well find it on pirating websites
Okay. Until I get it I will have to observe. It is very technical to fly a plane though. I would love to learn abt it. Have fun playing this game bro. Big up yo self
I assume active sky next was behind that fog during takeoff.
Nice approach for sure. Can't wait until you get your North America scenery!
Pretty sure I saw the block of flats I live in as you were descending into Glasgow.
Really nice flight that sunset was georgous you´re really getting better and better:D here´s some advice to master the airbus:

do dublin to barcelona with a aer lingus a320

Yay... Lulsgate... My local airport.... Filton used to my actual local as it is closer, but they closed it :( .... Looks like a growing jungle at Filton now
Could you do a Thomson flight from Gatwick to skiathos island in Greece?
Could you fly the flybe Dash 8 Q400 route from Southampton (EGHI) to La Rochelle - Ile de Re (LFBH)?
Still smoother than the real EasyJet flight from Bristol to Glasgow :P
Excellent video, good to see one of my local airports and rendered so well too. As for requests, how about Glasgow to Barra, though you would have to use a turbo prop and the runway at Barra is the beach. This is the only scheduled flight anywhere that is controlled by the tides. You would have to fly over some amazing scenery on the way.
Could you fly from Kvernberget Lufthavn (Kristiansund) to Gardermoen (Oslo) in Norway?
An interesting flight Sq could do is EGKK to LIMF. Requiring a descent over the Alps. So the flight plan has to be a goodun!!
welcome to glasgow. flying over the campsies lovely.
Can't tell if it looks real does it lol I live here go by here all time
I landed at Bristol yesterday and it was the most turbulent landing I've ever had
Maybe do Frankfurt to London Heathrow?
+Joseph Anastasi thats a good one!
Brendan Salter Thanks m8 :D 👍
+Joseph Anastasi :)
i agree
that’s really short
Are there simulations for dangerous situations too, like a bird strike?
DANG! that rotate was scary! I thought u were going to fly off the runway!
You rotate at Vr which is indicated at the blue circle. not V2 which is your MCP set speed.
Great Video! Please tell how can you set the camera to wind? Please, very please...
Great video - Glasgow looks the similar in real life
Jeez that was a close takeoff!
what kind of try not to cry part is the one part in the video?
Any airport to Madeira (Funchal) Airport (LPMA) - It is one of the world's most dangerous airport, due to its short runway and position next to mountains and so should be fun to land at.
33:28 those 4 flats on the very left i live across the road from there haha
I must say a smooth landing enjoyed this video and find it a help as just starting to get ready to learn to fly the passenger jets. Will be checking out your other videos Squirrel ✈️👮
how did you get so many static aircraft?
Paul can you do EGKK (Gatwick) to LIRN (Naples)?
I'm flying into Dalaman (turkey) from Glasgow on a Thomas cook 757. Could you do this flight or similar? I love watching them.
transition altitude in Bristol is 6000 feet. it is when you change your pressure from hpa to standard
very smooth landing Squirrel! Excellent! and nice vid.
Need to do a flight to Australia........Perth to sydney maybe?
You wouldn't think that a game that came out in 2006 could be upgraded to look this good.
Not really. P3D upgraded to DX10 and some other things on top of FSX which is indeed quite outdated nowadays.
13:46 what is that noise as I have herd it on a real a319 and I am curios
Nice vid. I want to see Málaga in your video because it's one of the few airports I have actually seen, and I want to see how much the game resembles my memories of the place.
I dont normally play plane sim games but after watchin you play one on youtube im looking into now plus other sim games. I am a newbie here so I dont know if you have done Bristol to Palma yet. I fly to palma alot and so it would be interested to see the difference between a sim and real life flight!
Wich Addon makes the realistic cabin announcements (in the Background) ?
Hey Paul, could you do Monarch A320 / A321 route from Manchester - Tenerife on G-ZBAD? Thanks
hi, can you do a Lufthansa flight with an A321 from EDDF to BUD? Thanks
thank you for making these videos you made me not be afraid of flying;).
Have you done a ohare take off or landing?
26:08 well thats a dangerous attitude. ever heard of "FZRA": Freezing Rain. it is the most dangerous icing condition.
since it is only 6° C on the ground, 3000 ft above it is already below 0. that means that the rain there will freez on impact on your airplane.
Can you make a flight from Brussels (ebbr) to malaga (lemg) pls
Paul, when you install North America, should you do an American Airlines flight from KCLT to SXM?
*you should
I want to play that game just because of how it looks, it only we had a good looking bus sim like that
The uk transition alt is 6000 ft. That is when you set the altimeter to std.
At 10000 feet you switch off landing lights.
how did you get your cockpit lights (intl lt) like that?
Hi @squirrel, how do sort of glide around in the cockpit and just click where you want to zoom too instead of just clicking through the views? Or does anybody else know that?
Can u go to Dublin in Ryanair? Please
Next time maybe a flight departing in switzerland, Zurich for example? You may see some mountains :D
