VATSIM is awesome! Coming from an VATATC, as long as you know what you need to do and are trying your best, we are trained to be patient and all of us understand that we will encounter beginners. Awesome job and have fun!!!
@@kellen_fn Yea definitely see that… if this helps, us controllers could care less. We see it all the time and we understand that people (including us) mess up sometimes.
@@kellen_fn Don't be scared, most people are too busy worrying about what's coming out of their own mouth. This applies to all aspects of life! Maybe not in a courtroom 😅
As a VATSIM controler, always happy to see newcomers enjoying our network :) London isn't the easiest place to start, but after a while, you kinda start knowing what they're going to ask you if you fly a few times there. If you want an other challenge, try Germany on a week end :p Or hey, come to see us in Paris sometimes.
@@TheFlightDoc I have the absolute privilege of flying a 737 for a day job. It’s cool watching people really get into their hobby but not take it too seriously and still have fun with it.
@@JM87Fly I find planes really interesting and I'd consider one day learning to fly if not for disabilities which I think could potentially make it very dangerous (I cannot drive a car for the same reasons). I've been a passenger on planes more often than most as my family moved around the world quite often growing up, often on long haul flights, e.g. Auckland to London via Hong Kong. I have a lot of respect for what you do!
Love your channel! I have been flying on Vatsim for a while but was in the exact situation you were here! I did my first flights as VFR Circuits at a GA Aircraft.
@@TheFlightDoc Yeah. Started of VFR doing circuits then flights between two aerodromes. Then started doing IFR flights with ATC and once I was confident, moved to IFR flights in the B737 and A320, kinda like IRL. Still yet to do my first transatlantic.
This is mad exciting but must be hugely stressful.. You did awesome job.. I watched a beyond atc video yesterday, I could see that being used for training as a nicer intro to talking to real atc
It was the most stressful the first time around and it has gotten exponentially easier every time afterwards :) I did a video on Beyond ATC, I liked it as a tool for when vatsim is offline (a common occurence living in Australia!) and for training ifr for vatsim :)
Awesome man! I see that @AlphaOriginals has sent quite a few people here to this channel😂 just awesome. I hope your vatsim journey is gonna be a long and enjoyable one, good luck! Btw, is that the FBW A320 mod? If so, you might need to update it, it looks like it has the old cockpit.
BRO U DESERRVE LIKE AT LEAST 2 MILLION SUBS!! i watched the video and i looked at your channel; HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 5k subs!!! you are a hidden gem of youtube and you deserve a lot more!
As a Not A Pilot vatsim rookie, I fully agree with the nerves of the whole thing. For a game with nothing on the stake, man do I feel judged when I mess up :) That being said, takeoff clearance readback you didn't give the runway, just the A3 intersection. But not being judgey, this is why I fly MSFS not a real plane, I can't keep up with flying & talking 1/2 of the time. GG.
i like watching these and eventually wanna get into it. but now im confused is atc like actual real people in in a irl tower when they have free time or is it people that know what they doing and just log in at home?
Absoluutely love your content, both of you! Maan I feel old... I started flying fight Sim in 1996, With FS95 on my step dad's PC, and bought My first fight fight Sim, which was FS98😅❤
Nice video - just discovered your channel and I like your content. Vatsim ATC are very understandable and help you if you say to them you are new, take it slow and I don’t suggest playing vatsim on large events like *cross the pond or anything where airports are very busy. You’ll get there someday and be a pro
Thanks a lot!! I think we may have gotten slightly lucky from the sounds of it. The most impressive thing about this is I live in Australia, and alpha's in the UK, and it worked pretty flawlessly... 😆
You guys had fun, i had fun. Hahaha hoping for more shared cockpit. And because of that, i subscribed. 😁 Kudos to both you. ❤ I wish that kind of first time. 💙 Still stuck at FSX. 😅
Can someone explain why real players appear to be in like ai planes or generic planes? The only plane that looks like normal is a320neo every other plane looks generic/AI I’m on xbox
Vatsim injects the traffic into MSFS so that you can see the other players on the network. For example if you're taxiing sometimes ATC will ask you to follow a plan infront or something so it's good to have that plane infront even if it is generic
This is actually JUST the content I was looking for. I have been hesitant to use VATSIM due to my lack of experience. This was a little of a confidence booster
If this is the FBW A32NX I suggest upgrading to the dev version, since it's got way more features and less glitches. Keep it going and hope you have fun on vatsim!
What, wait, did I miss where you describe “add on to share cockpit” and fly on same aircraft? Is it “YourControls” with VATSIM observation mode to share coms? Thanks!
Y'all ever played the original Microsoft flight simulator ? Man I'm getting old. I use to play it all the time as a kid. Ive never played the modern one though. I use to live next to an AFB and go to the airshows all the time. I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was young Iron eagle and top gun sure helped 😂
haha never played the OG, but I started with FS98 :-) I used to go to Farnbourough airshow in the uk whenever it was on too! Good Times! I've got some Top Gun flavoured videos coming very soon haha
im not intrested in flight sim at all but this right here was actually Really interesting and entertaining dropped a sub and I hope for more vids like this keep up the good stuff
Great video! Would recommend that both do the MCDU setup when doing shared cockpit. Seems like it does not sync for me, and it looked the same from your video (to have the same flight plan). Great video!
Yesirrrr this was so much fun man!
The question is, where should we fly next!?
Ladies and Gentlemen, suggestions below 👨🏿✈️
@@TheFlightDocDo a transatlantic. Jfk to Lhr or other way round
@@TheFlightDoc Fly in/out of Sint Maarten next friday in the Juliana Overload event!
Do an Australia flight Sydney to Perth🇦🇺
What a collab! 🔥🔥

Thanks so much!! Appreciate people like you willing to be patient with noobs like me 🤣
@@TheFlightDoc Always fun to help out! 😂
Im wayyy to scared to talk to ATC and I said something once and said the wrong thing and it blew my confidence

Ahaha sorry
haven't heard that since wisp days
“It’s my first time on VATSIM”

I think the game knew 🤣
Awesome video man, I loved this!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! I'm definitely gonna be visiting germany and france on the network haha
Even the smalltalk in cruise is realistic, love it 😂 It can get really dull at FL350 if you can’t find anything to chat about.
haha, glad to see we are making it realistic, are you an airline pilot?!

This is why splitting of roles is so important across the aircraft for the pilot flying and pilot monitoring
We learnt this the hardway haha
14:00 first time an edit made me laugh in a while, thats genius bro😂
lmao thanks :D
6:33 popping a wheelie in the back 😂
Lmfao
Alpha was locked in at the end lmao, please do more of these with shared cockpit was super fun
Wasn't he!? Got more coming verry soon
I'm 14 and on my first flight I was shi..... pooping myself, however after that all the nerves go. Hope to see you in the air!
haha, well done doing it at age 14! When I was 14 I didn't even realised Vatsim was a thing, and I was playing FS2004 back then DAILY!
You're criminally underrated, subscribed.
Thanks so much!
We need this duo more!
Much more to come from us :D
Hey that was fun to watch! Well done on your first VATSIM flight!
Thank you, it was good fun, can’t wait to do more!
lol this is legendary. Alpha is pro at this sim stuff 😂
He is, pretty good at teaching too!
@@TheFlightDoc Haha fr.
16:53 Alpha we need a concert now...! :)
hahah coming in 2089 ;)
Really great video, looks like the pair of you had great fun. The added sound effects where you were both confused were actually hilarious.
The first time of getting clearance is the most stressful. But if they aren't busy the ATC will help you out!
this is a crazy level of simulation
Right!?
I also remember how scared I was on my first time. To make it worse I annoyed controllers by not having charts so I got lost in taxiways😂
Ahahaha, luckily I had the training captain helping me out, so easy to get lost 🤣
How do you get 2 people using the same plane?
did you figure it out?
Yourcontrols
Great Video man! Very entertaining. You really should upload more,keep up the great content.
Thanks mate, much appreciated! Will try and upload more than once every 30 days next time haha
Welcom to vatsim broo. You should make this a series 🎉 showing his progress and flights shared cockpit ❤
That's the plan! :D
Flying thru London with first time atc really is something! Congrats doc!
haha thanks bro!!
typical pilot work from home ahh moment
That was pretty awesome guys. Great job and kept it real and fun.. Great job!
(Really enjoy when the algorithms show me my skinfolk from around the diaspora doing nerd stuff as such, salute yall)
i got no clue whats going on but i love it
HAhahA...guys, you made my day. Never used VATSIM before. Maybe I should give that a try....Happy landings from Munich, Ron 🥳
Bis bald Ron!
the dynamic duo
More to come!
That was amazing, 2 legends sharing a cockpit!! You need to do more of these for sure, uou borh bounce off each other well 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it :) More to come!

Oh we have got a few more in the pipeline :-)
@@TheFlightDoc looking forward to it ;)

Then started doing IFR flights with ATC and once I was confident, moved to IFR flights in the B737 and A320, kinda like IRL. Still yet to do my first transatlantic.
What a combination! I absolutely love this!!!!! Need more of that in the Future
Haha thanks so much! There is much more to come :)
You should make more videos with Alpha. This video was amazing! 😀

I watch alpha heaps, so cool to see him help u! Keep up the good work🎉
Haha thanks
Thanks for making. Me feel old lol. I've been playing flight sim since Microsoft flight sim 98
Why were you using an outdated A320N? Because most instruments seemed to be INOP
Its a freeware aircraft, and most of the systems are not INOP, its much better than most a320s
The flybywire is a bit less complicated, less to go wrong on a flight using the ‘your controls’ software
We’ll be flying other aircraft soon :-)
@@TheFlightDocBRO I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOU

So true
On pc you can get mods that give the aircraft their real model and livery but on Xbox there’s no way to change it sadly
he also has a smile on his face❤❤❤
I've been flying MSFS2020 since release and the only reason I have never joined Vatsim is because I'm also scared.
Honestly, give it a go, it is definitely scary the first time, but it gets so much easier from there!
Loved the video man, u did great, yesterday was also my first time as a vatsim controller over at boston.
