A 'Realistic' Flight During a Hurricane in Microsoft Flight Simulator (with ATC) 777-300ER

Tampa to Dallas with some light chop.
(Promo code: AFP10)

American Airlines flight 23, Boeing 777-300ER service from Tampa Int'l Airport (KTPA) to Dallas Ft. Worth (KDFW) during CAT 4 Helene. Recorded in Microsoft Flight Simulator on the VATSIM network. The turbulence was underwhelming so we (accidentally) turned into the storm.

@7:07 "Turn the seat belt sign off! I ain't scared of no white woman named Helene!" 😂😂😂

The cuts to the passengers gets me every time. 😂😂😂

I love how the dispatcher didn't give AF about you heading straight into a hurricane. Mans gotta get paid 😂

The DFW speedbump claims our boy once again. Rip in pepperoni, Airtoground65.

At least you got the same pink building concussion symptoms as last time.

Funny how I flew through this hurricane in flight sim, then that night the hurricane decided it didn’t like that and removed my ability to play flight sim for 2 weeks

2:22 "Are you flying this with an Xbox controller?" "No, PS2 controller" "Jesus Christ on Earth"

As a man once said, “Boy, that escalated quickly.” We never thought giving you the controller would lead to you flying it through Hurricane Helene. Thanks for putting our controller through the test. It was fun watching you fly as always!

The nostalgia at hearing the FSX theme 😍.

0:29 Sir, that's out of protocol since the 80s

Hey Kilo, I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to say I'm in the process of trying to become an ATC, and your videos (from the FSX days to the present day with VATSIM) are largely responsible for that, by kickstarting a chain of events that got me here. It was because of your FSX videos that I both found your channel and bought FSX for myself. And through that, I found a flight sim/aviation group with real pilots and controllers. And now, as a result of everything I just mentioned, combined... I'm trying to become an ATC. So thank you for the always hilarious videos, and the role they played in me beginning on this journey!

[Sir......]

those wings flexing in the storm is wild.

0:59 - You hear clearance start smiling as soon as he realizes what the departure sets you up for.
It’s beautiful when you can year people smile through their tone.

I was your approach/departure controller! Thanks for flying!!

Survives flying through a hurricane :D

Forgets about the new speed bump on the runway when landing :(

[soullessred]

1:52 yeah, I seeen that movie, that FedEx plane is never gonna be seen again, and there’s definitely ice skates and a volleyball in the cargo

10/10 comedy landing attempts followed by 10/10 buttery landing. Epic.

[krank]

someone needs to get a hot air balloon in that shit

I love the music of FSX, it gave me excitement when starting a flight.
