"I was a fast jet pilot, not multi-engine. But the airmanship and mission planning are largely the same. Slightly different content style from me. This is a 'one-take recording' of a mission covering a variety of profiles and techniques. I highlight some *bugs and lack of functionality with v1.0 of the Transall C-160 by AzurPoly* for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Expect an update to come out and fix things. But in the meantime, I adapt and overcome!"

I would absolutely love to see you fly the Mach Loop in a C-130J, or a Sarajevo approach in blackout conditions. Thank you for making great content! 👍🏼

Hi Chris, I like your fun videos, but your missio videos are in a leage of their own! Very nicely done, as always

Hey Chris cracking video as ever full of instructional gems. An insight into the world of the fast jet pilot. On your point about the row of terraced houses as you exit the 'Bulch' in the loop, it is in fact a row of large dressed stones.... going back to the days of this area being very much outlaw country. Probably to help stop us English from coming through the valley. I have looked and wondered about them many times as I have driven past them. 😎👍

Another absolutely amazing video and tutorial! Please don’t stop doing these videos! I’m loving the C160 - flew it today on a low lvl from some French air base scenery from flightsim . to.
I must admit watching this video makes me so excited for the JF Tornado and the videos you will (hopefully) produce for that!!!

[DutchThackers]

I flew from valley and did the match loop yesterday in this aircraft. Absolutely amazing. Really enjoy it. Thanks for another great video!

[alanharris]

Great video, personally I really like the slightly longer mission videos as you can learn so much from someone who’s actually done it IRL. The final approach was brilliant work :)

Press the clock dial long to reset the timer.
On either side of the Fault Panel are buttons to start the timer as well.

LOVE this type of practical application video - more please! :)

@cgaviator : You are perfectly right on the red lamp at the bottom of the undercarriage indicator. It is the transition light that's only on during the time of gear and gear hatches travel. If it stayed red afterwards, it is a warning light for gear hatches or gear locking malfunction. Great video!

I have jumped from both the French AF and German LW Transalls, that view from the Starboard jump door was scarily realistic. The Germans use a klaxon as well as a green light, always gives you a start. lol. Great vid with some interesting insights.

[kamow]

Thank you for the video. I will follow your plan!
Regarding the ADF: I really like using it, it is very helpful for VFR flights. But unfortunately there aren't many NDB's anymore!

Thanks for this sir, excellent video, love this type of aircraft and it's great to see it flown by someone who really knows what their doing, thanks again.

As always Chris great video. Love you enjoying aviating the virtual skies.

[malcolmentecott]

I'm like a dog watching someone doing magic tricks, it's beyond me but I love it!

[sneeks]

Top class video once again. Very entertaining and your flying is sublime.

[maxvoigt]

Awesome as always Chris, thanks for sharing!

[MrAndersonHimself]

Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Hey Chris, lovely mission! I still strugge a bit with the Trall due to the lack of IFR navigation capabilities (why didn't they just put a GNS530 in there at the navigators station until their FMS comes around? - or at least fix the ability to actually track VORs and navigate outbound), but it's a lot of fun on any mission involving visual navigation!
With the basic VOR to VOR that it can do at the moment I flew it up north for some tankering missions and supply drops.

[darrenhillman]

Cracking video, Chris!

More so, because I live in Wallasey and have seen numerous Hawks, Tucanos, Texans, A400’s, Hercules, etc doing either touch and goes or practice missed approaches at Liverpool airport, then a low level run down the Mersey and back to Valley for tea and biscuits! So, I have probably and quite unknowingly seen you and a student pilot a few times!

Is there a Hawker Hunter in MSFS or as as an add-on as I would love to see you do a similar sortie in one. And a Tornado!

Keep up the good work, Sir!

Best wishes from Wirral!

That was very enjoyable to watch, thank you. Still in love with those sounds :D
