INSANE Traffic Volume in Microsoft Flight Simulator! (DCA River Visual) PMDG 737

Look at all those Christmas lights

American Airlines flight 1775, Boeing 737-800 arrives at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on the River Visual runway 19 approach. Recorded in Microsoft Flight Simulator on the VATSIM network, ATC included. Massive tail-strike and stall warnings plus FSXCC landing competition vibes at the end.

Thanks for watching boss!

These more realistic sims are fascinating as a non-flyer. But I do kind of miss the absolute chaos in some of your older videos. Merry Christmas!

Grading vatsim landings is honestly really fun to watch

I'm an ATC student at the FAA Academy right now and hearing those controllers sequence all that traffic was so cool!

[Tboneman]

I haven't seen this much traffic in the air since Christmas 1990 at Washington Dulles International Airport!

The spectating after landing felt like a dessert I didn't expect. Thanks AFP95! Another banger.

For the record - that was the most elegant sequencing I think I've witnessed since I started watching AFP's vids. IRL, air traffic controllers are truly the unsung heroes in our everyday lives, they don't get the credit they deserve, they're underpaid, overworked and they do this work day in and day out to ensure everyone is safe, happy, and healthy. The next time you find out that someone is a real ATC, hug him and thank him for his service, it's the least you can do.

Hello Groundpoops66 I just wanted to let you know, stemming all the way back from your chaotic flight sim x sessions to these dry humor regular flights, you single handedly peaked my interest in aviation.
For the past 11 years I lived in California just managing coffee shop to coffee shop and streaming in off time.
And just 2 weeks ago I moved to Virginia Beach for flight school, just the other day I went up for my first time in a small two seater experimental, and got my first taste behind the sticks. I have no one to thank but you dude, you’re amazing and I’m truly grateful that the algorithm brought us together all those years ago. You’re the man brother, I hope to run into you some day and buy you a beer 👊🏼

This was so cool seeing all these landings. Everyone, planes and controllers, were fantastic!

As much as I love the videos with all of the shenanigans this is by far one of the best I have seen. Amazing job by the ATC.

[electrogd]

yo you using the 737 pmdg now lets go.

Also the landing competition esque part at the end gave me a lot of nostalgia. Honestly should bring it back and call it FS20CC.

[mattcruz]

that was a great video spectating the landings at the end. VATSIM was killing it on that flight

[redscorpion]

That’s insane! This is why airports need parallel runways!

[Skippers.]

ATC was top tier into DC.
That last landing was also top tier.
Thanks for the vid!

[RoryHanna]

The sequencing is insane awesome job by all the vatsim staff.

[trevorjohnson]

Now that’s professionalism at its finest. Loved seeing how ATC worked the traffic throughout the video.

[HORoundhouse]

Spec-fucking-tacular. A+ ride from start to finish.

As someone with a huge phobia of flying (and yet fascinated by airplanes), watching those landings really does relieve some of that fear lol

[Lucaswingz]

Massive respect to the controllers ! Feels good to see the VATSIM network ALIVE !
