How to Shoot Down a Chinese Spy Balloon

[austinmeyer]

You remember that thing on Saturday Nigh Live where Cheri O Teri was in her yard grabbing the toys the kids would thrown on her lawn? And she would yell: "YOU SEE THIS??? THIS IS MINE NOW!!!!" This X-Plane mission is that.

As usual, Austin’s fantastic sense of humour wins out! Absolutely love this ❤

Wow, what a teaser! Now I have to fire up XP12 :D

This is absolutely one of the videos of all time

This is one way to get folks to try to newest beta. LOL.

I appreciate this. Living south of Charlotte, we had the balloon pass directly over our home on its way to the beach. The most impressive part of the entire day wasn't the balloon, but the air show by the various military planes that continued until the balloon was popped on the coast. I haven't seen CLT shutdown since 9/11, so it was interesting to see the sky devoid of commercial traffic once more and the contrails and aircraft flying various patterns and altitude. Not much happens around here, so props to China for giving us something to enjoy on a Carolina Blue sky Saturday.

Man, it is so funny how you just built that into the sim. This channel alone would make me choose XP12 over MSFS. Keep up the good work!

Indeed ! *THOSE DAMN CHINESE BALLOONS !* You go get them Austin !!! *NO balloon can beat X-PLANE !* 😉

Fighters being able to shoot ! That's a game changer for X-plane .

Okay looks like I just need to wait for swiss to record this mission

[WarrenPostma]

Very fun! Are there any F22s released yet for XPlane 12 yet?

[martygenska]

What a great ending. This would be quite a jump from my 172 :)

9:11 Oh, you motherf... Well played, sir. Well played. That was one hell of a cliffhanger. Now I have to download that chinese piece of data stealling equipment.

Awesome! Can't be more happy with my purchase! It's the gift that keeps on giving!!

[eddiepaletti]

I always love when XPlane posts a video! :)

[lspdfrisawesome]

I wish I could run X-Plane 12 but my graphics card isn’t supported. Loving the graphics!

[SunnyIlha]

Next time our guys just gonna use the cannon.

[niki_bel]

When will the xp12 performance be at least on par with xp11? When will the AA work better/jaggies be removed? These are the questions we are looking for answers - not necessarily how to engage in geopolitics... ;)

Would this work on X-PLANE 11? Thanks!
