The most absurd spin stall ever!

[NateTheGreatPilot]

For those of us saying they cannot spin in Flight Simulator. You have to increase the realism up quite a bit (almost to the max...hell why not?) Then stall an aircraft (try a Cessna, oldie, but a goodie!) and mash a rudder and hang on! Great job w/ 71 rotations. Holy smokes!

[flyboy152152]

71 rotations

[fisarmonicista]

I've never been able to do a spin in flight simulator, is there something turned on that avoids spins to hapen?, as far as I know I have all realism turned on. Someone knows what's going on? (of course I know how to do the procedure)

[stefanorso]

@fisarmonicista

X-Plane can partially simulate this kind of stall, even though it's got precise limits, due to the fact that turbolent currents cannot be calculated. Not 100% of planes spin in x-plane, but many do. Recoveries are usually far easier than in reality.

Thanks for watching! The most likely model to enter a spin are: Spitfire, Piper Malibu, Pitts, Su-26, Fi-156, and tons of others.

Thank U for watching!

[stefanorso]

@fisarmonicista Remember: all the airplanes designed and built so far (in reality) are spinnable, with very few exception: the Helio for instance. Another exception is the worldwide famous K21 (Sailplane).

Some airplane are spin-certified, others can get out of it, other tend to flatten the spin.

[fisarmonicista]

@stefanorso Thank you for the info to, that's an interesting video.

[t008er]

wow... people are arguing over whether a video game simulation is an "actual" stall or spin. Good thing all the humans on Earth have a warm place to sleep and eat tonight. 744 you are our saviour for pointing this out ty. allah blesses u

[cobrachoppergirl]

My grandfather (fighter pilot): you mentioned a flat spin. That's something you never wanted to get in for itwas almost impossible to recover from. I remember once in Port Moresby there was another squadron that had just changed over to P-38s and they were on a training flight. There were 16 planes in string formation playing follow the leader.

[cobrachoppergirl]

A group of our pilots were on our flight line watching them. They went into a loop and the last man stalled out at the top and went into a flat spin upside down and was spiriling toward the ground and we saw one of the props fly off, all of us started yelling bail out, bail out as if he could hear us.

[cobrachoppergirl]

He never did and minutes later we heard a loud crash in the distance with lots of black smoke. I never did find out who he was, but for years I had nightmares of it and would wake up in a cold sweat yelling bail out, bail out. But time has erased the memory and I don't have that nightmare any more.

[dsarehere]

FSX IS WAYY BETTER

[Uygur102]

is this Flight simulator 2000 or something lol

[tdstudd1996]

u know if you had the motor on you could have avoided this

[stefanorso]

The issue of the spin is well explained by six or seven books. The last I read is "Anatomy of a spin", that reports even a tragical accident occurred to a pilt while flying a Pitts. The spin turned into a flat inverted spin, the pilot didn't react correctly and crashed. Certain airplanes can spin, others can't. Every acf has its own technique to recover. The Pitts can perform an inverted spin and recover. There is an example of this on youtube. No-sim can simulate the spin accurately.

[bleborio]

Hi! I study medicine + getting my pilot license, wanted to ask you about the condition of a pilot after 50 turns during a spin, at what point does the pilot lose conciousness in those cases, or at least is so stoned that he can't control the plane

[stefanorso]

The footage is a simulation. But real spins are not difficult to bear for the human body. A spin features about 1G. Real problems are experienced by pilots who fly military jets, when they've got to sustain more than 4g. After 7 or 8 g they faint and the lack of consciousness lasts for seconds. A spin does never raise structural problems for the the airplane: the only problem is whether or not a specific airplane can recover from a developed spin, along with the well known flat-spin's issue...

[trooper744]

Stefano, is this even a spin/stall? If we watch the video craefully, we notice that the nose stays on the horizon the whol time with non loss of altitude. If you ask me, you were simply playing with the skew and angle views of the a/c at an excelled rate, simulating a spin.

[stefanorso]

Thank you for your comment.

No, it was a genuine spin/flat spin.

The spin is the most crucial point for everyone who want to develop a flight simulator. This video is to try to gauge if and how realistic X-Plane can actually be when it comes to this very delicate aspect of the mechanics of flight. If you watch attentively the video, you'll notice the colored flight-path line. It's like a seal of genuinity. Numerous videos of mine on this website are based upon spins.

[ganymedeIV4]

Hah i've done this by accident a couple times in a BF-109e on BGE-sim while in a dog fight.

I've actually got it on video happening to some one else as i fly through a dog fight.

dude was shooting his guns on the way down.

Theres s@#$ you can do once it happens lemme tell you. least in a BF-109 with those hydraulic assisted slats of doom.

Hah no parachutes in the game either so you can to ride it down and hope you make it (you dont 99.9999999% of the time)

[stefanorso]

The Pitts Special is a fully aerobatic biplane. It can recover from any kind of spins, even after 50 turns or more. It can recover from inverted/flat spins.

[Metallicagab]

even if flight simulators are for training, who said you can't have fun with them?

[genesisforever1]

wtffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[vwguyaz87]

If the spinning doesn't disorient you the floating puke in the cabin will

[crashdown45]

dont call things on simulators absurd, you got my hopes up.... then i saw this crap

[Metallicagab]

my future.

[pamibi2]

Que pelotudo!!!!!!!

[AlexisBV]

so this is what the over-hyped "accurate" flight model of X-Plane does?

[amediastintas]

this is the most absurd spin. what simulator is this

[magd2448]

the engine wasnt on!!!!!!

[spartanwarrior340]

why r u using ur rudder???

[jasonyeozhishen]

i think when it stalls, when it did not even reach the ground, u wukk due by the spinning and not the crash.. lol

[khvnp1l0t]

lolololololol, awesome.

y'all quit bashing. i fly in real life, but sims are awesome. not everyone has the resources to go get licensed. plus, you can screw around however you like without any worry about gettin arrested or killing yourself ;)

[bgrassguy17]

this is why I hate x-plane... its completely unrealistic... fsx is the best GA flight sim out there... hands down...

[nak0906]

that is wrong i have never had one problem with x-plane 9 but though i do have the tower and big screen to go with it so u may have a point

[skipjackbj]

Go a local airport. Find a good CFI. Commit to completing your PPL. Try living in the real world.

[gummess]

Get a life, dude,... go fly real........

[rrpalk]

most absurd.....

also biggest duschbag....

sims....

for people who can't fly real planes

[alyfuturepilot]

the whole point in a flight sim is to help u get used to flying a plane before u do it for real, how do u think real pilots train in real life? btw i have FSX and i fly in real life

[muggles1985]

Got the proper controls for your sim then? Or are you farting around pressing buttons on the keyboard? Cos if you're doing the latter I suspect that's doing naff-all for your real-life flying. As for 'real pilot' training, I never got into a sim til well after I was solo

[alyfuturepilot]

get lost, u seem to be stuck up and think ur great, if u want to take the mic out of people's hobbies then get a life

[muggles1985]

ooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo

Not taking the mic(k)...innocent question and a statement of fact that's all. I'm assuming as you've taken offence your FSX isn't set up with full controls.

Just out of interest, what do you fly in real life?

[imamoviefanatic]

amazing...so real?.........

....

[mustiej70]

This video changed my life.

Thank you upload!!

God bless Antartica

wheeeeee!!!

[spfbreakdancer782]

so fake

[jwalsh8]

u made me lol :-) cant believe u got a thumbs down some people have no sence of humour

[wale43703]

Wow, spfbreakdancer783, you're completely mentally ill.

[Grotiusthebest]

wtf

[kemalistbozkurt]

[IcanDes]

Breakdance even!

[IcanDes]

Lmao!

How to breakdnace in a plane

[donkey9810]

at this time if it was in real life hed be thinking maybe i should have finished college instead of becomeing a pilot!

[geardude56]

r you offending pilots or r you offending stefanorso?

[creepyguy3]

dude relax , i an see by the flaps that first he went into a roll , and then took the rudder to the right fully.

[SMA380]

redraider stfu and stop complaining.. its a bit obvious you cannot tell the difference obviously.

[redraider217]

people that post video game clips on youtube.....i swear.

get a life

[03CobraRick]

That just shows that the flight model is not "super realistic" like everyone claims, a real aircraft does not spin that way, X-Plane spins seem to spin with an odd bank angle away from the spin, if anything it'd have a bank angle into the spin, but the spin attitude of most aircraft is relatively wings level, but can be upset and verticle/rolling oscillations can start with the application of aileron into or away from the direction of the spin rotation.

[Shogo39]

well you should go back and pause the video at 15 seconds and look at the control inputs. This is how a plane would react in real life. He is turning left on the yoke, which causes more drag on the right wing therefore pulls that wing back, he is also using left rudder which keeps the airplane spinning right. If he wanted to get out of it all he would do is opposite rudder direction of spin, control yoke forward and turn into the spin.

[glpxt]

A Pitts with a yoke... learn something new every day. <:o)

[muggles1985]

Turning into the spin is a new one as well...should be full opposite rudder, stick centrally forward (ailerons neutral) and then ease out of the ensuing dive

[jonbirge]

What's funny is that the author of this game (who is a megalomaniac if i ever saw one) claims that it's the most realistic flight sim ever....

[midgetmayo]

in real life wouldn't the plane rip apart?

[Hancock432]

lol

[flyhieght]

love it and wana do it

[flyingman6]

cool what game is that

[thetreeregimovies]

lol i do that all the time on gta sa

[Khips]

Intense.

[netscion]

I'll call that one "The Brain Blender"

[adamhermie]

Overstressed?

[uiiuiiop]

really

[aLmOsTSK8ar]

that looks like a lomzccevak except instead of pushing forward you pull back

[jefejefejefe]

way to good x-plane most realistic game ever

[aceman4533]

wow
