Vatsim's Cross the Pond (westbound) 2009

[BernhardRottweiler]

Nice. For full realism select the tape gauges when flying KLM MD-11.

[musicalaviator]

@BernhardRottweiler See my Cross the Pond 2011 video where I fly PMDG MD11 (KLM) ex EHAM in FSX/NL2000v4/AerosoftEHAM with the tape gauges too ;)

[musicalaviator]

@Appleshaz For cross the pond (and real life flights across the atlantic) Airlines are required to meet a slot time (so that all the planes don't arrive at the same place at the same time). For CTP you book your slots on the cross the pond website and you get a time for your departure. If you miss that time by more than 5 minutes you have "Lost your slot" and need to get another one. This can mean a ground hold, an airborne hold, or a change to a different parallel route.

god i wish i knew how to use vatsim, i always try to follow the tutorials but never get it right

[applesweeter]

What id VatSim?

[aceridgey]

Very nice video, impressed about the documentation.

Im an IVAO man myself but enjoyed the video and music,

by your name on youtube you composed the music also?

[tasspus]

Wow! What a great video! =D Nice filming, and very good editing!

[ThunderDonkey]

why did you got clearance from delivery while you were already flying?

[musicalaviator]

@ThunderDonkey That wasn't normal Clearance, That was Oceanic Crossing Clearance. You will notice it contained a crossing time and a SELCAL check.

[Redskins1726]

Ahhhhhh. There's nothing better than flying the MD-11.

[mcwhizzkid123]

gaspeli and musicalaviator the arguments u two had awhile back are so childish and perfectic whats the point gaspeli only gave hes opion which every1 is enitled to ! you 2 should learn to grow up ! and dont take things to heart and so serious !

[musicalaviator]

Gaspeli unfortunatley did not give his opinion in very good grammar, and was a confrontational opinion. It's sometimes fun to prod to see what reaction you get.

[mcwhizzkid123]

hmm true i see both of your points but he was just giving hes opion with hes problem on vatsim and ivao which hes entiled to hes opion ,but nevermind you both need to relax its just a flightsim not real world lol ! nice video anyways

[musicalaviator]

I was relaxing. Mostly via the "Airbus" in-joke. I was also testing how much of a troll he was.

[gaspeli]

im not retarded and i tune the right frequency,go to the idiots event

[musicalaviator]

Right. We all must be superhuman because 'when anybody is speaking (we) do hear (them) and then we gonna not kicked....

actually your grammar might suggest otherwise. You might call it "20 feet" but airbus is right. "Retard, Retard, Retard"

[gaspeli]

do you know what fuck you!

[musicalaviator]

Reduce your throttle to idle in the flare like a good little A320.

[gaspeli]

how wan you say me "idiot your retarded"

[musicalaviator]

perhaps your deaf and not passing 20 feet. But your spelling and grammar requires some work too.

besides you said "Go to the idiots event"

I assume you meant that as an insult, I was merely returning the favour.

Perhaps you should trade your Airbus in for a boeing so it doesn't call you names passing 20 feet.

[airplaneman121]

hey great video 5* i subbed please sub back

[wilfredotour2]

1:27, that plane needs some repairs on them landing gears and those passengers need medical assistance...

how comes you get the clearence on mid air?, you're suposed to get it from Delivery in the ground...

5:40, that looks like a Russian invation...I know its servinfo..

10:06, be careful,,you're gonna break your video camera...

great video..loved the music and editing...must have been a fun flight...

[Stefan0n9]

@wilfredotour2 About the mid-air clearence, I guess he gets a clearence to fly NAT C to Newark, not sure since I only fly in Europe

[musicalaviator]

Yes. You get airways clearance as usual on the ground, but the NAT track system requires another clearance (which is usually time-specific for about a 5 minute window on crossing the entry point). This is the slot system and during that clearance you can get new requirements such as 1: Different speed (they slowed me down 0.03 of a mach this time) 2: A midair track change (up to 80nm left or right to an adjacent track, usually Direct to thence track X) 3: New Flight Level. All done over Ireland

[Unitedastwo]

can someone tell me whats better ivao or vatsim?

[musicalaviator]

Vatsim! IVAO! Airbus! Boeing! FSinn! Squawkbox! Holden! Ford! Stupid! Opinion!

[Unitedastwo]

so whats better?

[wilfredotour2]

@Unitedastwo I've flown in both,, trust me, VATSIM...

[beechjet400]

Nice!!!

I invite you to watch my FSvideos!

[thefsxflyer]

Awesome editing!

[gaspeli]

i personaly dont like VATSIMor IVAO because when anybody is speaking im dont hear him.and then i gonna kicked

[azkodagama]

Great FPS!! What are your computer specs?

[boing71234567]

if your pause at 4:20 it shows the paper with the vatsim logo. were do you go to get that were you can fill out your flight plan and print it like that?

Awesome video 5/5

[49nst]

I was wondering the same thing...

[musicalaviator]

fp/index.php

at the main vatsim website.

It's just the prefile website :P I just print it off there for flyins where I think I might need to take some notes on the flightplan.

[konrad12xpl]

WOW 6:28 its looks like real

[brad450]

hey dont you have radar coverage when you cross from. santa maria and gander? and one in iceland?? PLZ reply!!!

[1053857]

No.

Gander Oceanic;

Shanwick;

Santa Maria:

New York Oceanic;

Rekjavik Oceanic all do not have radar.

[Jordache22222]

Thank you for the hard work. Good music and nice capture!

[pilotdrummer95]

Great video. Well edited and beautifully put together with well suited music. It makes me feel the same if I was flying on VATSIM! I might just have to join now! :0 pd95:)

[spikesonthebrain]

amazing video!

[Matt007b]

wow great video editing skills..I like it. Last time I did vatsim years ago it was super laggy but looks like they've fixed things real nice.

Cool video! :) 5 stars

[PVLL51]

amazing!

[mcgregs10]

How much would a computer cost for fsx and some add ons eg. PMDG and Level D etc? I am not looking to spend too much!

[eclipse245]

AWSOME!! I was there too!! POE127

[mcgregs10]

Is it fs9 or fsx?

Could you also tell me your pc specs please.

Thanks

[musicalaviator]

FS9 because the NL2000 v3 Scenery is for FS9, and with PMDG MD11 my FSX comes to a screaming pile of yelp.

Dualcore 3.36mhz Processor, 4G ram, 512mb on the Vid card, but only a 32bit OS still. 3G switch active.

FS9 runs like a dream. FSX works if you don't make it work too hard (ie PMDG MD11 at Orbx YMML on vatsim with ActiveskyX weather and SB4 with firefox open and looking at charts in PDF format all at the same time - like normal :P )

[musicalaviator]

Further developments. With exactly the same system running windows 7 64 bit, FSX runs perfectly. With Orbx, FTX, ActiveSky, FSinn, GEX, PMDG MD11/747/JS41 and with firefox with 10 tabs open, half of them PDF files running off foxit reader all running. No Out of Memory issues, no textures not loading for 10 minutes so your airport looks like a runway in a sea of yellow when you come into land...

FSX + Windows 7 (64b) = brilliant.

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

"Perhaps you should trade your Airbus in for a boeing so it doesn't call you names passing 20 feet."

lmao, that was freaking awesome man i LOL'd

[babbadudl]

nice video, but the departure airports were Amsterdam, FRANKFURT and Zurich ;)

It was really fun controlling at EDDF although we had to fight some server crashs.

Keep posting such good movies and always happy landings ;)

[Azuviri]

Good day, did you use Active Camera or something like that? This moves are great :)

[1053857]

Trent actually uses his video camera to film his screen as far as I know..

[Sinocian]

Looked like an amazing flight. Too bad I was on the other side of the scope. Any idea where you got the touchdown smoke and that for the AI traffic?

[musicalaviator]

woops missed this post.

AI traffic was entirely from NL2000's Netherlands Scenery (latest version/last version for FS9) Installed the NL2000 package (freeware) and didn't edit a thing. AI comes with it as does all the airports that start with EH and all the countryside between.

[anush10]

I missed the sign up by one day! There was an open slot but i waited tool long. Glad you guys had a good time. See ya next year

[musicalaviator]

There were open slots all over the place. Because of the DDOS thing, quite a lot of people were taking longer than usual to get connected (I took about 5 or 6 tries) and spots were opening left right and centre. Probably woulda gotten a slot within an hour of logging on even without a booked one.

[anush10]

Yeah i should have tried to get in and see what happens. The ddos was terrible, i was controlling ground at LAX and had planes just disappearing and reappearing all over my radar!

[flyhalf2]

Nice videos Trent. I assume you are using TrackIR?

What's the music?

I did LSZH-CYYZ and enjoyed every minute of the flight (BCA1)

[musicalaviator]

Graeme Koehne's "Powerhouse - Rhumba for Orchestra" mixed with bits from "Unchained Melody" from the same composer (not to be confused with the pop piece) I actually mixed bits and pieces from each piece to fit my video at random.

[Sinocian]

@flyhalf2: I was your centre, and you guys were great pilots, thanks for flying

[chrishanna29]

that's a great video!

Are the other aircraft in it the actual aircraft on VATsim? what models were you using for them? They look better than the standard model sets for squawkbox.

Maybe you could enlighten me!

Cheers

Chris

[musicalaviator]

I was running FSinn as I was unable to connect with SB3 during the server outage. (it would hang at the "Uploading Vatsim Server Info" stage) and so It's using all my AI models at random. However the stuff on the ground at AMS was actually AI, not vatsim traffic since I was too busy (installing FSinn, missing my slot, changing my FMC and rushing to make the next slot etc) to video my departure online, so I had to just re-shoot it. first true Vatsim traffic is what's following me at KEWR.

[1053857]

BERGI 1S Rwy 24 ;)

[Airflow993]

Great video, i was getting 6 frames on my landing at kewr. had to use the 744 cat3.

[markosbasa]

i was there, i made EHAM-CYYZ. the servers colapse a lot. any ideas? was an attack? great video!!!

[1053857]

Yea, the VATSIM network was attacked by some virus called a DDOS. It's all back up except the forums.

[eljojo123321]

Loved it!

[Lockstaaah]

Very interesting! Makes me want to start trying out online simulations myself!

[pgr92]

Awesomee videoo!

[TheAviator1]

well done I was actually that aircraft behind you on final lol i recognize your voice.
