My Grandfather is the one who first took me flying. I miss him, but each trip into the virtual sky helps keep us connected. These videos serve as a way to honor his memory and maybe even kindle an interest in aviation for my own Grandchildren. They are a time capsule meant to be discovered when I'm gone. My attempt to stay connected to them as well. Papa loves you.

Finally looks like someone got CLE right. Lewis Research, the x-1000th BG, and my favorite spotting location on the south end! Nice!
@@aztec0112 it’s such a cool airspace. Thanks for watching.
Great video, as a resident of Cleveland it is always cool to see people visit - even if it is virtual
@@jackjolliffe7762 IRL I’ve made it as far as Akron. Some day, I hope to be back to visit Cleveland as well.
Land absolutely better than takeoff 👍💎💎
@@Е.М-ч8р it was a fun flight
@MelvinLeroy you fly freight version or just planning to fly this model, Leroy?)
I find something interesting all day long and get interesting notice) Hello 😎
Hello there!
I love the FJS Q400! A little FPS heavy on my system but as long as I avoid LAX I'm usually OK
@@29mnicholson No doubt. Gotta pick and choose your airports carefully with this bird.
that was epic!
You was streaming almost about 6,5 hours wow). I remember your long haul stream when you fly big old DC6 when run out of fuel😅😅. Long streams with good people with skills near professional are very nise. Mistakes for me i was not concenctrate on it when watch 🙂👍Leroy.
@@Е.М-ч8р it was a fun day of flying
Very nice, thank you from the UK
Any nice routes for c208 caravan? just few🤔 Can you help me Leroy please 😅 Hello!)
Try a few hops up in Alaska. PATK PAVD PACV PAWD PAHO PAEN should keep you busy for a while.
Leroy. hello! Why you not start from gate? 😅🙂 It is your first flight on this 777?
@@Е.М-ч8р my internet went out, so that part of the stream got cut. I’ve done a few in the 777, but not too many yet. It’s a fun bird.
Sometimes I get stuck and regardless of the aircraft, it won't roll. The parking brake is off. So I have to step on the toe brakes on my Saitek basic rudder pedals, and it will then "unlock" the brakes and roll. No idea what causes this.
how do you maintain altitude
If you are using auto pilot, there is an Alt Hold button on the yoke.
Can you link where you got the b777? I got one but it was from Captain Sim, and the plane barely works properly and you can't land because you can't slow down without putting max flaps, spoilers and cutting all engine power.
@@ObliviousVacuum the one I’m flying is from PMDG

@@MelvinLeroy Thank you so much.
Finally you try 👍
Respect for doing a > 2 hours simulator flight without an autopilot.
It’s such a treat to fly
I enjoyed this 55NM 2+hr flight. Gonna have to pull out my TS SR22 Entegra.
Moments like this are the best of times, my grandfather drove steam engines about 100 years ago, such a great time to work in transportation.
The boy will remember that for a very long time if not for all his life!
@@iampapa318 As will his Papa :)

Thanks for sharing this, Melvin!
None of them are rideable for hobos. 3000 to 5000 to ride it
Yikes
@@MelvinLeroy yes super expensive and you only ride it for 65 miles it said when I looked it up
Gotta see him in rawlins
Fsx or p3d?
P3D back in the day
@MelvinLeroy still recommend it for 2024?
@@Joshuamd80 If you still have P3D, it should work, but I haven't seen it used past V5
@@MelvinLeroy nice. I wish the aerosoft DC-8 was brought into msfs
Landing was very good! 💎
Hello Leroy. Is it really good? One important question and what about "-" of this model? Just your opinion 🙏🤔
I really like this airplane. Flight Factor did a great job.
Hi Melvin. Great video. What hardware are you using? It looks silky smooth.
Thanks. i9, RTX3080, 32 GB ram
Sexy engines🔥
Fantastic sounds on this bird!
the rotate md11 version 1.09 have a flight bags in it !
Old livery is gorgeous
Right? I love the retro look.
Rubbering a lot? Looks like) It's about winds you land nice Leroy! 👍🙂
Thanks.
This Is the route I flew: EVRA/18 SOKV2F SOKVA DCT KEMET Q11 INTOR INTO9M EFHK/15
Do you have waypoints for Riga to Helsinki?
T Rhein😂😂pul up))
Now i mostly fly in fsx on 777 pmdg and it really feel winds above 15) I get used to rubbering alot when land(mostly) or takeoff maybe for this reason i don't feel too bad😅🤷♂️🤔
I’m looking forward to the 777 coming to MSFS
It feels like a toy isn't it? I mean "small" 737) Hello, Leroy! 🙂
Hello :)
Always fun riding along with Melvin. Not sure this is a Beaver tho ;)
Aha! Good catch. I will correct.
Those approches are so difficult 😮
yet so much fun
That might be the best video cover photo ever.
What is it's maximum range?
Around 2400 miles depending on the load
As always I really enjoy your posts and they are a great help. Do yo have a pilots licence in the real world? Thank you very much.
Very nice of you to say. The sim is as close as I’ve gotten to real world flying.
Love your posts.... sooo relaxed and chilled.... Hello from Uk Dorset coast.
Hello back!
😯😯😯A bit high but very very smooth i think, Leroy! 🙂 Good job👍
Really enjoying DC-8 content on YT. Will be flying this on my own channel soon! When flying the B377 and Connie, coming 'off the step' into a cruise profile is a standard proceedure as far as I can remember. They would always climb an extra 1000ft or so and then descent to gain speed and get up to their cruise profile quicker. Rather than labour through that drag from the angle of attack. With props at FL300 you kinda need to do that as you'll be stuck with a high angle of attack way too long. I guess a propliner isn't the only aircraft that has this issue!! :P Keep the DC-8 stuff coming! Theres definitely not enough ppl interested in vintage aviation these days!
I really miss this plane. I no longer fly in P3D, but hold out hope that Aerosoft will bring it one day to MSFS. Thanks for watching
@@MelvinLeroy definitely. Well I made the same move to MSFS and here I am reinstalling P3Dv4 specifically for this and the Justflight VC10. Until devs get actual vintage airliners into MSFS. JF are bringing an INS/steam gauge version of the A300 into MSFS and I hope one day we get more
@@PeterMatthessCan’t wait for the JF A300
@@MelvinLeroy yea that will be interesting, although I did meet a JF tech dev the other day actually and he wasn't too sure how it would turn out. I didn't press him on the details but i'll be keeping close attention to the dev updates after hearing that to see whats going on
the livery looks like a copy of the Learjet that John Denver used to fly.
Leroy😄 hello!)
Hi
Definitely not the worst missed approach I've ever seen. 😀 Just needed that challenge that's all. ✌️
Are this engines really good? GE 90 from 777 pmdg for fsx says to me that they are still best of😅😂lol😁
I wish I was knowledgeable enough to know the difference. All I know is that I really enjoy this airplane and the new update has made it that much better.
@@MelvinLeroy always fun❤️
@@MelvinLeroy i mean when you takeoff look like you use half or all runway😅🤔
@@MelvinLeroy as for me i will have a bit panic if see this if feel this.. 😅
My takeoff rolls are so bad, lol@@Е.М-ч8р
Very clean takeoff 👍🔥
Great to see you back🙂
Just browsing through YT and here's my dude. I saw the Stream Eagle and recognized your voice immediately. This is great! What a business opportunity.
Ha! They are quite the pair.
