When you touch down, taxi to parking then go to get out of your plane to get something to eat only to realise you're still in your living room🤣🤣 insane immersion 👍💪
And a pilot chair full with seatbelts or harnesses...when he is doing the checklist it tells you to check the seatbelts and harness...its the only thing he doesn't do
Excellent flight. Followed all procedures in a very professionally manner. The flight planning without the ‘K’ prefix is no big deal. You have motivated me enough to build my home flight sim as well but I will take my time. See you upfront!
I flew from Van Nuys to Bakersfield in a Cessna 150 for one of my cross country flights. That was 35 years ago. I got my private pilots license but the expense was too much, so I kind of got out with only 120 hrs. This video really brought back those memories. Very nice.
This is an excellent video. I feel like I'm sitting next to you on a real flight! You should do an introduction series (if you haven't done so already) on basic flying, controls, weather and comms. Just to get us newbies more familiar with things. Maybe a lesson on instruments would be good too.
Josh, this was a real trip for me. It appears you work out of the Santa Maria area, and it tickled me to see Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc, San Luis Obispo, etc. looking over your shoulder on the charts. I was based at VAFB in 1972 for a year, and launched 2 MMIII missiles out of there in '75. I was "20/25" (left eye), and busted my USAF entry physical. However, I later used my GI Bill to get all my ratings through ATP, and retired in '09 with American Airlines on the "73". It was a Great Ride my friend, and I thank you for letting me have the Jump Seat --> "over to B F L" ("you don't need no stinkin' 'K' man"). Ha !
How fun. Thank you for the refresher. Back in the early 80’s I flew single pilot Part 135 freight and charter in southern and central CA in Piper Navajo’s and Cessna 206.
Awesome flight. Never flew the 150 or the 172's. Trained in Piper's back in the late 70's. Warrior's, Archer's, Arrow's and the Meridian. Love the setup you have. Nice work.
I watch a lot of flight videos. And your channel came across my eyes. This is only the second video I've watched but it's top notch front to back. Subbed on the first one,... hit the bell on this one. Much respect.
Got to say I love your videos and they inspired me to start building a small simulator at home, albeit a bit smaller to start! And, you are introducing me to some different hardware which is more economical which helps in the Wife Approval Department! Keep it up!
Thats awesome im glad my videos are helpful. I started with just a yoke and throttle and slowly added over time. I wish you the best on your build. Cheers!
Verry good quality demonstration. Thanks for the on-screen display of VOR updates, clarification on the web address, flight plan correction recommendation by AT etc. Use of checklists was not lip service so good job there also.
This is by far the best content on UA-cam keep it coming man cant wait to see the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 videos you got planned amazing job bro.
Really good flight. Just one small pointer. In initial takeoff your vertical speed indicator showed a huge value (almost 2000 fpm). In real flight your ears would hurt a little bit. Just take care of the vertical speed and keep it a little bit down. These lights airplanes are climbed between 500 and 1000 fpm depending on the weather (hot or cold) Rest was excellent. Keep up the good work :)
I have been flying every version of simulators since sublogic 1982. You have the best presentation I have ever seen. I cant wait to see Flight Sim 2020 videos from you. Your interior/exterior flight views are great.
Your channel is going to blow-up man. Some of the best stuff I have seen. Minor approach advice, for KBFL 30R you have 10,849 feet of runway. The 152 needs for a safe stop is 150 meters or 500 feet. You see where I am going here? It's a good habit to get into of floating it down the centerline just a touch to avoid coming up short. Other then that man, I loved everything. Can't tell you how impressed I was with your flying and your channel....top-notch man. Blue skies and happy trails.
Amazing setup! I imagine it could become quite warm sitting between those monitors. Have no idea how I only found your channel today. You definitely have me itching to get back into the virtual air.
Great job-loved the editing! We’re pretty much in parallel, going through the CAT ratings at the same time by the looks of things & our set-ups are almost identical too... Hope to catch you on PilotEdge sometime soon & if you fancy some formation, give me a shout! :)
Thank you sir! Ive been taking my time getting through the ratings. Formation flying is one thing I haven't done in the sim yet but definitely want to. Lets do it. josh@homesimpilot.com
I literally had anxiety and bliss at the same time. Your setup is literally immersive. And I’m watching through my phone screen at 2am 😅 great work. I subbed. I am really getting into this sim stuff. Any advice on how to get going in it?
@@mattcarpenter3260 Summed up nicely. I've been working on a C-172 cockpit, and the only thing you didn't mention was time, LOTS of time! Thousands of dollars and two years later, I still have a long way to go.
Nice video. Ive started my flight SIM journey with MS Flight 2020 , I now have XPLANE 11. I purchased my first yoke(Logitech Pro) but im thinking about sending it back to get the Honeycomb. I like that setup.
Loved every minute of this. I just subbed the other day and this has become my favorite flight sim channel. There were times I almost forgot that I was watching a simulator.
This was amazing!!! I subscribed and started watching your vids. It inspired me to start my own build. I just bought 3 TVs and working on getting the computer build now. Hopefully my own home sim will help me get my own private pilot certificate.
Never watched a flight all the way through, you made it very enjoyable and very professional, I'm impressed. good luck on the future. An incredible set up.
Bro, I'm gonna watch all your content now that I found ya. Absolutely amazing. I'm 43, so kinda late to try to become a pilot IRL, but I've been a FS fan since I was a kiddo. Your setup is awesome. I use Xplane mobile for fun lol, nothing fancy. 👊👊😉💯
I just made 51...im looking into getting a student licnses. The desire hit me last week out of nowhere.."why not learn how to fly a plane?!" Since then ive been watching cessna pilot solo flight lessons which lead me to this channel.
Have got to say your xplane setup is the only i have seen look this fantastic with night lighting. Your setting definitely makes me want to switch over to xplane. Awesome flying with you and again fantastic setup for xplane. And if anyone want to compare night light of black marble for p3d here you are. Black marble inst even close to how great this looks
Great vid. Great set up. i been out of flying for approximately 18 years. Got too expensive. Still love it though. Your videos are very inspiring. Keep it up.
After watching this professionally done work, I just HAVE to fly to China Lake Naval Station from Edwards AFB (KEDW) tonight...Thanks for keeping me from getting lazy...
@@HomeSimPilot LOL..."Nice flight" with a horrible landing. A loud thump, that had me bouncing like a rubber ball. Maybe one day, I learn how to land properly, like you...sigh...
Everyone's armchair pilot dream! Together with awesome radio system of PE makes very realistic experience. Hope i will post similar video in future from my, i hope, future cockpit :). Also the trf controller was sooo kind and helpful, great!
Love your videos and setup man! I just started on PilotEdge and these have helped me out a lot. Only suggestion is adding timestamps to your videos for easier following. Other than that awesome channel man!
Some minor pointers: 1) 17:00 ammeter check is done by switching the ALT from the master switch to the off position, watching for an ammeter drop, switching it back to on and watching the kick and stabilizing at 0 or +. Certainly checking for it right away if you see the ammeter in negative even before that, its a clear sign of it providing little or no flow of current. The ALT ''kick'' is done to verify that the gauge itself is working properly and not stuck at 0 or in the center. 2) Around 24:06min in, the best way to communicate would be to indicate the altitude you're crossing (4000 for example) and the altitude your climbing to, so: 4000ft climbing to 7000ft, request flight following''. 3) 56:55 flaps up right after landing with fixed gear aircrafts. Although it might be part of your checklist once you've cleared the runway, its safer and more efficient for the brakes to retract flaps after touchdown. In retractable gear its said that its best to wait and retract flaps once clear of the runway in the off chance you accidentaly retract the gear instead of the flaps. Anyways, just some pointers I thought you might find useful. I know its nitpicking a bit, since other than those minor pointers it was damn near perfect. But again, you might want to add these pointers/suggestions (or not) to your next flights. Congrats on a great job. Have you considered going for a PPL or CPL?
I really appreciate you taking the time to give the pointers. Its very helpful and ill remember it for next flight! I did my CPL back in 2008 but got out of aviation and haven't flown in 10 years. I want to get back into it and just decided to build a sim for now.
@@HomeSimPilot Ive come across some pretty good sim pilots but your level is truly superior and it now makes sense haha. Great job once again though. From the comments so far, it is clear that you inspire a lot of peole to get into aviation in one way or another and thats always going to be a good thing! Greetings from Canada.
Wow!! Just wow! I discovered your channel and instantly subscribed! The dedication and passion you put into this simulator is beautiful... You have all my respect sir, greetings from France!
As ALWAYS ... AWESOME flight. Thank you for sharing. I am just a student pilot so as you're flying I try to think about the steps I would perform depending on the phase of flight you are in. It's a GREAT mental workout. Looking forward to future flights and adventures. btw ... AWESOME sim setup. 👍👍
Haha, when you got into the cockpit, then switched to the outside view (with no pilot in the scene) I thought "wait, where is he?". That's a convincing simulator!
Just found you as I am jumping in the flight sim pool, looking for some desk set up advice, etc. Enjoyed your flight to one of my frequent business flight stops, KBFL.
Fantastic! I only wish it would be economical to place your cockpit on a cradle, controlled by hydraulics to actually move it with the controls during banking, etc., like the ones owned by the airline flight schools.
man i wish i had the 1) space 2) money 3) a cat that would not destroy this setup 4) any free plugs in my apartment to actually power any of this not running on a chain of power bars great vids :D
I have no idea why YT hid all of your content from me for so long. Your presentation is unparalleled. Keep on rockin'.
I totally dig it ! I especially like the turbo-prop sound that C150 can produce ! 😄
wow those look like some huge monitors for the side views. Visually....it's stunning !
new viewer, subscriber will be back for more of your awesome comtent/;
Well keep it up man. I’m glad I stumbled onto your videos. Also minimal ads. Super informative. No bs. Love it !!
When you touch down, taxi to parking then go to get out of your plane to get something to eat only to realise you're still in your living room🤣🤣 insane immersion 👍💪
Comms, freqs and visuals..., that’s about as real as it gets. Gonna be a helluva lot more Sim Pilots on the planet before this year is done. 👊😎
Absolutely its super valuable. Im glad I made the investment.
you might gain a new one from me :D
Most realistic home sim ever made. All you need now is a motion platform.
And a pilot chair full with seatbelts or harnesses...when he is doing the checklist it tells you to check the seatbelts and harness...its the only thing he doesn't do
he has a rumble seat to sim the vibrations.
Excellent flight. Followed all procedures in a very professionally manner. The flight planning without the ‘K’ prefix is no big deal. You have motivated me enough to build my home flight sim as well but I will take my time. See you upfront!
Many thanks! Appreciate you watching and good luck with your build.
Just started to learn MS Flight Simulator, so watching your videos is inspiring!
Watched every minute. Great presentation! Nice flight!
Much appreciated!
How do u use aviation headset with sim?
I flew from Van Nuys to Bakersfield in a Cessna 150 for one of my cross country flights. That was 35 years ago. I got my private pilots license but the expense was too much, so I kind of got out with only 120 hrs. This video really brought back those memories. Very nice.
Man, you would be a great CFI and mentor to a lot of aimless young men who need intelligent, calm and dedicated role models.
This is an immersion killer for me. I feel like i flight with a potato now 😅
This is an excellent video. I feel like I'm sitting next to you on a real flight! You should do an introduction series (if you haven't done so already) on basic flying, controls, weather and comms. Just to get us newbies more familiar with things. Maybe a lesson on instruments would be good too.
Josh, this was a real trip for me. It appears you work out of the Santa Maria area, and it tickled me to see Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc, San Luis Obispo, etc. looking over your shoulder on the charts. I was based at VAFB in 1972 for a year, and launched 2 MMIII missiles out of there in '75. I was "20/25" (left eye), and busted my USAF entry physical. However, I later used my GI Bill to get all my ratings through ATP, and retired in '09 with American Airlines on the "73". It was a Great Ride my friend, and I thank you for letting me have the Jump Seat --> "over to B F L" ("you don't need no stinkin' 'K' man"). Ha !
Now that was an excellent, unhurried, full video, in an aircraft that I used to instruct in. Thank you so very much!
How fun. Thank you for the refresher. Back in the early 80’s I flew single pilot Part 135 freight and charter in southern and central CA in Piper Navajo’s and Cessna 206.
Awesome flight. Never flew the 150 or the 172's. Trained in Piper's back in the late 70's. Warrior's, Archer's, Arrow's and the Meridian. Love the setup you have. Nice work.
Great video. I learn so much sitting in your plane's back seat!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks a lot for watching
Awesome job! I am getting the bug after 30 years to start back flying again and watching this video is definitely helping the bug! Thanks for sharing!
I watch a lot of flight videos. And your channel came across my eyes. This is only the second video I've watched but it's top notch front to back. Subbed on the first one,... hit the bell on this one. Much respect.

Verry good quality demonstration. Thanks for the on-screen display of VOR updates, clarification on the web address, flight plan correction recommendation by AT etc. Use of checklists was not lip service so good job there also.
The integration of the 3 monitors is PERFECT ... looks like a real cockpit !!!
This is by far the best content on UA-cam keep it coming man cant wait to see the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 videos you got planned amazing job bro.
I just sat here and watched the entire video! I can see me getting into this....thanks for your excellent content!

Thanks for the ride! I had this video running on my second monitor while building a scenery for X-plane.
This video is the first time I came across your channel. Outstanding job and your setup -- it's spectacular! Thanks for sharing your training with us.
Another excellent tutorial. You really continue to teach and inspire me. Press on!

What a wonderful setup you have. If we lived in the same city I would definitely wanna be your friend, dood. You are super cool.
those mountains far away seen on the runway are beautiful
Beautiful sim rig, thanks for sharing !
Loved every minute of this. I just subbed the other day and this has become my favorite flight sim channel. There were times I almost forgot that I was watching a simulator.
Dude, you've built one awesome simulator. But you'd also be a great guy to actually go flyin' with for real. . Methodical, attentive and focused!
This was amazing!!! I subscribed and started watching your vids. It inspired me to start my own build. I just bought 3 TVs and working on getting the computer build now. Hopefully my own home sim will help me get my own private pilot certificate.
Congrats on the CAT5! Hoping to see your CAT6 video soon! Loving the full-flight videos so much.
professional teaching at the controls. Congrats!
Nice. I just did my first from Sunnyside to kykm. Thanks for the home sim inspiration.

Not too old to be a pilot! My grandfather was 55/56 when he got his PPL.
Yeah, never too late. Can certainly be too expensive though..

Your home cockpit is so great
Awesome flight! I live a few blocks from Meadows Field. I can see the tower from my window!
Very cool! Thanks for checking out the flight
cool. He will let you know next time he is landing there so you can watch for him
Awesome Sim-Video Dude! Great work!
That was awesome!!!
Fantastic! I only wish it would be economical to place your cockpit on a cradle, controlled by hydraulics to actually move it with the controls during banking, etc., like the ones owned by the airline flight schools.
man i wish i had the
1) space
2) money
3) a cat that would not destroy this setup
4) any free plugs in my apartment to actually power any of this not running on a chain of power bars
