I'm at work, and my 7 year old son sent me a picture of his first successful landing in Microsoft Flight Simulator. He was so proud!

Sully Sullenburger in the making
ID: h6y369lID: h6yg9hyYou can almost always use the airplane again the next day. Just maybe not as an airplane.
ID: h6yb2raI'm just picturing a CEO getting off the plane, asking the farmer of that field where the terminal is, and just heading off in that direction with a wheeled suitcase while talking to someone on the phone.
ID: h6yvkq1Something similar happened in 1963 when a Soviet passenger plane crashed in a river. The plane got towed by a tugboat to shore, all the passengers got out, got their luggage, then got on a bus.
ID: h6xp8j7Hate to highjack the top comment but Ive been looking for a game that my gfather had when I was younger. It was a flight sim but for model airplanes, I think it was "top flight" something but not 100% sure about that. It was around 1997-2001 that I played it.
If anyone know the name I would really appreciate it. I'm just trying to reconnect with a fond memory.
*if it helps it was planes like this and had a controller like this that the game used
ID: h6xpnw8I really suggest trying
they're really good with that sort of thingID: h6xu7gpMaybe Real Flight?
It goes all the way back to the 1990s.
ID: h6xr7esI can’t help you, but I just want to add that I also played this game. At a hobby shop that sold model airplane and model rockets equipment. I was there for the rockets, but the game was fun. I once knew the name considered pirating the game, but I never did because I wanted to play with a real controller instead of my keyboard.

Well it ain the Hudson, but it's still in one piece. Have him try an deploy the landing gear next time. =)
ID: h6x5epbIf he dropped the gear he would have trashed the plane I bet.
ID: h6x5owmHopefully there's a godmode in flight sim then, lol.
ID: h6y4a57Speaking of which, is the game simulation complex enough to try and land a plane in water for an emergency landing simulation? (One that is not strictly designed to land in water that is?)
Or is it instant game over if you touch water?
ID: h6y7egcIn my experience playing the game, water = game over...

My dumbass thought you took a picture of that from your actual window looking into your yard. Turns out it's just Windows.
Congrats to your son on a successful landing.
ID: h6xrih1It looks even more real with the blur
ID: h6y45d7I thought it was like a train window shot, hah
ID: h6y5g21Them TCL windows just keep getting more affordable.
ID: h6x585rHaha, same here! Looked like it was taken from a car window or something 😀
-
This kid is going places, not runway but definitely places.
On a side note, i hope he keeps loving flying airplanes at least in the flight simulator!

*shrugs* close enough for government work
ID: h6y7bevWas way better than my first landing.
ID: h6y7lciAh I see you went for the Australian landing manoeuvre, very fancy
-
Damn I thought this was a real picture.
ID: h6xnhxrI thought this was farming simulator 18
ID: h6y3yyqThe planes are coming in nicely this year. The harvest will be bountiful.

TERRAIN TERRAIN WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP

"A good landing's any landing you can walk away from; a great landing is one where they can reuse the plane."
ID: h6xk6ahThat makes all landings good landings in a simulator even if you crash into a mountain.
ID: h6y1nb3Isn't the point of a simulation so that nothing bad happens?
-
Press 'G' to extend landing gear. He also takes off backwards
-
If anyone cares that is a Cessna CJ4 🙂
ID: h6xsp7aStanchions

He managed to nail an emergency landing. U better be proud of him :))
ID: h6y3vipAt his skill level, every landing is an emergency landing.
ID: h6y5ubwLmao. This picture and this comment is the first thing that has made me want to play any Flight sim.
Playing “I bet you can’t land there” sounds like a hilariously fun time.
-
7 years old?? God damn kids these days are smart!
ID: h6y5t7mRight? I'm in my 40s and my dumbass would be stuck at the baggage check desk in these games.
-
I give it a 8/10.
ID: h6x0e91"Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. If you can use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing."
Chuck YeagerID: h6x1prvThat is a terrifying statement. xD
ID: h6y2r88Took flight classes when I was younger. That quote was the first thing the instructor told us.
ID: h6x40rgFAA has entered the chat

You should be proud of him. He did an emergency landing successfully.
-
Smoother than Harrison Ford though
-
Nailed it!
-
Well any landing you can walk away from is a successful landing.
-
It looks like when a dog rests its chin on you
-
In the words of a very wise Jedi.... "Another happy landing."
-
Did anyone go through the flight school? Anyone have trouble adjusting the trim? I feel like Microsoft needs to build a VR headset and have us do everything they want us to do in Virtual Reality. The simulator is pretty legit, I think you could almost become 90% proficient in becoming a pilot with this.

Obligatory “If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing”.
