In the video, DevildogGamer provides an in-depth demonstration of Microsoft's Flight Simulator, enhanced with the Self-Loading Cargo add-on that introduces realistic passenger management and airline protocol adherence. The video follows a flight from Phoenix to San Diego, emphasizing aspects like handling passenger anxiety during turbulence, complying with altitude and speed regulations, and managing in-flight services. Throughout the video, there are detailed interactions with air traffic control (ATC) as the Airbus, identified as November 320 Delta Lima, navigates through various stages of the flight, including takeoff, altitude adjustments, and final descent.
The flight crew introduces themselves to passengers, issues safety instructions, and ensures the cabin is ready for takeoff. During the flight, communications with Phoenix Departure and other ATC centers are crucial for managing climb, descent, and approach clearances. The flight experience includes managing an anxious passenger cabin, maintaining proper use of aircraft lights, and handling speed regulations.
The smooth landing on runway 27 is achieved despite minor challenges, and the successful conclusion of the landing is celebrated. The video concludes with the aircraft taxiing to its designated area, passengers disembarking, and preparations for the next potential flight. The host reflects on the flight's performance, addresses challenges faced, and expresses overall satisfaction with the simulator's realism, while considering improvements for future flights.

In this segment of the video, the host, DevildogGamer, introduces Microsoft’s Flight Simulator with a realistic add-on called Self-Loading Cargo. This add-on enhances immersion by simulating passenger management, flight grading, and adherence to airline protocols. For instance, players must handle passenger anxiety during turbulence and ensure compliance with altitude speed limits and proper use of landing lights to avoid penalties. The add-on also includes interactions such as controlling cabin crew and managing in-flight services like Wi-Fi. The host showcases a flight from Phoenix to San Diego, highlighting features like passenger loading and performance improvements, concluding with a smooth landing in San Diego.

In this part of the video, the flight crew prepares for departure. The captain and the ground crew confirm that all passengers are aboard and no medical issues are reported. The crew requests and receives clearance for pushback. The captain, first officer, and senior flight attendant introduce themselves to the passengers and provide a briefing, mentioning that loading is complete and departure is imminent. The safety announcement is given, instructing passengers on the use of oxygen masks, emergency exits, and life vests, and ensuring all carry-on luggage is secured for the flight. The segment ends with the crew hoping passengers enjoy their flight.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the air traffic control (ATC) communication is featured as an airbus, identified as November 320 Delta Lima, requests and receives clearance for takeoff from runway 2-6 IFR to Lindbergh. The crew acknowledges the instructions, initiates the takeoff sequence, and confirms “positive rate, gear up”, before tuning into the next frequency at 123.7 for further instructions from Phoenix Departure.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, delta lima is climbing through 2,100 feet en route to 6,000 feet. The communication with Phoenix departure is noted, and it is clear that passengers are unhappy and experiencing flight anxiety. Instructions are given to climb and maintain flight level 200. There are observations regarding the passengers, noting that despite their anxiety, no one needs the toilet or is drunk. The video segment ends with instructions to contact Albuquerque at a specified frequency.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the conversation primarily involves an Airbus (specifically identified as November 320 Delta Lima) communicating with various air traffic control centers while climbing to different altitudes. Additionally, there are brief casual remarks about nervousness, Cyberpunk, and preparations for landing, including ensuring passengers are seated with their belts fastened and trays in the upright position.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the main focus is on the air traffic control communications with an Airbus aircraft, identified as zero delta lima. The aircraft is instructed to descend to various altitudes including 3,600 feet, 3,200 feet, and 2,700 feet. There is also a brief mention of using the speed brake to aid in the descent. Additionally, the exchange concludes with the aircraft receiving clearance for an approach to runway 27.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on the final approach and landing of an Airbus aircraft, identified as “November 320 Delta Lima,” on runway 27. The pilot works on aligning with the glide slope, manually flying the plane while handling a minor stutter and being slightly high at 300 feet. They adjust speed, deploy thrust reversers, and apply maximum brakes to successfully complete the landing at a descent rate of 126 feet per minute. The landing is celebrated as particularly smooth and well-executed.
00:21:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker refers to instructions given to an aircraft arriving at a specific taxiway, mentioning the airbus by its identifier. The speaker expresses appreciation for the flight simulator experience, calling it the best they’ve had, although they briefly mention their dislike for a certain part of the simulation.
00:24:00
In this part of the video, the ground crew is instructed to connect the jetway to the Airbus. Passengers are informed by the captain about the details of their flight, including its duration and the current status of cargo unloading. All passengers disembark, and the crew prepares for a potential turnaround flight.
00:27:00
In this part of the video, the user comments on hearing the noise of vacuuming and cleaning, indicating some background activity. They discuss details from a flight report, mentioning issues such as pushing down too hard on the controls, which resulted in an uncomfortable passenger experience, and managing aircraft speeds appropriately. The autopilot’s pitch-down action caused some problems, and they emphasize the importance of turning on landing lights below 10,000 feet and ensuring correct speed regulations. Upon encountering difficulties, they decide to start a new flight and express interest in available aircraft, specifically mentioning 747s at a particular concourse.
