"Imagine if your rudder pedals failed and you just fell straight into the water... that'd be pretty OP" - Matt 2014

What a great video Matt. It also made me decide to buy the 318/319 when it's released. Watching your videos in the man-cave in the evening with a cup of coffee (kids asleep) is always a nice way to wind down. Keep them coming. :)

Nice job Matt! Smoothest landing I've ever seen you do. Congrats!

i must say, nice editing, with the music and ext. views... and a perfect flight, can't wait for the atlantic crossing and the journey back! :)

Thanks for the video Matt. Having been on BA 1 & 2 I can confirm it is an all business class service with 8 rows of 2+2 seats. Actually it often flies somewhere between 30% and 80% full, it's not very often completely full. I am going on it again a few times early next year. The SNN stop allows the A318 to refuel and for a flight crew swap, the cabin crew stay the same. The passengers all clear US immigration and customs at SNN whilst the aircraft is refuelling, and this means that when you land at JFK you land as if a US domestic flight so no immigration and customs, just grab your bags and go. BA3 used to preclear at SNN but the US CBP reduced their hours at SNN so it now lands there and refuels only, and you still have to clear immigration and customs at JFK. Also thanks to your stream a few weeks ago I went to. Flightdeck Experience in Bacup yesterday and really enjoyed it. Already have a few more session booked.

Nice touch with the music Matt and as usual, great video!!

I really like your tutorials about understanding airplanes proficiently. Also you have some good scenaries and nice intro with the atc.

Very nice, I especially liked the cruise views with music.Therapeutic!

Really enjoyed this video Matt! Keep up the good work :)

I was in Shannon a few days ago and saw this ba flight coming in great vid!

AWESOME VIDEO! Awaiting for someone to do this for a long time!

What an expert you are, and what a fantastic landing!

As always Matt, another great vid!

WOW!! What a brilliant landing. Love your work Matt, you've inspired me to start KZfaq myself. Keep it up!!! :)

Great vid! thanx for being up that early ;)

Great one matt ! Enjoyed it a lot

Glad you viewed all the addons!

Love the new wing view scenes matt

"DIKAS... pronounce that as you wish." xDD

Love your videos Matt! :) I had planned to dust off FSX this autumn. But due to actual flying (as a passenger) taking a higher priority. My plans have been postponed until spring 2015.

I used to work at LCY and seeing these leave twice daily was quite a sight! :)

Oh, and they do actually offload the bags at SNN. Basically they go and CBP take a photo of each bag. When you go through immigration and customs they show you a photo of your bag and ask you to confirm it is yours. Then it goes back on the plane.

Enjoyed matt looking forward to the a318/a319 being released i must say.

Great vid matt !!

Great video and impressive landing.

Nice one Matt!

What happens is while the plane refuels, passengers can pre-clear US Customs so that they can fly in as a domestic flight. More convenient for the business passengers.

DAT LANDING DOO!! :D I even watched it back 3x so smooth! Thats what you get you flickering PAPIs

Nice vid Matt. Enjoyed your little external montage in the middle, shame you didn't catch ThAT landing from the outside.

I live near city airport and I must say that they did a good job creating the university when you were facing the runway

Amazing landing just very good!

Great video Matt :-)

Nice landing!

Great landing!

Great video The July issue of Airways did a story on Speedbird 1

Love your intro! :D

well done! you Definitely controlling the aircraft properly!

Very enjoyable to watch, thx

Cute little plane. It really does looks like an Air-'bus' Oh and fantastic landing; wish I was on-board for that one!

Nice landing!!!

Inspirational Matt - Thanks

That was great, I've got a lot to learn!

Nice flight

didnt realized you touchdown !! niceee

great video

Nice one!

nice landing ;)

Another great video! :) I can't seem to find one, but have you done a video showing around your setup and flight systems?

Nice video! The pax deboard the aircraft and clear US Customs while the aircraft is refueling. That way the aircraft parks at the domestic ramp at JFK and the pax will have no delays getting to their destination in New York or their connecting domestic flight. The Speedbird 1 and Speedbird 2 callsigns are the same as were used for Concorde. You're right that the aircraft is in an all premium configuration.

usually what happens when this flight arrives is it parks at the side of the terminal. usually gate 2. the passengers get of the plane to use border clearance and get back on. in the meantime the crew refuel the aircraft. i live near this airport

Cant wait for a video on the trans-atlantic A318 flight, will be wanting to do this myself, will Aerosoft give us a custom config for the A318 that is tweaked for these EGLL-KJFK flights?

Love to see that landing on replay well done, love your outside views too :) So tell me Matt what is the point of going to Shannon if not taking on passengers or fuel? Shannon always reminds me of the old days of prop cross atlantic flights had to land to refuel to get them over the pond

Very nice!

you must be having fun with your recording software :P

Would love if I could land the airbus like that haha, great job!

Great video Matt. I have a problem with PFPX and Airbus X, I export the flight plan but when I type in the ICAO's on INIT page it doesn't come up with the flight plan to import. Please help.

Whilst you was on a flight sim, I was on a real commercial flight (Thomas Cook) to Malaga from Manchester. As it was my birthday.

Great video Matt. Have you ever done a flight to Corfu (LGKR) ?

Matt, when you talked about your contrails it gave me an idea. Have you been trying PrecipitFx for FSX?, also works for P3D. Lovely video Matt! ;)

Best softlanding of all time

Hello Matt, I was just wondering : How do u move in the plane like how do u go right seat up beside and stuff u know when ur moving on the plane(not talking about the view)

Hello Matt, Thanks for the video this is awsome, as always, just do you use Ezdock ? And is with this that you do the turnaround ? Thanks for answer ^_^

Question if anyone knows. As the trip to Shannon is purely for gas to get to Ny, do BA load up the gas to max To weight at LCY to save save time in shannon. (Or max LW in EINN).?????

good vid

Great video! Let's hope the 318/19 gets released soon! but, it was always possible to open the window, wasn't it?

Im also looking forward to the a330 to be released, then the work there way up to the a380 that would be awesome! Something aerosoft do is put out products a bit sooner than pmdg, it will probably be 2022 when the 787 comes out :P

Love it

wow i really want to know what the landing rate on that one was, very impressive

Hey Mat, great video! One question though. Where did you get your takeoff information from e.g flex temp and flap settings?

I love watching ya videos, but I know I am gonna sound daft as a brush, I know you use active sky next and rex 4 textures. I would like to know do you need to install a theme in to rex before you start the asn? or does the texture get installed automatically depending on the weather from asn? I am sorry if it is a daft question. I got rex 4 textures and I will get asn but I want to know how the 2 work together before I go buying asn.

hey matt how do you set your own personal views on x-plane 10? for example window views and wing views. i have been trying to figure out how for months now.

Hey Matt, Could you make a vidéo to Rio de Janeiro, Santos Dumont airport ? It has very complicated approach ! I would appriciate it ! Anyway very nice flight !

Matt, great video. How could you setup the V1 call to "GO!"?

great vid, is it correct they fly to shannon on outbound as EGLC runway is too short for a full fuel load?

i have question, based on cost index in the aerosoft airbus ive noticed that when i complete the Init page i cruise at 36000ft but it sets my cruise speed to 317kts...that would mean it will go overspeed at the cruise altitude would it not?..the higher u fly the slower u have to go , or am i wrong, so Y should it set itself up to go overspeed???? just a thought

Dear friend From where i can download this same aircraft for fsx, means all flight computer and all it was saying it should say. Feom where i can download this aircraft which you used in this vidoe..

Hi Matt! I hope i'm not to late but! I nominate you to the ICE BUCKET CHALLANGE

you said on one of you videos that you would be able to see people board in gsx

Matt, would you mind telling me the name of the music you used for the interludes? Thanks

Love the 318

How do you move in the cockpit like that? [before you turned on the TRACKIR]

There is something weird with them reversers no? The red REV indication on the E/WD doesn't disappear.

Matt do a video on how you get your data, I know you briefly looked at pppx and got routes and fuel loads but like do a full tutorial on where you get your Flex Temps, the flaps data and cruise winds etc. Thanks 👍🏻

Hey matt my FSInn wont work with my FSX it says something with copilot is missing how do I fix that?

muy bonito video nice video

What yoke/sidestick do you use?!? Whenever I try to manually land my turns are over exaggerated. Thanks

what do you use for the ground control AKA the stairs, the luggage belts? Or is it included in FSX?

Hi mat I am a pilot working for Singapore airlines and I just flew from London heathrow to singapore changi I hope that you could showcase the flight from london to Singapore in FSX thx man lov your Vids

Hi Matt, This might be a dumb question. How do you move around the aircraft and the cockpit so flawlessly? Faisal

Matt, what camera panning addon do you use to fly around the aircraft?

I have FTX global, will I see much benefit to getting FTX England on top ?

+Matt Davies Love your videos and subbed, wish i knew the stuff you know. To fly a plane properly. I know just the basics, how to setup auto-pilot. You know any good websites, or you got any videos (to lazy to search) that explains beginners everything you are doing, from setting the plane up for departure, and setting the plane up for landing with everything included? And that would be for a person without 2 computers/monitors... Thanks. I will wait for your reply. Cheers :)

It's ecam (electronic centralised aircraft monitoring system)

Hey how do u get the addon airports where from ??? And keep up the good work

Matt I'm a noob in FSX, how do you start all of your flights from the gate with the stairs set up? Whenever I launch up my flights they start with engine on from the runway. Thanks.

i have fsx there is something really cool it is called Ultimate traffic 2

Hi Matt, i've just moved to FSX from X-plane 10 and I'm really stressed by the fact that I can't find a good controls setup. Can you suggest me something that makes FSX controls as close as possible to the ones that I use in X-plane ? I don't known who can help me with this issue but I know you play both X-plane and FSX so maybe you can give me some tips :) sorry for my bad english but I'm italian. bye

IT'S SO TINY!!!!!

Not shortest taxi,go to LLET-no taxi clearance,only takeoff

Nice video! I have 2 question. First, is there any difference between the Airbus X Extended FBW and the upcoming A318 and A319 FBW? And the second one, Why don't you use VSync?
