I love what MS did with the Superhornet cockpit! It's the only way to fly this bird currently. Trevor, keep in mind.. Never have your gear out above 250 knots, that causes damage. Also always have full flaps below 200, and keep your velocity vector inside that "E" bracket in the HUD. That will insure the jet is at the right angle for landing. You don't have to flare really, the Hornet is in a real nose up attitude as it is when she touches down. Keep learning, keep flying!

tmar would be a convincing pilot visually. Experientially, terrifying.

The Split S is designed to trade altitude for speed. When landing you dont want speed! Love watching you learn in real time. OH! The other thing is when landing, use throttle to change altitude and changing your angle of attack to control speed. Too fast? nose up. Too high? Throttle down. It's counter intuitive but necessary to understand for success. :)

Been loving the MSFS comeback! Excited to watch this.

Trevor never fails to give me a boost in my day when I need it. Thank You Trevor.

I love the dramatic tension of this whole scene. I was on the edge of my seat with this approach as if you were in a real life situation. Only for it to end with that comical bounce at 29:04. I laughed pretty hard.

I love these MSFS videos. I hope you keep making them even if it’s just a video every few months.

Pro pilot tip from a ATP Pilot. Keep your descent angle steeper and get some of that energy into the runway. Shallow landings are longer. Great vids. Love the Tomcat as well. Looking forward to that video!

This was more like "Edge of Tomorrow" rather than "Top Gun" 🤣️ (And I love it! Great content as usual.)

My home Sint Maarten 🫶🇸🇽😎 Proud to be a local 🤘🏽Edit: I must say I love how accurate in detail the game is to our little island !! The bridge he flew over after the touch and go is called the causeway bridge and was built in 2014 to help resolve traffic issues between French Saint Martin and Dutch Sint Maarten !! Pretty cool to see it in game as I drive on it, and under it XD

Man! I actually had the inner ear dizziness thing a couple times on this! That 1440p res Trevor is killing it! Fantastic man.

9:31 Nice job with that Cobra Maneuver! You did it without even knowing it is a special maneuver. Just "A big pull-back."

when he said “there is one last thing I wanna do” at 35:05 I thought he was gonna try the aircraft landing again :) but I’m waiting for the separate episode on that love you Trev keep up the great content!

I flew into Grise Fiord (CYGZ) in a Dornier 228 back in january 2019. It was a really cool experience! f you look on the airport diagram it actually has curved approach lighting and a go around bar where you "must be assured of landing" or commence an immediate left turn go around. The airport itself sits right next to the town. It's also one way in and one way out, therefore winds have to be light to nil. Its strange that MSFS didn't include this airport because it was in FSX.

Microsoft Flight Simulator gameplay has been so great, great work Trev on all the content.

Literally can't get enough of this Sim, think a Month played, 36hours flight time. Man this is what I'm about! 🤣😂🤣

Never stop making these. Please👍🏻

Two tips for you if you want to do this again. 1. Land with PARKING brake on if you know how to enable it, 2. To enable steering on the f18 there will be a red circular button if you push the stick to the right to activate nosewheel steering

For the aircraft carrier landing. Manage your descent with power only and don’t change your pitch until right before you touchdown

Beautiful game, i completed Tom Clancy Black Hawk like 5 times a few years ago & it looks a lot like it!

Awesome video :D Really enjoyed watching each attempt! I kept finding myself leaning left and right when you were coming in for each attempted landing LOL

When you do shortfield landings, always helps press stick full down after landing = additional elevator drag, helps with reducing airspeed at higher speeds especially, increases stability on the ground too. Risk is nosewheel collapse if done too fast/abrupt. I am not a fighter pilot, but I am an Air Transport, Aerobatics and Bush pilot.

Always love the Flight sim episodes and these Top Gun ones are even better!! Please keep them coming!!

DCS World for a more accurate "everything" of fighter jets. 135-140Kts full flaps and proper AoA for landing the F/A-18. Gear over-speed is 300kts in that jet, and will break in DCS. FYI, there is no reverse thrust on the F/A-18. This was entertaining nonetheless. Keep flying

If you start at a higher altitude, and you come in slower, you'll will not only descend at a higher angle (which you need because of the trees), but you'll be flying slower when you reach the runway. Been playing with these flight sims since the 80's. : )

that jacket looks sick asf

Just a heads up on Reverse thrust. It actually doesn't change the distance that you'll stop. As an example, if I landed with medium braking and no reverse thrust it'll stop at 'X' if I land with medium brakes and reverse thrust you'll stop at 'X' but the aircraft uses less braking to achieve the same result. It's a way to save brake wear. Really enjoy the videos and the excitement.. With love from an Airline Pilot :)

This is amazing, I love the way you were flying the jets.

Hey Tmar I have a good tips for you when landing make sure your 50 over the numbers and on touch down put your yoke all the way down to apply week pressure and have revers out right away when landing

Loved this video, especially how honest you are with the attempts lol

Brooo I remember when you originally did the toughest landings!!! Those were such great videos, this is gonna be great!

Was at Maho beach a month ago, the jet blast is way more then you think. Feels like a hurricane!! Beautiful island!!! Very nice locals.

You are truly a ball of positive energy and this one of the few places on KZfaq not associated with drama and crap. Now, I’m very new to PC Gaming but have been playing Flight SIM Games my whole life. This was honestly extremely fun to watch, and while I’m soo happy I’m able to watch you do your thing, I want in on the fun. Can I get this flight SIM Game on a Windows Gaming PC?

also i think for future landings sure the E-bracket for landings its next to the trajectory indicator (-0-) when landing gear is deployed it will look like this E-o- and you want to keep the left wing of the trajectory in the middle line of the ebracket and keep the ebracket and trajectory lined up on the runway to ensure that you have a better angle of attack and know that you will hit the runway

I’m excited to watch! Already dropped the like ;) Always here for MSFS. What hotas/setup do you have!

I would recommend turning on developer mode, you can find that in general settings under the sub section "DEVELOPER MODE", it turns on plane invincibility, and also brings more features.

If you love this game you’ll love DCS world way more complex and get to know each aircraft and it’s so fun

Tmartn if you want more fighter jets, you should play DCS. It has more of military aircraft and is much more realistic

Not sure how this came up on my feed. But this is awesome! I need this game in my life immediately!

Love the MSFS stuff and similarly enamored with fighter jets again. Would you ever try flying some jets in DCS World?

I saw top gun yesterday. Holy definitely one of the best action movies of all time. The rare time the sequel is better than the original

Speaking of antarctica, is it possible to fly over Mt Erebus? Our national airline AIr New Zealand used to run sight seeing flights over antarctica back in the 70's and an airliner crashed into a mountain. Not sure where Mt Erebus is exactly but it shouldn't be hard to look it up - be interesting to see the route and maybe check out what the passengers on those flights were going there to see.

I went to Sint Maarten on a cruise once, I wish I had known about Maho Beach at the time, but I just spent the day along Front Street eating food and enjoying the drinks and shopping. If I go back, I'll definitely have to stop by Maho Beach, thanks for the tip.

Also textures in Canada, you can try turning on rolling cache in the data settings which should download part of the scenery so it's not streaming in.

love the flight sim videos. hope you continue these

Who else isn’t excited about fighter jets after Top Gun!! I loved the Ed Harris reference too!! Keep it up!

If you love MSFS and fighter jets then try DCS you'll definitely love it!!!

Hey man you said it yourself your passion has be reignited so im here to say PLEASEEEEE PLEASEEEE PLEASE KEEP DOIN MORE OF THESE I LITERALLY LOVE THE SERIES always good length on the vids i learn stuff about places ive never been please we dont gotta do the north pole im cool with italy or brazil or somethin 😂😂😂😂

I would love to see more of microsoft flight simulator

LOVE THE FLIGHT SIM CONTENT. keep it comin :)

throttle down to 40% use your air brakes with smooth control inputs. then adjust throttle as needed on approach!

Just imagine you put this much energy into something real

Your enthusiasm is 10/10

Hey Trev for the future when you do a Split S you should maintain 350 knots through the maneuver and you should not do it unless you have 10,000+ ft so you don't go flying to the ground.

These videos are wonderful keep up the work

Please do more of these types of videos they are so entertaining and cool to see.

Good episode, would liked to have seen another attempt at Alaska after you figured out reverse thrust. 👍

Was looking for some great content and I get this notification. Awesome!!!! and it’s FS2020????? Mega awesome!

Push down on the stick when braking so that the wings that move on the back go straight down to create more drag and help stop quicker

I love your videos keep all the good work you do up 😆!!

Please don't stop with the Top Gun content!

Bro just his face at 6:09 when he said “we did not have enough speed to split S” 🤣🤣🤣

Great vid Trev!! Love the jacket btw 😁

bro i love this series

That oh is the most satisfying thing I've heard in ages haha

I saw the movie a few weeks ago and after watching it made me want to hop on flight sim like you did

It would be cool if you followed up this series with a real world discovery flight - the first step to becoming a pilot. A test to see how close the sim is to real life - haha!

Oh my, your landings are making me anxious.

I'm just imagining a commercial pilot: "Is our landing gear even down?" steps outside plane mid-air to check....

I think you need air show style high AoA on the verge of stall and just hold it there until the threshold and drop onto the piano keys

I like the top gun series please keep up the content

Should try it with grippen or typhoon. Grippen is designed to land in 1600 feet and has reverse thrust and air brakes

Been to Maho Beach twice, it’s super cool and definitely recommend!

Thank you for making this video I'll enjoy it

Landing/takeoff in a commercial jet at Tegucigalpa was the hairiest I’ve ever experienced, in real life, as a passenger.

I got the flight sim yesterday I'm so excited to use ot

I believe the F-18 Super Hornet became a bit more popular due to Top Gun: Maverick. Though this fighter should of been popular back when Independence Day 1 came out way back when XD.

Trev I think we need a stream of you taking the Darkstar around the earth to prove that the earth is indeed round 😂

for blackouts, you need to go to your assistance settings and turn on g-effects

I suggest you give DCS a try if you look for the most realistic flightsim for jets available ;) Me and i am sure many others would take some hours to show you the basics. FYI the FA-18 landing gear should not be out over 250 knots.

you don't have reverse thrust in the low bypass jet engines of a fighter but you DO have speedbrakes (which you saw deployed)

Finally saw top gun and that movie is incredible

Sick jacket Trev!! 🤙

I needed this

The switch to turn on the nose wheel steering on the Hornet is on the joystick in the cockpit

Gear down at 520kts. So realistic failures is off then! An on-speed F/A-18 would be nearly perfect for St Barts. On speed vfpm is about 700 I think and you don't flare them, you kind of slam them into the deck. If the sim is right, you go gear down and an E shaped bracket appears on the left side of your HUD. Get trimmed so the middle of the E bracket lines up with the circle with the three lines coming out of it that denotes where your plane is headed. Retrim as you go full flap to keep it in there and use throttle instead of stick to point the circle at the runway. So long as that gets you descending at 700fpm or less, you've landed an F/A-18.

Captain Martin, try to learn to do side slips and forward slips. This will help drop speed and altitude on lower approaches.

Great video, Trev! Also, love the jacket!

If you want an awesome fighter jet sim give dcs world a try. You can even dogfight other players.

Amazing video as always! If u don’t mind me asking. What program do u use to edit ur videos?

Maybe it's just me but it doesn't look like he uses landing trim which would probably help. Also I watched someone land a C-5 at Lukla lol.

you need to see if you can set up a fly along on a jet and vlog it. would be amazing

Yo, you should try your hand at DCS. Takes a little bit of prep time and money, but I think you could realy enjoy it.

“I would be really your surprised unless you’re an absolute Top Gun..” LMAOO. 27:10

Dude you fly so fast when you land. Coming in at 350+ knots jesus

Can’t wait for the Tomcat video, keep it up bud! 👍🏽

Man Trevor looking sharp loving this series also please check out more house flipper pets dlc

Trevor watch closely next time there are speed indictor beside the HUD it tells you the speed weather your too fast or too slow same as the ship landing 👀

You should try landing St. Barts, but approach from the opposite direction🤔 Probably not hard for Captain TRex, but I’d watch it!🔥

Great video--you know you love this game the best! You need to update your settings
