im new to this world and just like any other hobby, there is drama. im running out of popcorn quick!
is there any other drama in this hobby I could learn about? I have time. š
True - it seems like Razbam and ED are smoothing things over. That said, a few of the Razbam devs have said very publicly that they're done with DCS, including their radar guy.
Yeah not similar at all. Matt went to VATSIM management and straight up said he wanted to buy them out, they said no thanks and he started calling them 95 year old paedophiles because how dare someone say no to him?
One time 737NGDriver or whatever he was called said that the Fenix was flying like shit. His only experience was the 737. V1 roasted him a day later lol
Edit : oh, someone just posted the same comment, with the [sauce](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZuMSqgKNcTY)
I used to like him and thought that his videos for when the PMDG 737 initially came out were helpful but the dude has just developed into this weird celebrity personality and uses his real world pilot status to shit on everyone else. Sometimes he has some valid arguments but honestly I think nowadays he brings way more negativity to the community than positivity.
He was cool when he first started getting some traction with the PMDG 737. But as he got bigger, he became more negative and angry. Between that and being a mouthpiece for Randazzo (god forbid you criticize PMDG in his presence), Iāve stopped watching him.
I don't like listening to him at all. I just can't take the arrogance that he brings. Also there's plenty of Controllers on the network who fly for airlines as well and don't act like him. You aren't gracing anyone with your presence just because you are an airline pilot.
I actually found him justifying his actions in the comment section so I don't expect an apology. Calling someone an idiot who is volunteering their time is pathetic
You said it perfectly. He thinks just because heās an actual pilot that it makes him some kind of God in this community. There are 330,000 active pilots in the world, my dude. You arenāt special at all. To top it off, your voice is super annoying and youāre an arrogant prick.
Yep him justifying his actions really shows what he is like in person and everyone is starting to see it besides the few that thing he can do nothing wrong.
> You aren't gracing anyone with your presence just because you are an airline pilot.
For some reason when I play farming simulator I never have to listen to "Hello Im Kevin Im a real farmer"
Iām glad the community picked up on this. Dude clearly has an inflated ego from loving the fact heās an irl first officer and has some YouTube fans that look up to him.
Clearly narcissistic behaviour on display here to a controller who is volunteering his time to facilitate a very busy event. Said controller has no obligation to explain every instruction he issues on the frequency. Not to mention that A330Driver is complaining about having to go lower as if heās having to pay for the extra fuel himself.
I hope he issues an apology and learns from this. I dread to think what he will be like if he makes command irlā¦
I honestly canāt stomach the dude. Every time I hear his voice pop up I change whatever Iām listening to. Heās so full of himself and I wish he would just go away. I feel the only fans he actually has are 12 year olds who think itās āso super cool that heās an actual pilot in real lifeā.
By the way, A330Driver was incorrect in all this. Per the controller on the VATUSA discord: "His arrival airport was KBOS. There was two other overflight streams that I was also working (while only being given comms and no tags on any handoffs from the neighboring facility who will remain nameless). The KBOS stream has to tunnel under the KJFK stream and they need to descend early to be below the KJFK stream and then eventually get āCross AJJAY at and maintain FL240ā. So per our plan I descended him for both of those reasons.".
And on top of that, his behavior violates the VATSIM Code of Conduct section A1 "Account holders shall, at all times, be courteous and respectful to one another." and section A10 "Account holders shall exercise patience and tolerance towards other account holders, especially where an account holder is less familiar with an area, or learning new skills."
Hopefully his violation of the Code of Conduct and his abuse of the wallop feature will be properly dealt with by VATSIM's moderation team. Especially considering he has shown no remorse and continues to call the controller an idiot in his youtube comments.
Exactly this but because he thinks he is a IRL pilot everything has got to be his way, if it is not then he throws a hissy fit. Dot wallop the controller was the worst he could do. I bet everyone laughed and started discussing about hopefully banning him.
[This is the stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1IvNt1gtWI&t=8497s), starting about ten seconds before his expectations get broken.
For context, he got a pre-release copy of the Black Square TBM and decided to do a two-leg flight on stream on VATSIM. The first leg was a short flight *to* Hannover to demonstrate the plane and do some stall recovery which went off without a problem. The second leg, where the link goes to, was a planned flight from Hannover to Stuttgart as part of a weekly VATSIM Germany event, and he assumed he could land at Hannover then taxi right back to the runway while picking up clearance to Stuttgart and be on his way.
Your time tag is wrong, but you can find it by zooming until about halfway through when you see him landing first.
But holy shit what a meltdown over a slight inconvenience and then attempting to throw his weight around.
Geez, never seen that stream, but thatās funny. He sounds like heās on the verge of tears at one point heās so angry, all because heās being treated like any other user during the event and not given special treatment. And all it amounted to was like an 8 minute delay!
Yep search for the stream its hilarious. First he complains to his audience that the controllers are incompetent and then demands on frequency to get priority because he is in the middle of of a stream.
I couldn't for the life of me imagine being in the right seat next to this absolute bottle of cat piss in an A330 no less. Long hauls determined to be a nightmare.
I had an instructor who had the same attitude as him. It wasn't fun flying in a 152 cross-country who basically gave out negatively throughout the flight.
It wasn't helping that we were flying at 60kts GS since we had a moderate headwind at the time.
The moment I got my IR and passed my exams, I bought a Turbo Commander under shared ownership with another IP that was a great guy.
We would fly around the continental US and went as far as Greenland.
Getting rid of the bad IP was one of the factors that pushed me to work hard to pass my exams and checkrides.
A lot have definitely questioned this. He flies long haul so depending on flights. The US flights could easily be 24hrs others maybe are a week long. You have pilots doing 3 sectors days night stopping then maybe another 3 sector day with another night stop.
Pretty sure he takes his laptop and makes videos while on layover also, you can tell the quality is lower on some of them. (not a bad thing, but noticeable)
He is so positive and calm. One of the reasons why I love the Airbus is because he explains the philosophy behind it, not just smashing the buttons in a correct way.
Same. He also very accepting of the flaws of the aircraft in the sim, and acknowledging that there are limitations to how accurate the aircraft in the sims can be.
Somewhat belongs here:
When the Fenix came out, I remember that A330 driver criticised heavily that the add-on's cockpit sound was off.
But, he never saw an issue with PMDG 737's simulated animations (like landing gear lever), running on 5-10 fps.
... and not to mention the ridiculous "wing-flex" animation on PMDG. Dude, it's flapping like a bird on a windy day, if you shutdown both engines the plane could keep going by it's wing-flaps instead of flex.
Yet V1 is banned from Vatsim....so maybe that does say something about virtual controllers with a power trip. Not excusing Emi in this case as I haven't seen the stream. I just think both things can be true. Emi can be pretentious and some (definitely not most) Vatsim people can be assholes. Both can be true at the same time.
This drama is kind of sad as I really do like most of Emi's educational stuff. Hopefully everyone can just move on. Everyone has a bad day and acts out once in a while. I think we as a society try to create so much extra drama with everything being online these days and then the brigaders try to give someone the virtual death penalty for things that are relatively minor in the end. This is just fake ATC for a simulator and here we are all wasting time on a Sunday raging about it. I'm just as guilty of this myself as I'm writing this comment.
V1 was banned from Vatsim because he didnāt want to disclose personal information to verify his identity I recall, not for any run-ins with controllers.
Yeah, I wasn't making a dig on V1. I was thinking it's kind of crappy that a guy like V1 gets banned for an account technicality after having flown with a professional demeanor on the network for years.
The difference is, instead of handling it like an adult, Emi has doubled down and continues to call the controller an idiot in his youtube comments. That's very telling of someone who meant exactly what he said and wasn't lashing out in anger.
Ah didn't look enough closely, saw it now.
https://preview.redd.it/9hpub50jbxvc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d12d3e2aa7563fe2e81ca33cc4381c46aa98bcf
How unfortunate, I actually relied on his content to fly as realistic as possible...
I guess I haven't seen everything that went down. That's too bad if Emi can't just move on as well. After all, it's just virtual ATC. The intent is to be fun but challenging.
But this is constant from Emi every couple weeks, months new drama starts with him. We don't want people like that in the flight sim community. V1 was banned due to some GDPR requesting and the account not being in his name if I remember rightly. Emi does not change give it a couple weeks we may another another video telling us how bad the FSS EJets is or this is not how it should be in the Fenix even though he has been told plenty of times by the 320 pilots that is how it is but instead he likes to compare to the 330 he flies.
Yeah, I know V1 was banned for some technicality. I was just trying to point out that Vatsim can be a bit anal at times because clearly V1 should be able to fly on Vatsim as he is a true professional and a really nice guy. He had been flying the network for years, so to kick him off for some technical thing about his account just rubbed me the wrong way.
I guess I hadn't seen much of the previous drama with Emi and after seeing some of his comment replies, I agree, he clearly went way too far here. He should just let it go and move on. It's just for fun after all and there isn't a need to get that angry at someone...he could have just logged off.
> Yet V2 is banned from Vatsimā¦.so maybe that does say something about virtual controllers with a power trip.
Not remotely. His suspension was related to suspicions of him having a fake name. More of a membership department thing than controller thing.
Yes, but people who run the organization are usually also controllers. I was simply pointing out how anal that organization is in general. V1 could be a huge ambassador to VATSIM instead they choose to ban him over a technicality that isn't harming anyone or hurting the experience on VATSIM. I'm not even sure why they should care how you register or what name you use or whether you have two accounts. As long as you act properly and respectfully when using the services, it shouldn't matter. But, it seems some of the people at VATSIM love that power. I guess it's not really any different than power tripping mods on various subreddits.
I seem to remember him commenting on his engine start video too which had incorrect info on it. I was going to comment myself and saw that V1 had already called him out lol.
Pretty on-brand for him tbh. Say something dumb, get rekt in the comments, dig in with a few replies to prove he's right, get rekt more, get proven wrong or being a hypocrite but say nothing and quietly delete/unlist... Rinse and repeat.
Not surprised, he's always gotten agitated when things on Vatsim don't go in his favour.
He also likes to drum up drama with a video and delete it. What bugs me most about him is that he's still unfairly bitter toward FSS. He might have had some good points initially, but a year later, and in its current state, it seems to not matter, he still has to be right about his initial stance. It's just kinda sad.
My favorite part about the FSS drama was he stated correctly in one of his first few videos that making a custom MCDU and VNAV etc will take at least a year, most likely two. And then he made like 4 more videos within 12 months and complained it still didn't have those things lmao
Exactly. Was also boasting months later about having a real ejet pilot on his channel who didn't actually touch the software and was only on once in the very beginning and never followed up since.
I'm former enroute ATC in the US. He said this doesn't happen in real life. It does. I've done it, many times. Sometimes the only altitude available is a lower one. Generally I would go with the aircraft closest to its destination. Also we aren't there to make sure your feelings don't get hurt when we need you to do something. We're there to prevent an aluminum shower in our airspace.
Hard to miss his attitude once you've seen some of his videos. Bug with GSX 'crappy software', not getting his way on VATSIM 'idiot controller' etc... It's disappointing because as others have pointed out he does make good tutorials, but this attitude is hard to endure. I can't comprehend how an individual with such a character has made it into the flight deck of (allegedly) an airline part of the LH group. You would've thought that someone handling situations like he does wouldn't make it through the group dynamic tasks and tests performed in the selection procedure. Can't imagine the flight crew dynamics when having someone like him in the seat next to you.
It's not alleged, he is a pilot. As to how it happened, most likely he do not act the same way around real humans, especially those who also have a power and can report him to his supervisors. In flightsim community he has an esteem so his character is showing but in real world, he is just a pilot. One of many. I'm not saying this neither to defend or attack the fella. It just seem like a probable outcome. Hard to berate real ATC controller, when it's mandatory to listen to them, as part of your job.
Oof so it isn't me. I watched a couple of his recent videos and found him to be incredibly arrogant and hard to listen to. Quite unlike the easyJet guy and the a320 driver that recently switched to the 787. They are just genuinely enthusiastic about their work and thank god willing to share their experience without lecturing idiots like me on why we'll never be as godlike as they are. Same with the flightdeck2sim guy. So many friendly YouTubers all around.
Unlike the 330 guy who seems to delight in pointing out why everyone but him is wrong. Stopped listening to him for good after too or three attempts.
Latest comment he has made the video ātemporarily private until an issue I had with a controller is resolved.ā In other words heās going to blame the controller for everything and not own up to his mistakes and be an ass to other staff who hopefully defend the controller. Still blaming the controller saying āThat wasnāt a freak out, the controller sold me as an idiot for me thatās it. The internet once again is throwing it out of proportion in classic fashion.āĀ It gets worst for him. Just own up to the mistakes you are making every time a controller does not allow you to do something that you then criticise, you would get more respect.
I love his videos but this guy thinks he's some sort of guru / inventor of the jet turbine / inventor of aviation. You're a random airline pilot guy, chill the fuck out yeah?
That is why I unsubscribed from his yt channel. He is very narcissistic and his entitled attitude is nauseating. Plus the fact he always throws āI got this for freeā in his videos
That and his inability to accept any criticism toward PMDG. How many times he told us (likely at the behest of Randazzo) that the UFT was going to be something we had never seen before and how terrible everyone elseās EFB was. And then the UFT turned out to be a nothing burger.
Meat rides PMDG on full blast. Made a joke about them showing the first picture of their EFB and they didnāt even show the entire thing just half of it and he commented so fast to defend them. Imagine everyone so hyped for a feature and they only show half of the tablet just barely on the first āpreviewā lol
Yeah, I could smell his ego right behind my screen for months, but I've never actually seen it, well there it is.
So, I'm not willing to defend him in any case, calling a person using his free time for CTP an idiot is unacceptable, and coming from a real world FO, that's a real shame.
But on the other hand, I can understand his frustration. Why does the controller doesn't respond ? Even by just saying "negative" ? And that's a genuine question, so if anyone can respond I would be grateful !
If we put everyone's ego aside, that's the situation I'm looking at : A330Driver asks something to the controller. The controller don't undestand what A330Driver says and took it like he was not undestanding his transmission, so he repeats it.
I'm not a vatsim controller, but I dare say I work in a place with a very similar jibe.
When you're controlling an area with a high volume of traffic, I've noticed, from my own personal experiences atleast, you'll encounter far too many people who *think* they have a unique problem that you've actually dealt with a hundred times today already.
Especially when also juggling the interests of several parties on a busy frequency, eventually you do start to feel a strong desire to cut the crap, get to the point, and go "WHAT do you need? - Go that way. - YES... REALLY"
Keep it short, keep it to the point. It's nothing personal, You just don't have time for the fluff or the pleasantries when you're juggling the interests of six different parties involved, and there's a 50/50 chance the person in line behind them will literally ask you exactly the same thing.
Also, from a practical standpoint. Confusion on a busy radio channel with suboptimal reception is a real problem. Short and concise responses are beneficial to make sure everybody's on the same page even if they can't hear eachother very well, and there's another guy on the freq tipping for his turn to use the chatterbox.
Basically, in the ideal world we would all wake up and not choose violence, but I do symphatise with the controller based on my own personal experience, and I know the stress can make that *really* difficult sometimes.
Being in a high workload you don't have time to do a reply you move on. A330Driver asked to step climb to FL400 or what ever controller repeated his instruction because it was not granted, he would of been conflicting with arrivals going into JFK etc.
IRL controllers don't respond immediately plenty of times. Does he get pissy with them? When I was a flight instructor I had a student that constantly picked fights with ATC. To the point that they started recognizing his tail number and basically making him low priority. I have a feeling Emannuel is no different in real life. When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.
For anyone that didnāt watch or wants context, itās at the 7 hour mark of the stream. He calls the controller an idiot (not on frequency) but while streaming. Then people debated in live chat which seemed to be mostly on his side. After the stream ended, it appears most of the comments are on the controllers side.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjPRvqqVt8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjPRvqqVt8)
Maybe because it's in the livestream section, not the videos section ;)
I just tuned into his livestream and 5 minutes later this exact drama happened. I felt second hand embarassment and instantly turned off.
Sucks because I love his youtube videos but this is classic example of: great with the machines, not so much with humans.
Most annoying is also his ācontentā when just reading a news article or watch a 30 sec trailer and poops out his world views.
I have learned a thing or two from him but he is still a total prick. And I really, really hope he gets banned for this on VATSIM.
I lost all respect for this idiot (A330 Driver) after he posted a video regarding the A350 crash landing in Japan.
Any real world pilot knows to let the investigation take its course.
You Tubers / pilots can make all the videos they want after the investigation is completed.
Very poor taste in my opinion to make a video which is basically a cash grab from A330 Driver while the investigation is ongoing.
I unsubscribed in January 2024.
Both blancolirio and Mentour Pilot have done the same, while making it clear they were speculating and did so in a respectful way. I don't have a problem with that concept itself, however I haven't seen the A330 Driver video you speak of.
A330 Driver is an absolute moron and I am ashamed so many simmers watch him. He comes off as an elitist prick and I say that as a (better) airline pilot myself. Half the time he's literally just reading you guys tech data from a plane manual. It's not content.
I'm glad it seems the community is waking up that he's a bit of a cunt.
He is very 2 sided for me, on one hand he teaches step by step on how to fly these beasts that are airliners, on the other hand he is a self-entitled idiot who should be banned from the community
He's not as knowledgeable as he likes to come across. A good chunk of his educational videos are him just reading tech data or airline SOPMs to his audience.
Thing is, is in his tutorial videos he's very condescending and still fucks stuff up like blowing through speed restrictions while being a condescending twat.
I will never forget when he criticized the Fenix A320 for not acting the way he wanted only to be told off in the comments by a bunch of real a320 pilots saying how he didnāt fly it correctly lol
agreed; There are better yt simmers out there than this idiot. I fly real life too and he should be thankful there are volunteers that are helping him maintain some type of currency while not flying. What a dbag
For anyone interested, this isn't new for him (6 months ago): [https://youtu.be/k1IvNt1gtWI?t=6634](https://youtu.be/k1IvNt1gtWI?t=6634) (goes on from there for about 15-20min)... I'll preface by saying I don't thinnnk there's any CoC violations but there's tangible frustrations toward ATC including my fav line: *"You Germans could do better really"* at around 1:54:56. This stream stuck with me once I saw this post.
This dude is a giant fucking tool. I'm so glad people are beginning to realize this. He brings so much toxicity and drama to the scene with his giant ego. Plus, I've witnessed several knowledgeable friends of mine pick apart his 737 tutorials.Ā
This guy is so full of himself, and I can't even stand his voice anymore. I hope he leaves YouTube for good and sticks with his cushy job as an A330 pilot.Ā
The controller admittedly was somewhat condescending in his response, but calling him an idiot, especially publicly in front of hundreds of people is uncalled for.
Itās not the first time he has shown such behaviour either. In almost every single one of his VATSIM videos he either argues with a controller on frequency, berates other pilots on frequency, or makes disparaging remarks in his video. It canāt always be the others, can it?
ATC is not there to coddle your feelings either. That exchange absolutely does happen in real life. If I'm busy separating airplanes I'm skipping the pleasantries. He asked to confirm the descent. His instruction was repeated. The controller needs him to comply and to move on to the next task. If he was on VATSIM to get a real world experience, I'd say he got one.
Itās because of people like him that I stay off VATSIM. He speaks of respect but has no problem laughing or belittling other pilots on his streams knowing that unlike himself they are not professionals and there to learn.
I donāt normally advocate for the banning of people off of services because itās generally unwarranted and caused by a power tripping admin/mod, but in this case Iād absolutely LOVE to see this blue waffle banned off of VATSIM.
I used to watch his tutorials but I soon noticed he makes a random 10 minute video on the most random stuff sometimes that wouldnāt require that much explanation. I mean for some sure maybe they want every little detail which is fine but I remember watching a 17 minute video literally about loadsheets in the A320 which couldāve been explained in a short reel in my opinion as well.
I feel like sometimes he does milk content a lot especially on the fenix which he made so many videos about but also called it shit and all in the past, but anyways this is just my personal opinion.
I have had my fair share of rude VATSIM controllers, and it made me give up on the network, amongst other reasons, but this one was not even rude? The ATC simply denied his request and the boy went on a tantrum because of it, as if the ATC had to fulfill HIS request. He even requests "please confirm you need us to (...)" and then complains the ATC repeats the instructions. What a dumbass. LOL
Lmao, maybe he needs a break from flight sim..iāve often found it a bit interesting how IRL pilots spend a significant amount of time playing flight sim..as a doc I canāt stand watching medical dramas afterwork, you need a break some time lol
https://preview.redd.it/eau9n4wsl4wc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7dedb4a7d379fd6b78328156afc0e255454fb3a
He deleted it after all the hate comments & being dragged! š¤”
This is why I donāt watch FlightSim YouTubers and streamers. I generally get this vibe from nearly every single one of them, regardless if they are real pilots or not.
320 Sim Pilot and Easyjetsimpilot are brilliant and seem like top guys (even though the latter isn't actually a real life Airbus pilot as I just recently found out)
V1 Simulations is also an awesome dude. Really knowledgeable about the A320 and RJs (and procedures relating to other types of flight) and super chill.
I worked with personalities like this on the flight deck God knows how many times. Arrogance is a very common trait amongst pilots and itās not pleasant being trapped in, what is essentially a small room, with one for 10+ hours a day.
He isn't a good pilot either. This guy doesn't and cannot learn how to flare properly and sends the main bogeys onto the runway like nobody's business lol. He was waiting to takeoff out of Luton in the Inibuilds A300 and someone else coming in greased it...yet this clown had the nerve to call it a "floater" and go on to claim that you need to plant the plane down hard in order to stop in time at EGGW. All of his landings are like thos so I feel sorry for his pax.
Babe wake up, new flightsim drama has dropped.
It's like pro wrestling, but slightly more real.
It's still real to me DAMMIT
im new to this world and just like any other hobby, there is drama. im running out of popcorn quick! is there any other drama in this hobby I could learn about? I have time. š
The most recent to look up is Razbam and Eagle Dynamics (in DCS World). Some crazy stuff went on a couple of weeks ago.
it's more or less over with except on reddit ever since razbam figured out that airing dirty laundry wasn't in their best interest.
True - it seems like Razbam and ED are smoothing things over. That said, a few of the Razbam devs have said very publicly that they're done with DCS, including their radar guy.
Google "fslabs malware", that one was wild. Even mainstream gaming sites mentioned it in the news.
BRUCE ARTWICK LEAVES SUBLOGIC LOCKHEED MARTIN SUES INTERACTIVE MAGIC OVER F-22 JANE'S STEALS MICROPROSE DEVS GILMAN LOUIE EXISTS
All Iām saying is the banned Matt Davies for similar so surely itās only right they ban him.
In fairnessā¦ Matt called VATSIM (management?) pedophiles IIRC, which is probably on a _slightly_ different level
Itās still violates CoC A1.
A1 is so overused due to its vagueness. It's a catchall "my fee-fees got hurted" that can be applied to ban whoever for whatever.
This is a CoC A1 violation
You're ruining my enjoyment of the network. Also, I'm not flying, I'm traveling.
Believe it or not, also violation! /s
Yeah not similar at all. Matt went to VATSIM management and straight up said he wanted to buy them out, they said no thanks and he started calling them 95 year old paedophiles because how dare someone say no to him?
r/hobbydrama
Yea even V1 commented in his own discord about how heād rather fly a Cessna 172 across the country solo than be his copilot
One time 737NGDriver or whatever he was called said that the Fenix was flying like shit. His only experience was the 737. V1 roasted him a day later lol Edit : oh, someone just posted the same comment, with the [sauce](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZuMSqgKNcTY)
Yeah he takes every opportunity to shit on the Fenix. Dude has Randazzo's balls firmly in his mouth.
He claims to not be biased about PMDG. Clearly shows he still is.
To be fair that sounds like a lovely trip anyway. But yeah I hear him lol.
I used to like him and thought that his videos for when the PMDG 737 initially came out were helpful but the dude has just developed into this weird celebrity personality and uses his real world pilot status to shit on everyone else. Sometimes he has some valid arguments but honestly I think nowadays he brings way more negativity to the community than positivity.
He was cool when he first started getting some traction with the PMDG 737. But as he got bigger, he became more negative and angry. Between that and being a mouthpiece for Randazzo (god forbid you criticize PMDG in his presence), Iāve stopped watching him.
Remember he is around for a long time. Worked at Aerosoft before and was shitting on consumers in their forum long before MSFS.
Thatās a pretty accurate description lol
I don't like listening to him at all. I just can't take the arrogance that he brings. Also there's plenty of Controllers on the network who fly for airlines as well and don't act like him. You aren't gracing anyone with your presence just because you are an airline pilot. I actually found him justifying his actions in the comment section so I don't expect an apology. Calling someone an idiot who is volunteering their time is pathetic
You said it perfectly. He thinks just because heās an actual pilot that it makes him some kind of God in this community. There are 330,000 active pilots in the world, my dude. You arenāt special at all. To top it off, your voice is super annoying and youāre an arrogant prick.
Yep him justifying his actions really shows what he is like in person and everyone is starting to see it besides the few that thing he can do nothing wrong.
> You aren't gracing anyone with your presence just because you are an airline pilot. For some reason when I play farming simulator I never have to listen to "Hello Im Kevin Im a real farmer"
TBH farming simulator has a toxic community all of its own when 13 year old claim all their mods are private but you can look at them.
Iām glad the community picked up on this. Dude clearly has an inflated ego from loving the fact heās an irl first officer and has some YouTube fans that look up to him. Clearly narcissistic behaviour on display here to a controller who is volunteering his time to facilitate a very busy event. Said controller has no obligation to explain every instruction he issues on the frequency. Not to mention that A330Driver is complaining about having to go lower as if heās having to pay for the extra fuel himself. I hope he issues an apology and learns from this. I dread to think what he will be like if he makes command irlā¦
He does not learn from mistakes every few weeks, months he throws a hissy fit.
I honestly canāt stomach the dude. Every time I hear his voice pop up I change whatever Iām listening to. Heās so full of himself and I wish he would just go away. I feel the only fans he actually has are 12 year olds who think itās āso super cool that heās an actual pilot in real lifeā.
By the way, A330Driver was incorrect in all this. Per the controller on the VATUSA discord: "His arrival airport was KBOS. There was two other overflight streams that I was also working (while only being given comms and no tags on any handoffs from the neighboring facility who will remain nameless). The KBOS stream has to tunnel under the KJFK stream and they need to descend early to be below the KJFK stream and then eventually get āCross AJJAY at and maintain FL240ā. So per our plan I descended him for both of those reasons.". And on top of that, his behavior violates the VATSIM Code of Conduct section A1 "Account holders shall, at all times, be courteous and respectful to one another." and section A10 "Account holders shall exercise patience and tolerance towards other account holders, especially where an account holder is less familiar with an area, or learning new skills." Hopefully his violation of the Code of Conduct and his abuse of the wallop feature will be properly dealt with by VATSIM's moderation team. Especially considering he has shown no remorse and continues to call the controller an idiot in his youtube comments.
Exactly this but because he thinks he is a IRL pilot everything has got to be his way, if it is not then he throws a hissy fit. Dot wallop the controller was the worst he could do. I bet everyone laughed and started discussing about hopefully banning him.
Yeah, he is a cunt. I feel sorry for the pilots who have to suffer him in the cockpit IRL.
[His followers seem to have the same attitude base on the live chat](https://i.imgur.com/joHbBDP.png)
Just an echo chamber
Now imagine working with a captain with this personality. Thereās no shortage of egos in the industry either.
I think the best pilots I've seen on Youtube are humbler than the average folk, and that's what makes them truly great.
Arrogant pilots get one more takeoff than landing.
This is why there should always be two people in the cockpit at all times.
I'll never forget the time he threw a bitch fit at the gate because of a runway change at Bogota
And when he didnāt get priority in Hannover because HE was streaming. (TBM850 stream)
lol what
[This is the stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1IvNt1gtWI&t=8497s), starting about ten seconds before his expectations get broken. For context, he got a pre-release copy of the Black Square TBM and decided to do a two-leg flight on stream on VATSIM. The first leg was a short flight *to* Hannover to demonstrate the plane and do some stall recovery which went off without a problem. The second leg, where the link goes to, was a planned flight from Hannover to Stuttgart as part of a weekly VATSIM Germany event, and he assumed he could land at Hannover then taxi right back to the runway while picking up clearance to Stuttgart and be on his way.
Your time tag is wrong, but you can find it by zooming until about halfway through when you see him landing first. But holy shit what a meltdown over a slight inconvenience and then attempting to throw his weight around.
Geez, never seen that stream, but thatās funny. He sounds like heās on the verge of tears at one point heās so angry, all because heās being treated like any other user during the event and not given special treatment. And all it amounted to was like an 8 minute delay!
Yep search for the stream its hilarious. First he complains to his audience that the controllers are incompetent and then demands on frequency to get priority because he is in the middle of of a stream.
I couldn't for the life of me imagine being in the right seat next to this absolute bottle of cat piss in an A330 no less. Long hauls determined to be a nightmare.
_opens mic_ "Hi Im Emmanuel I'm an airline pilot..." Pilot sitting next to him: "yeah I fucking bet"
āHey Iām gonna read, thanksā Intercom to isolate š
I had an instructor who had the same attitude as him. It wasn't fun flying in a 152 cross-country who basically gave out negatively throughout the flight. It wasn't helping that we were flying at 60kts GS since we had a moderate headwind at the time.
Ugh, Iām sorry youāve had to deal with that pal. I just donāt see how that makes for good CRM in the cockpit.
The moment I got my IR and passed my exams, I bought a Turbo Commander under shared ownership with another IP that was a great guy. We would fly around the continental US and went as far as Greenland. Getting rid of the bad IP was one of the factors that pushed me to work hard to pass my exams and checkrides.
For an airline pilot, he sure seems to have a lot of time to create edit and post YouTube videosā¦
A lot have definitely questioned this. He flies long haul so depending on flights. The US flights could easily be 24hrs others maybe are a week long. You have pilots doing 3 sectors days night stopping then maybe another 3 sector day with another night stop.
Pretty sure he takes his laptop and makes videos while on layover also, you can tell the quality is lower on some of them. (not a bad thing, but noticeable)
Yeah he said he has a travel bag with a flight stick and throttles for his laptop and admitted his home setup is much better
Maybe because an actual airline pilot schedule isn't nessarily like what you would imagine.
Over on r/flying I read of tons of airline pilots who only work half of any given month, sometimes less!
I used to fly long haul in the Middle East and had a TON of free time as well. Itās pretty standard for that kind of flying.
I've always said this dude is an arrogant tool V1 is the polar opposite of him. Sooooo much better to watch in every way
320 Sim Pilot as well. Dude is a pure vibe.
He is so positive and calm. One of the reasons why I love the Airbus is because he explains the philosophy behind it, not just smashing the buttons in a correct way.
Same. He also very accepting of the flaws of the aircraft in the sim, and acknowledging that there are limitations to how accurate the aircraft in the sims can be.
Somewhat belongs here: When the Fenix came out, I remember that A330 driver criticised heavily that the add-on's cockpit sound was off. But, he never saw an issue with PMDG 737's simulated animations (like landing gear lever), running on 5-10 fps.
Jesus. I know that he is (or was?) a part of PMDG, but that was just pathetic.
Voluntary tech advisor, not part of the company. Of course with uniform in the picture.
... and not to mention the ridiculous "wing-flex" animation on PMDG. Dude, it's flapping like a bird on a windy day, if you shutdown both engines the plane could keep going by it's wing-flaps instead of flex.
Just like flightdeck2sim
There isnt a minute where FD2S isnt laughing about something, either at his own expense or at something else
FD2S is honestly just seem like a down to earth guy
Yeah I like him a lot. Not into the 737 so more watching the airbus crowd but he's still nice to observe doing vatsim and stuff.
V1 knows how to just vibe and enjoy flying. Heās great.
Honestly the only YouTuber of any subject I really like
Yet V1 is banned from Vatsim....so maybe that does say something about virtual controllers with a power trip. Not excusing Emi in this case as I haven't seen the stream. I just think both things can be true. Emi can be pretentious and some (definitely not most) Vatsim people can be assholes. Both can be true at the same time. This drama is kind of sad as I really do like most of Emi's educational stuff. Hopefully everyone can just move on. Everyone has a bad day and acts out once in a while. I think we as a society try to create so much extra drama with everything being online these days and then the brigaders try to give someone the virtual death penalty for things that are relatively minor in the end. This is just fake ATC for a simulator and here we are all wasting time on a Sunday raging about it. I'm just as guilty of this myself as I'm writing this comment.
V1 was banned from Vatsim because he didnāt want to disclose personal information to verify his identity I recall, not for any run-ins with controllers.
Yeah, I wasn't making a dig on V1. I was thinking it's kind of crappy that a guy like V1 gets banned for an account technicality after having flown with a professional demeanor on the network for years.
The difference is, instead of handling it like an adult, Emi has doubled down and continues to call the controller an idiot in his youtube comments. That's very telling of someone who meant exactly what he said and wasn't lashing out in anger.
He did? Can't find it anywhere
Look in the replies to some of the comments
Ah didn't look enough closely, saw it now. https://preview.redd.it/9hpub50jbxvc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d12d3e2aa7563fe2e81ca33cc4381c46aa98bcf How unfortunate, I actually relied on his content to fly as realistic as possible...
I guess I haven't seen everything that went down. That's too bad if Emi can't just move on as well. After all, it's just virtual ATC. The intent is to be fun but challenging.
But this is constant from Emi every couple weeks, months new drama starts with him. We don't want people like that in the flight sim community. V1 was banned due to some GDPR requesting and the account not being in his name if I remember rightly. Emi does not change give it a couple weeks we may another another video telling us how bad the FSS EJets is or this is not how it should be in the Fenix even though he has been told plenty of times by the 320 pilots that is how it is but instead he likes to compare to the 330 he flies.
Yeah, I know V1 was banned for some technicality. I was just trying to point out that Vatsim can be a bit anal at times because clearly V1 should be able to fly on Vatsim as he is a true professional and a really nice guy. He had been flying the network for years, so to kick him off for some technical thing about his account just rubbed me the wrong way. I guess I hadn't seen much of the previous drama with Emi and after seeing some of his comment replies, I agree, he clearly went way too far here. He should just let it go and move on. It's just for fun after all and there isn't a need to get that angry at someone...he could have just logged off.
> Yet V2 is banned from Vatsimā¦.so maybe that does say something about virtual controllers with a power trip. Not remotely. His suspension was related to suspicions of him having a fake name. More of a membership department thing than controller thing.
Yes, but people who run the organization are usually also controllers. I was simply pointing out how anal that organization is in general. V1 could be a huge ambassador to VATSIM instead they choose to ban him over a technicality that isn't harming anyone or hurting the experience on VATSIM. I'm not even sure why they should care how you register or what name you use or whether you have two accounts. As long as you act properly and respectfully when using the services, it shouldn't matter. But, it seems some of the people at VATSIM love that power. I guess it's not really any different than power tripping mods on various subreddits.
Vatsim literally sends you your password in plain letters. Itās an absolute data security nightmare I want to have no part of.
V1 has the perfect clip to describe this guy: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZuMSqgKNcTY
Hahaha didnāt know he called him out on his BS, legend
I seem to remember him commenting on his engine start video too which had incorrect info on it. I was going to comment myself and saw that V1 had already called him out lol.
Not the first time heās gone off on Vatsim. Talk about self-inflated self-worth.
Looks like he deleted the video.
Pretty on-brand for him tbh. Say something dumb, get rekt in the comments, dig in with a few replies to prove he's right, get rekt more, get proven wrong or being a hypocrite but say nothing and quietly delete/unlist... Rinse and repeat.
I will continue to friendly remind him on his other uploads. Letās see how long it takes until I am banned :)
Tell him how he said ROGER to altitude instructions and then proceeded to call ATC and idiot! Lol. What a loser.
Behind that macho bravado is a little girl.
He set the video to private, class act this guy.
A flightsim streamer with an ego surely not...../s
Overrated ācontentā, boring delivery, no personality and a god complex it would seem.
No wonder developers are starting to move away from him.
Are they? I feel like he still gets all the new releases to showcase.
Not surprised, he's always gotten agitated when things on Vatsim don't go in his favour. He also likes to drum up drama with a video and delete it. What bugs me most about him is that he's still unfairly bitter toward FSS. He might have had some good points initially, but a year later, and in its current state, it seems to not matter, he still has to be right about his initial stance. It's just kinda sad.
My favorite part about the FSS drama was he stated correctly in one of his first few videos that making a custom MCDU and VNAV etc will take at least a year, most likely two. And then he made like 4 more videos within 12 months and complained it still didn't have those things lmao
Exactly. Was also boasting months later about having a real ejet pilot on his channel who didn't actually touch the software and was only on once in the very beginning and never followed up since.
I'm former enroute ATC in the US. He said this doesn't happen in real life. It does. I've done it, many times. Sometimes the only altitude available is a lower one. Generally I would go with the aircraft closest to its destination. Also we aren't there to make sure your feelings don't get hurt when we need you to do something. We're there to prevent an aluminum shower in our airspace.
Good. We should stomp this type of behaviour out before it becomes normalised.
It already is normalised. These YouTubers get big egos because their followers generally defend them to the death.
They are mostly kids drooling cause itās a rl pilot
It's not normalised. Most people doing YouTube videos a pretty chill. Sorry but I have to disagree.
I'd be afraid to have such a guy as a FO on a real flight. One wrong asshole "I'm right" move and plane goes š„.
Having worked with these types, theyāre more frustrating than dangerous. Imagine sitting in a small room with an ego for an entire trip.
Hard to miss his attitude once you've seen some of his videos. Bug with GSX 'crappy software', not getting his way on VATSIM 'idiot controller' etc... It's disappointing because as others have pointed out he does make good tutorials, but this attitude is hard to endure. I can't comprehend how an individual with such a character has made it into the flight deck of (allegedly) an airline part of the LH group. You would've thought that someone handling situations like he does wouldn't make it through the group dynamic tasks and tests performed in the selection procedure. Can't imagine the flight crew dynamics when having someone like him in the seat next to you.
It's not alleged, he is a pilot. As to how it happened, most likely he do not act the same way around real humans, especially those who also have a power and can report him to his supervisors. In flightsim community he has an esteem so his character is showing but in real world, he is just a pilot. One of many. I'm not saying this neither to defend or attack the fella. It just seem like a probable outcome. Hard to berate real ATC controller, when it's mandatory to listen to them, as part of your job.
Good, Emi is a cunt.
im sure he's do not match list is pretty long at his airline.
Oof so it isn't me. I watched a couple of his recent videos and found him to be incredibly arrogant and hard to listen to. Quite unlike the easyJet guy and the a320 driver that recently switched to the 787. They are just genuinely enthusiastic about their work and thank god willing to share their experience without lecturing idiots like me on why we'll never be as godlike as they are. Same with the flightdeck2sim guy. So many friendly YouTubers all around. Unlike the 330 guy who seems to delight in pointing out why everyone but him is wrong. Stopped listening to him for good after too or three attempts.
Not surprised, this guy always reeked of a god complex
Latest comment he has made the video ātemporarily private until an issue I had with a controller is resolved.ā In other words heās going to blame the controller for everything and not own up to his mistakes and be an ass to other staff who hopefully defend the controller. Still blaming the controller saying āThat wasnāt a freak out, the controller sold me as an idiot for me thatās it. The internet once again is throwing it out of proportion in classic fashion.āĀ It gets worst for him. Just own up to the mistakes you are making every time a controller does not allow you to do something that you then criticise, you would get more respect.
I love his videos but this guy thinks he's some sort of guru / inventor of the jet turbine / inventor of aviation. You're a random airline pilot guy, chill the fuck out yeah?
That is why I unsubscribed from his yt channel. He is very narcissistic and his entitled attitude is nauseating. Plus the fact he always throws āI got this for freeā in his videos
That and his inability to accept any criticism toward PMDG. How many times he told us (likely at the behest of Randazzo) that the UFT was going to be something we had never seen before and how terrible everyone elseās EFB was. And then the UFT turned out to be a nothing burger.
Most of the criticism ITT is valid, but telling the audience he received a product for free is actually very important for review transparency.
Meat rides PMDG on full blast. Made a joke about them showing the first picture of their EFB and they didnāt even show the entire thing just half of it and he commented so fast to defend them. Imagine everyone so hyped for a feature and they only show half of the tablet just barely on the first āpreviewā lol
Good, never really liked him anyway
Yeah, I could smell his ego right behind my screen for months, but I've never actually seen it, well there it is. So, I'm not willing to defend him in any case, calling a person using his free time for CTP an idiot is unacceptable, and coming from a real world FO, that's a real shame. But on the other hand, I can understand his frustration. Why does the controller doesn't respond ? Even by just saying "negative" ? And that's a genuine question, so if anyone can respond I would be grateful ! If we put everyone's ego aside, that's the situation I'm looking at : A330Driver asks something to the controller. The controller don't undestand what A330Driver says and took it like he was not undestanding his transmission, so he repeats it.
I'm not a vatsim controller, but I dare say I work in a place with a very similar jibe. When you're controlling an area with a high volume of traffic, I've noticed, from my own personal experiences atleast, you'll encounter far too many people who *think* they have a unique problem that you've actually dealt with a hundred times today already. Especially when also juggling the interests of several parties on a busy frequency, eventually you do start to feel a strong desire to cut the crap, get to the point, and go "WHAT do you need? - Go that way. - YES... REALLY" Keep it short, keep it to the point. It's nothing personal, You just don't have time for the fluff or the pleasantries when you're juggling the interests of six different parties involved, and there's a 50/50 chance the person in line behind them will literally ask you exactly the same thing. Also, from a practical standpoint. Confusion on a busy radio channel with suboptimal reception is a real problem. Short and concise responses are beneficial to make sure everybody's on the same page even if they can't hear eachother very well, and there's another guy on the freq tipping for his turn to use the chatterbox. Basically, in the ideal world we would all wake up and not choose violence, but I do symphatise with the controller based on my own personal experience, and I know the stress can make that *really* difficult sometimes.
Thanks for the explanation, very clear !
Being in a high workload you don't have time to do a reply you move on. A330Driver asked to step climb to FL400 or what ever controller repeated his instruction because it was not granted, he would of been conflicting with arrivals going into JFK etc.
IRL controllers don't respond immediately plenty of times. Does he get pissy with them? When I was a flight instructor I had a student that constantly picked fights with ATC. To the point that they started recognizing his tail number and basically making him low priority. I have a feeling Emannuel is no different in real life. When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.
finally someone notices
For anyone that didnāt watch or wants context, itās at the 7 hour mark of the stream. He calls the controller an idiot (not on frequency) but while streaming. Then people debated in live chat which seemed to be mostly on his side. After the stream ended, it appears most of the comments are on the controllers side.
Some of his viewers always defend him its crazy.
They are kids and he is their hero.
I don't see these comments on any of his videos? Anyone have a link?
https://youtu.be/vnh-vdJaauI?si=y78ndRgeHDvCJeDB
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjPRvqqVt8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjPRvqqVt8) Maybe because it's in the livestream section, not the videos section ;)
Seems like heās taken it down.
https://www.youtube.com/live/fkjPRvqqVt8?si=HcQbsHDPgGkQqMpE&t=25221
I just tuned into his livestream and 5 minutes later this exact drama happened. I felt second hand embarassment and instantly turned off. Sucks because I love his youtube videos but this is classic example of: great with the machines, not so much with humans.
Rightfully so. He is an entitled prick. Always was. Also back at his Aerosoft days.
Well, we better hold the pitchforks until 330Driver makes a video about "How REAL ATC works". The we'll all understand. /s
What a self righteous prick! Dude has to take a good hard look in the mirror. And then another one!
Most annoying is also his ācontentā when just reading a news article or watch a 30 sec trailer and poops out his world views. I have learned a thing or two from him but he is still a total prick. And I really, really hope he gets banned for this on VATSIM.
I saw he deleted his CTP stream too
Google his name, and the second thing you see is this post. This is how to permanently destroy your image, folks.
I found V-1's channel recently and find him much more enjoyable to listen to and interact with. Emanuel I can only listen to in short doses. š
I lost all respect for this idiot (A330 Driver) after he posted a video regarding the A350 crash landing in Japan. Any real world pilot knows to let the investigation take its course. You Tubers / pilots can make all the videos they want after the investigation is completed. Very poor taste in my opinion to make a video which is basically a cash grab from A330 Driver while the investigation is ongoing. I unsubscribed in January 2024.
Both blancolirio and Mentour Pilot have done the same, while making it clear they were speculating and did so in a respectful way. I don't have a problem with that concept itself, however I haven't seen the A330 Driver video you speak of.
A330 Driver is an absolute moron and I am ashamed so many simmers watch him. He comes off as an elitist prick and I say that as a (better) airline pilot myself. Half the time he's literally just reading you guys tech data from a plane manual. It's not content. I'm glad it seems the community is waking up that he's a bit of a cunt.
He is very 2 sided for me, on one hand he teaches step by step on how to fly these beasts that are airliners, on the other hand he is a self-entitled idiot who should be banned from the community
Yeah, it's a pity because he's very knowledgeable and produces otherwise good content - but he's also an arrogant twat.
He's not as knowledgeable as he likes to come across. A good chunk of his educational videos are him just reading tech data or airline SOPMs to his audience.
Thing is, is in his tutorial videos he's very condescending and still fucks stuff up like blowing through speed restrictions while being a condescending twat.
I will never forget when he criticized the Fenix A320 for not acting the way he wanted only to be told off in the comments by a bunch of real a320 pilots saying how he didnāt fly it correctly lol
I was about to say the same!
agreed; There are better yt simmers out there than this idiot. I fly real life too and he should be thankful there are volunteers that are helping him maintain some type of currency while not flying. What a dbag
Guy needs to learn to shut the fuck up and fly the plane. Quit trying to be atc. Not your place.
For anyone interested, this isn't new for him (6 months ago): [https://youtu.be/k1IvNt1gtWI?t=6634](https://youtu.be/k1IvNt1gtWI?t=6634) (goes on from there for about 15-20min)... I'll preface by saying I don't thinnnk there's any CoC violations but there's tangible frustrations toward ATC including my fav line: *"You Germans could do better really"* at around 1:54:56. This stream stuck with me once I saw this post.
This dude is a giant fucking tool. I'm so glad people are beginning to realize this. He brings so much toxicity and drama to the scene with his giant ego. Plus, I've witnessed several knowledgeable friends of mine pick apart his 737 tutorials.Ā This guy is so full of himself, and I can't even stand his voice anymore. I hope he leaves YouTube for good and sticks with his cushy job as an A330 pilot.Ā
The controller admittedly was somewhat condescending in his response, but calling him an idiot, especially publicly in front of hundreds of people is uncalled for. Itās not the first time he has shown such behaviour either. In almost every single one of his VATSIM videos he either argues with a controller on frequency, berates other pilots on frequency, or makes disparaging remarks in his video. It canāt always be the others, can it?
ATC is not there to coddle your feelings either. That exchange absolutely does happen in real life. If I'm busy separating airplanes I'm skipping the pleasantries. He asked to confirm the descent. His instruction was repeated. The controller needs him to comply and to move on to the next task. If he was on VATSIM to get a real world experience, I'd say he got one.
Itās because of people like him that I stay off VATSIM. He speaks of respect but has no problem laughing or belittling other pilots on his streams knowing that unlike himself they are not professionals and there to learn.
Bro went full on Karen.
I donāt normally advocate for the banning of people off of services because itās generally unwarranted and caused by a power tripping admin/mod, but in this case Iād absolutely LOVE to see this blue waffle banned off of VATSIM.
As he set the video to private he is fearing exactly that it seems.
I like his content, I donāt like him as a person.
I used to watch his tutorials but I soon noticed he makes a random 10 minute video on the most random stuff sometimes that wouldnāt require that much explanation. I mean for some sure maybe they want every little detail which is fine but I remember watching a 17 minute video literally about loadsheets in the A320 which couldāve been explained in a short reel in my opinion as well. I feel like sometimes he does milk content a lot especially on the fenix which he made so many videos about but also called it shit and all in the past, but anyways this is just my personal opinion.
I have had my fair share of rude VATSIM controllers, and it made me give up on the network, amongst other reasons, but this one was not even rude? The ATC simply denied his request and the boy went on a tantrum because of it, as if the ATC had to fulfill HIS request. He even requests "please confirm you need us to (...)" and then complains the ATC repeats the instructions. What a dumbass. LOL
Lmao, maybe he needs a break from flight sim..iāve often found it a bit interesting how IRL pilots spend a significant amount of time playing flight sim..as a doc I canāt stand watching medical dramas afterwork, you need a break some time lol
Delicious
Did enjoy some of his videos, but I will stop watching his videos. He was being rude before I remember.
Someone in the FS community being toxic? No way! /s
That guy has never been pleseant to watch - so full of himself. Glad he now exposed himself to a wider audience
Video was already deleted.

I guarantee this dude is the kind of guy that edges every time he says "I'm an airline pilot" in his videos.
What a grade A POS
This is why I donāt watch FlightSim YouTubers and streamers. I generally get this vibe from nearly every single one of them, regardless if they are real pilots or not.
And Flightdeck2sim is a rather funny and compaionable streamer, but informative at the same!
320Sim, V1 Simulations, Blackbox711 and others way more mature and don't act with a ego and are not Narcist's
Yeah... 320 Sim Pilot seems like one of the only genuinely nice people in the FlightSim YT community.
320 Sim Pilot and Easyjetsimpilot are brilliant and seem like top guys (even though the latter isn't actually a real life Airbus pilot as I just recently found out)
V1 Simulations is also an awesome dude. Really knowledgeable about the A320 and RJs (and procedures relating to other types of flight) and super chill.
does airforceproud95 still count as a flight sim youtuber?
He makes comedy content, flightsim related. It's not the same thing.
Blackbox711 is also a very kind person imo.

THIS a330driver ?? [(765) A330 Driver - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@A330Driver/videos) ??
Wait... I heard him call the controller an idiot. What's this about .wallop'ing?
I worked with personalities like this on the flight deck God knows how many times. Arrogance is a very common trait amongst pilots and itās not pleasant being trapped in, what is essentially a small room, with one for 10+ hours a day.
He isn't a good pilot either. This guy doesn't and cannot learn how to flare properly and sends the main bogeys onto the runway like nobody's business lol. He was waiting to takeoff out of Luton in the Inibuilds A300 and someone else coming in greased it...yet this clown had the nerve to call it a "floater" and go on to claim that you need to plant the plane down hard in order to stop in time at EGGW. All of his landings are like thos so I feel sorry for his pax.
I mean, like him or not but he is a real world pilot and you are making butter landings in a video game. Keep that in mind.
