It is cool. And really makes me want to buy a GoPro. I almost did yesterday but was put off by the sticker shock. The thing would probably get me in trouble anyway. Something bothers me about another video by the same pilot. In it (I can't find it so no link) he really swings the stick around too much. It's completely uneccessary. When I was a check airman on the 320 we used to call that "stirring the pot". There is a scene where the pilot is doing one of his Rio tours and I swear he's moving the stick so much that I am convinced that his hand is showing off for the camera. Meanwhile the FCS is ignoring half the inputs while whistling the Marseillaise.

Yeah Smokin_Hole..that was the famous "Sail" video. Cool video, music, and scenery. I'm not an Airbus pilot, but I thought the plane would stay in whatever commanded attitude you selected..so I too was wondering about that "stirring the pot" on some of his approaches..

Just noticed in the Sail video that none of the pilots are holding their hands on the power levers during takeoff. I thought this was standard procedure, to be ready for immediate action if something should happen. Or maybe it's just good airmanship and they're not practicing it biggrin

Love the Sail video. I am flying the Just Flight A320 almost exclusively at the moment with Accu-Feel and REX and having a lot of fun. Don't do as much stick stirring though!

Great videos. Being 'new' (last time I sim flew a civvy machine was um...1986/7 with the first MFS) and having decided on FSX the videos were inspiring. Currently trialling FS Passenger and flying out of San Fran having a blast.
