Looks like he's doing shorter videos now. The quality seem nicer too, in 4k even.

Thanks for pointing out these new videos. Really excellent stuff by a new voice. Much appreciated.

Emi is only a new voice in terms of posting vids...he's a long time simmer and now real 737 pilot....very nice guy and one of my go-to's when I have a 737 question during beta testing to determine if its my grossly inferior knowledge of this awesome plane or a real bug I need to report. 🙂

I painted this one for him by request...you guys will have it too on release. 😉

Very beautiful dawn departure out of EDDF

And he's requested this one too....its in the queue. (shhh...but don't tell him...he'll start bugging me about it and want me to put it at the front of the list, LOL)....we want him focusing on testing and creating great vids for you guys. 🙂

Hehe....I didn't even check to see if they are still flying....just got the request from Emi and started painting.  I have my paint listed as 2018 as the livery existed back then...don't see too many pics of Germania after that.  Guess they stopped (or merged) after that?  I didn't do as extensive research on this paint as I normally do.

A bit of second (third?) hand info here but I asked Fabio if he thought the wing flex was overdone and he said he had a 737 pilot on the stream the day before and he said it didn't look that way to him.

The wingflex animation itself is not overdone, it actually looked very similar the last time I sat at the wing as a passenger (not quite as rigid, yes, but not far off), but it happens all the time in MSFS, which it doesn't in real life. So it's more like the number of wingflex-situations is too high, which I guess is MSFS's fault (bad turbulence modelling).

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

That.

IMO, the turbulence in MSFS borders on the ridiculous when in typical weather, and if it were like that in the real world, we should all be buying stock in the company that makes air sickness bags! 🤣

Sure, you can have turbulence that bad in some weather, but just like rainbows and lightning, Asobo seems to feel more is better (not necessarily realistic).  The PMDG wingflex is modeled well...its the whacky environment its flying in.  Once Asobo sorts that out, we'll see more realistic movement in turbulence.

Germania went bankrupt and ceased operations in February 2019.

Thanks....well...she'll live on forever in flightsim! 🙂 

Meanwhile...I was walking past the paint hangar last evening and had to do a double take to see what they were spraying!
