Nope not at all. But nice try. I thought I would just share this because some wanna be big time streamer was ranting about this video in one of his streams because this is his job and pays his bills. If not for his rant I would not even know this video existed. Lastly I do now own this video LMAO.

it wasn't directed at you jbdb-md80, i was referring to the person making the video

We should also remember ( not talking about myself here) that there are numerous real world pilots who are also flight sim enthusiasts on this very forum. And they quite often fly the actual aircraft being discussed, be that a Cessna 152 or a 747.

However because their comments aren’t presented in a show biz style YouTube video they don’t seem to carry the same weight somehow.

My personal favourite on YouTube is avangel, she buys her own aircraft, is very humble,gives an honest review from a slightly different angle, and most importantly always makes me laugh, in one way or another.

I’ve watched some YouTube stuff from other reviewers delivered with with such authority that in some cases is absolute nonsense to anyone who A) actually flies or B)has taken the time to actually read the product documentation.

My own personal standpoint when talking about products on these forums is usually limited to talking about positive things I’ve enjoyed. There’s a few things that I think are rubbish but I’ll keep that thought to myself because at the end of the day someone has put a lot of work into it. 

When will we get a jon b 747/787 stream for MSFS?!?  hehe

I try to remember who flies what on this forum so I know who to trust when the addons aren't working (usually it's just pebkac on my end!)

I'm glad to see this has been a fun thread.  🙂

These days a reddit review will probably provide a more honest response with only a fraction of our live's wasted compared to the tube
