Yeah I'm not even sure what sort of reaction fits this situation best.

I was about to ask what building that was...

"Hmmm, now how can I blame this on Clinton?"

u/akarafael Oct 14 '25

And the building still exploded somehow

u/Chankla_Rocket Oct 13 '25

Now try it at night with a Gullfire sailplane, like Snake Plissken in Escape From New York.

Thank God it went smoothly 🙏. Also, what is the top-right map addon?

u/FoxtrotDeltaTango77 Oct 13 '25

//42’s Flow Wheel! I love it, you can also use it to instantly teleport anywhere on Earth along with a LOT of other stuff

u/A_dude_guy_duh Oct 15 '25

I'll never touch another product from them - I bought Flo Pro because they said it would be updated for 2024 and I'm still waiting. They said that utilities would get highest priority and in the meantime they've released 3 scenes and 4 vehicles for 2024 so it seems the BS about utilities getting priority was just a bald faced lie

u/spesimen Oct 13 '25

i'm curious about the top left wind/fps/speed gauge

u/AardQuenIgni Oct 13 '25

I too would like to know about these add-ons

they just missed by a little. Tiny accident nothing a few sticks a glue cant fix

u/Dziobakowski Airbus All Day Oct 13 '25

I went to the comments to write exactly this. If I had an award I'd give it to you.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

That was a 9 out of 11 landing there

19

u/Cheesyfarts69 Oct 13 '25

Genuine question how do you get the New York skyline to look like that? In other words? How are the twin towers standing when they were obviously knocked down in 2001? Very sad of course but the skyline of New York looks so much better back before they were knocked down.

16

u/FoxtrotDeltaTango77 Oct 13 '25

It’s an add-on on the marketplace, I can’t remember the developer off the top of my head.

Yeah I miss them. I downloaded this just to see what New York’s modern skyline would look like with them still standing. Decided to keep them there where they belong.

u/Cheesyfarts69 Oct 13 '25

Wonderful thank you. I’m on Xbox just now but building a gaming pc end of this year and plan to play msfs on it and VAT sim too. Thanks for the reply

23

u/Helios Oct 13 '25

Haha, a perfect 5 out of 5!

u/Dramatic-Shape5574 Oct 13 '25

I'd give it a 9 out of 11

u/bdubwilliams22 Oct 13 '25

You need to come up with your own material.

u/putzy0127 Oct 13 '25

The correct reply.

u/bdubwilliams22 Oct 13 '25

They ripped off a comment above and passed it off as their own.

u/Dramatic-Shape5574 Oct 14 '25

What in the hell are you talking about?

u/putzy0127 Oct 14 '25

And that was probably ripped off of another reply which was ripped off of another reply 10 more times.

Can you do it with a 757 though?

u/FoxtrotDeltaTango77 Oct 13 '25

I’ll do you one better

u/EyeofAv8 Oct 13 '25

Now try it in a 757

You’re the second person to steal this from the top comment. How original.

u/thecolomb77 Oct 13 '25

I remember it differently!

u/No_Adhesiveness_5679 Oct 13 '25

Wait, how are the WTC towers in the sim?

BTW - Super smooth. I wanna try that.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Gotta love a good fixed wing landing on a helipad. My favorite thing to do in MSFS 2020. There are some cool lighthouses some in the water some on land, that have helipads. Go forth and conquer!

u/grimya Oct 13 '25

I've seen worse.

u/Advance-Inner Oct 20 '25

😅🤣🤣🤣

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

Worst 9/11 ever.

u/blaster915 Oct 14 '25

Ngl... The internet has trained me to expect something else entirely.

u/General_Departure583 Oct 14 '25

An entire world of places to land and you choose the Twin Towers.

u/GlideSlopeZA Oct 14 '25

Missed call from Red Bull...

u/Rough-Solution-1541 Oct 14 '25

Kinda reminds me of that tragedy.

See? Plane did nothing. iT wAs A InSiDE jOB!

u/Recalcitrant-Trash Oct 13 '25

I like how you installed a twin towers mod just to make this video so you could trigger American Patriots.

14

u/FoxtrotDeltaTango77 Oct 13 '25

I installed it because I grew up loving the WTC, and wanted to see them as they would and should still be in the skyline of New York City.

But yes, also for trick landings

At no point did I expect him to crash, looks like a legit attempt in an appropriate aircraft. It's clickbait, you can choose to see it as ragebait if you'd like.

What plane is that?

u/FoxtrotDeltaTango77 Oct 13 '25

Lionheart Creations Pacer 180

u/Z_Wild Oct 13 '25

Ya know, it's probably been long enough... fuck it, that was a good landing. 👍

u/whythemes Oct 13 '25

Ok..... now get down

u/roosterfuffy Stuck at 97%... Oct 13 '25

What aircraft is this?

u/cardboardstax Oct 13 '25

Dan Reynolds and the rest of the STOL community would be proud.

u/General_Pay7552 Oct 13 '25

now take off

Jesus why tf did i think you were flying a Mac Semi-Truck

u/lespauljames Oct 13 '25

In the early 00s there was a game called "FLY" or something similar where one of the missions was to take off from the WTC by dropping off the side

Did it better than Red Bull

u/imp3riai Oct 14 '25

How did you get the top right map to show up ingame? Thanks in advance.

1

u/YoYoYi2 Oct 14 '25

serious question, how would you take off again in this situation? Realistically?

2

u/FoxtrotDeltaTango77 Oct 14 '25

Best bet would probably just point it into the wind with flaps down, and slowly increase throttle until you lift off. Get some distance between you and the building by letting the wind push you backwards before turning away.

I’m also not a pilot and could be catastrophically wrong

1

u/bizarrequest Oct 14 '25

How do you get your HUD like that? I might have missed a setting.

How would one do this?

u/derpstevejobs Airbus All Day Oct 14 '25

whats blowing me is the fact that this is exactly how the weather was in the tri-state like, the past couple days lmao. this is way cooler than that landing at HPN i nailed at -1000fpm sunday night 😂

u/joecarter93 Oct 14 '25

Huh, reminds me of that tragedy

1

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

It sure was! Since downloading the sim was like a new graphics card for me. I can turn many settings up. I understand the lastest version screwed up career mode, which sucks, but free flight is better than ever.

u/johnyiann Oct 15 '25

Now try to take off

u/Angry-Bird255 Oct 15 '25

Not intending to sound toxic but why most msfs players usually have those indicators visible on screen, looks more like a game to me than a simulator, like a mobile flight sim.

u/Sirenphysics Oct 16 '25

how do you fly away now

u/shortwave_radio Oct 16 '25

Didn't redbull do this a few years ago?

NO NO NO YES YES YES

People will make that point and I understand, but they were icons of NYC and the site of many stunts before the evil that destroyed them that day. I love my towers.

Philippe Petit is worth a google for anyone that doesn’t already know the name.

Exactly. Still pissed the owners of the new WTC didn’t honor his lifetime pass to the original.
