On January 22, 2022, I witnessed one of the most EPIC funny MSFS streaming moments in history (at least for me). @fortheloveofvirtualflying recorded and posted the finale for all to see.
The posted video clip alone is reason enough to join TomosWorld’s Discord Channel, even if you leave the channel after viewing the video clip (in the #clips section) and never actually join one of his community flights. However, the shenanigans that Tomos gets himself into during his flights is what I enjoy watching. It’s better than TV.
The incident is a good example of virtual pilot workload during emergency operations. The drama that unfolded did not result in a virtual fatal mishap with all souls on board, and it ended in a successful emergency landing. The clip is only of the finale, in which Tomos successfully lands in zero visibility - totally disregarding minimums after two go-arounds and on the verge of rage quitting. It doesn’t include the drama that occurred at 41000 feet when all four engines failed and subsequently forced the emergency diversion to an immediate alternate.
MSFS already has enough issues to deal with during a virtual flight. It is beyond me why one would want to load software that adds total chaos to what would have been a relaxing tour of the Worlld. However, it resulted in one of the most dramatic, hilarious, and entertaining streams I have ever witnessed in MSFS.
The clips show why people don’t like to fly the default 747 - some of the issues are due to MSFS and can’t be avoided if you fly it.

p.s. Tomos also mentioned after landing during the stream that he now had a bad reputation in some sort of PAX software he was also using and the passengers were all upset.
