Tell us your worst in-flight disaster? (In the sim folks!)

1st jet flight back in August 2020, the default A320, no less.

Taxiing out of EGCC was fairly uneventful, taking off from 23L, I set up what I thought was the autopilot, being used to FSX, I thought “heh, it must be same”… NOPE

It’s at this moment, he knew he’d flupped up…

V1, rotate, gear up… Switch on autopilot. Pushed the joystick out of the way so I could clean up. All of a sudden, the cockpit lit up like a christmas tree, an English gentleman came on calmly saying, Stall Stall Stall, beep beep beep beep…

Dropped to the floor like a stone.

Given the new sound effects and how realistic things looked, I actually felt guilty for those stag parties wanting to get to Ibiza to soak up the local Spanish culture with alcohol and club music.

I stuck to props for a good while after that.
