Sailing and Flying in Copenhagen Airport
🛩️ Introduction 🚢
Welcome back to another video! Today, we have an exciting adventure in store as we combine sailing and flying in Copenhagen Airport. But before we dive into the action, there's some important news to share. I have been granted access to the beta version of the real-time Global AI ship and traffic add-on. This incredible technology, which will be released in the future, allows for a realistic maritime experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I'll be testing it from a maritime perspective, providing feedback to the developers, and sharing my experience with the community. So, stay tuned and enjoy the video!
🚢 Testing the Beta Version
In this video, we'll be sailing along the Drogten Channel, located in the vicinity of Copenhagen Airport. To make the experience more immersive, I've decided to pilot a Cessna aircraft instead of using a drone. This way, we can enjoy the flight simulation element while exploring the bustling waterways. As we navigate through the channel, there are several vessels crossing our path. Keep an eye out for the Roto vessel, which may be slightly off from our own ship. Although I'm focused on flying, there's a GoPro camera capturing all the action from the bridge of our vessel.
🌍 Real-Time Global AI Ship and Traffic Add-On
Before we continue our journey, let's talk more about the real-time Global AI ship and traffic add-on. This groundbreaking technology brings the virtual world to life by introducing realistic ship and air traffic within Microsoft Flight Simulator. With this add-on, airports like Copenhagen become vibrant hubs, teeming with inbound and outbound flights. The combination of live traffic and dynamic ship movements creates a truly immersive experience for aviation enthusiasts and maritime explorers alike.
✈️ Live Traffic in Microsoft Flight Simulator
Now, let's focus on the action happening at Copenhagen Airport. As we approach the vicinity, you'll Notice a flurry of airplane activity, both landing and taking off. Thanks to the real-time connectivity, we can witness the airport's live traffic in action. Keep in mind that Costco Airport, where we'll be landing, is an Orbx airport known for its high detail and heavy air traffic. So don't be surprised if you experience some occasional stuttering due to the bustling nature of the area.
📷 GoPro Camera on Board
To capture every moment of our adventure, I've mounted a GoPro camera on the bridge of our vessel. This camera provides a unique perspective, allowing us to observe the ships passing by while maintaining our focus on aviation. As we sail through the narrow channel, you may notice some impressive vessels, such as the specialist and general Cargo ships. Even though they may differ slightly from their real-life counterparts, the level of detail is remarkable, making The Simulation as close to reality as possible.
🌊 Drochten Channel Approach
Navigating through the Drogten Channel requires precision and caution due to the limited clearance under the keel. With only a couple of meters of clearance, we must sail cautiously to avoid any mishaps. As we sail along, you'll notice the picturesque surroundings, including a lighthouse and various buoys guiding us through the narrow waterway. It's essential to maintain a slow and controlled speed to ensure our safe passage through this captivating channel.
✈️ Maintaining Flight Near the Vessel
As we approach the airport, it's time to divert our attention back to the Cessna. Flying near the vessel adds an extra layer of complexity to our adventure. While we maintain a close proximity to the ship, we can witness its grandeur in full view. To achieve this, I'll adjust the flaps and altitude carefully, ensuring we have a smooth flight while capturing stunning shots of the vessel and our surroundings.
💨 Adding Wind and Circulating Around
To enhance the realism of our flight, I've added some wind to simulate the actual weather conditions. Although we're not using live weather, I've adjusted the wind speed to a more manageable level, as flying in 50 meters per Second wind would be quite challenging. By introducing wind variability, we can experience a more immersive flight, keeping us on our toes and adding an element of excitement to our journey.
👀 Overview of Ships and Airplanes
Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible scenery surrounding us. We're in the heart of maritime and aviation traffic, with numerous vessels crossing our path and airplanes landing and taking off at Costco Airport. From the comfort of our cockpit, we have a unique vantage point to observe this bustling ecosystem. Whether it's the merchant ships, passenger vessels, or airplanes, there's always something captivating happening around us.
✈️ Landing at Costco Airport
As we near our destination, it's time for a smooth landing at Costco Airport. Although we won't attempt to land our Cessna on the trailers of the cargo ship, we'll aim to stay as close to the vessel as possible during the final approach. Keep in mind that our flight may deviate from standard procedures due to the dynamic conditions. With some adjustments in flaps and speed, we'll touch down on the Runway, showcasing our piloting skills.
🎥 Flyby and Camera Shots
After a successful landing, let's take a moment to enjoy a flyby around the airport. As we soar through the air, you'll have a chance to appreciate the intricate details of the airport and its surroundings. From other vessels passing by to the iconic landmarks, there's plenty to see and explore. As the GoPro camera captures every angle, we'll be treated to a stunning visual journey, serving as a testament to the realism and immersive experience provided by Microsoft Flight Simulator.
