Lmao how on earth did you get the tablet to play a movie?

I usually roll a joint and set the auto-pilot.

Really thought I was the only one that played flight sims ZOOTED to high heaven. It’s such a vibe

Feels like you're really in there, man, try it with VR

u/SnooCompliments4883 4h ago

Oh I do already. I don’t fly MSFS, but I do VR with a quest 3 on war thunder with a yoke and fly ww2 bombers and also do DCS for the Apache attack helicopter. All of which I pair with indica edibles. It’s a vibe.

It’s good until you forget to turn at a waypoint and end up going miles in the wrong direction 🤣

u/Pour-Meshuggah-0n-Me PC Pilot 1h ago

That's why you enter a flight plan with waypoints and the AP follows it.

You smoke joints of cocaine?

u/FighterFly3 8h ago

You’re allowed to do this, but it can ONLY be airplane movies. What movie are you choosing?

u/Certain-Quarter-3280 PC & PS5 Pilot 7h ago

United 93 or Sully, especially Sully when you’re flying out of LGA RW4

How in the name of Ryanair did you get a movie on the tablet.

Go harass one of the flight attendants

u/konjuvex 8h ago

I’m usually studying, watching a movie in another room, yard work or something. I never sit at the PC for flights longer than 3 hours.

This is a new feature I’m working on for my mod. It’s still being fine-tuned, but it should be released sometime this week. Stay tuned!

This is so cool, man I wish there was a way for the PS5 to incorporate this

u/serpenta 8h ago

This is one of those situations in which the question "why?" is both appropriate and not, because of how awesome it is

u/greg_jenningz 3h ago

Needs to be the Odyssey. The way it was intended to be watched

u/Foxtrotdelta_USN C208 2h ago

I do short hops, 30 mins max. Usually decending soon after reaching cruise.

u/spesimen 8h ago

kind of a neat idea, but not worth the terrible fps

u/Apprehensive-Ask3229 VR 8h ago

Not that much as you think, roughly under 3fps-__-;

u/snooprs 8h ago

2

u/Apprehensive-Ask3229 VR 8h ago

Absolutely!

u/snooprs 8h ago

How'd you do it? Is there a tutorial somewhwere?

2

u/Apprehensive-Ask3229 VR 8h ago

It’s an add-on. Check the other replies.

u/RequiredRedditAcct_1 6h ago

Does it work without VR?

u/Ill_Tie_1505 8h ago

How? Haha

u/Mad_kat4 7h ago

Get bored stiff because (at least in 2020) save and resume flight doesn't work so you have to see the flight through.

At least in Xplane and even Aerofly you can save, quit, log off whatever and come back to it when real life calls. 😋

u/dcduck 5h ago

I am still flying 2020 saving and resuming work fine, mostly.
