✈ PMDG 737-800 takes to the skies on VATSIM – join the flight deck for some live ATC action

Welcome aboard! Today’s adventure takes us high above the East Coast as we fly the PMDG 737-800 in the classic Southwest Airlines livery across the VATSIM network. It’s a Saturday afternoon flight filled with live ATC, real pilots, and authentic airline-style operations. Whether you’re a fellow simmer, an aviation enthusiast, or just curious about what it’s like to operate an airliner in a virtual world, this stream is all about capturing the fun and challenge of realistic airline flying.

We’ll be simulating real-world East Coast routes, navigating busy airspace, and following proper IFR procedures. The PMDG 737-800 is one of the most detailed aircraft add-ons in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and paired with VATSIM, it delivers an unmatched level of immersion. Expect live air traffic control, weather challenges, and maybe a little bit of Saturday chaos along the way!

Flying with the Southwest Airlines callsign adds to the fun, as we bring the low-cost carrier’s legendary spirit to the virtual skies. From preflight planning and pushback to cruising altitude and smooth landings, we’ll cover every step of the flight deck experience.

If you’re new to VATSIM, think of it as a massive multiplayer environment where thousands of simmers and controllers work together to create realistic flying scenarios. It’s live, it’s unscripted, and no two flights are ever the same. You’ll hear real ATC chatter, interact with other pilots, and get a feel for what professional aviation sounds like in real-time.
