Flight Club: Digital Combat Simulator: P-51D Mustang Beta

@mrfluke: you mean when he lost it after getting shot by that NPC in Outcast? That was an equally incredible moment.

Once nobody could see where they were headed, you knew what was coming. Great stuff guys.

They'll somehow find a way to drown.

Even though I'm afraid of heights, I'm proud to be a flight club member.

I just became a premium member to watch this video, it was totally worth it.

Great video - somehow 30+ minutes of "how do we take off?" is entertaining. Oh, and 43:50 is incredible, as mentioned in a ton of other comments.

It's like when you finally solve some crazy puzzle in an old adventure game. 30 mins of WTF, then a couple of minutes of being absolutely thrilled.

Oh btw, yes. Open the canopy. Always open the canopy!

My thanks to the guys in the first 4 or so pages of comments that had the good sense not to spoil that glorious moment at 43:50. I haven't had my sides hurt from laughter in a long time.

I apologise if this ruins Flight Club for anyone, but 0:30 is how I like to imagine Drew, Vinny and Dave. :D

Also 3:25. Especially 3:25.

I love how Drew immediately does whatever crazy thing Vinny tells him to do. Always results in great videos.

When they emerged from that cloud I laughed so hard I got light headed and nearly passed out.

Vinny : "Where's the altimeter, are you going up or down?"
Drew: "I don't know, oh wait. Oh God, my instruments."
Dave: "No I it looks like we're......
*Emerges from cloud*
Dave: OH GOD!

That should be a T-Shirt, "Giant Bomb Black Box"

I love that Vinny brings up Solar Jetman almost randomly a lot in videos.

This is basically how John Kennedy Jr. died.

Flight Club is ascending to Flight Squad!

44:00 = me ROFL literally

This is A+ Quality premium video!

Vinny Laugh=Greatness

It's official: we need a Flight Club t-shirt that simply says "P-51D 43:50"

I think video game t-shirts are pretty much the gooniest thing, but I would wear this.

i love vinnie he is like the devil on the shoulder when everyone else plays a game lol

Whenever I watch these I get real excited about flight sims, but flight sims are no fun with out vinny/drew/dave :(

This is the reason why I love Giant Bomb right here! Amazing!

Vinny :  "Where's the altimeter, are you going up or down?"
Drew:  "I don't know, oh wait.  Oh God, my instruments."
Dave: "No I it looks like we're......
 *Emerges from cloud*
Dave: OH GOD!

I haven't finished watching yet, but having an X-52 joystick is a good start. I love my X-52. just about the last great joystick ever made, unless someone can suggest a better one. wish I could use it more. I pine for another space sim.

edit: I also remember when f-16 gold came with like a 400+ page pdf.... shit was hardcore...

43:55 had me in fucking stitches.

Love it when Vinny laughs that hard, it's infectious.

"See the reflection in the glass...like Metroid."

Dammit, now I wanna play Metroid Prime again.

43:50 shall live forever

I haven't laughed so hard at a video in a LONG time

DVD are the best go Flight Club yyyyaaaayyy.....

I dunno why, but the-

Vinny: Hmmm

Drew: Hmmm

Vinny: Hmmm

-thing they kept doing got me to laugh every time. Progressively more each time.

"need more vinnies and drews" truer words were never spoke.

this was one of the funniest things I've seen on GB

No one ever let Vinny near a real Cockpit, bad things will happen

36 minutes+ into this flight simulator quick look, THEY GOT THE ENGINE STARTED! YAY! I love GiantBomb so much...

I can't even imagine getting in a plane with Drew at the helm.

"Uhhh, this is your captain speaking. We're coming in for a landing, but I can't seem to get the landing gear down. I keep turning this knobby thing, but nothing's happening. Hold on, let me check my notes..."

*Kaboom*

"Oops, that wasn't the right one."

It's official: we need a Flight Club t-shirt that simply says "P-51D 43:50"

"Well there's this button i can press to restart..." *Click click Click* ......BOOOOOOOM!

"OH GOD!!"

lol oh god that hurt the ol' ribs

And to think I was worrying whether the Premium membership would be worth it. This was amazing.

Could not get the live stream working.. but it does not matter since I have this version :D

the single greatest moment of premium content thus far

YES

Tears. You can't script this crap lol. So perfect.

Anyone have a list of every game Flight Club'd? I can only remember Warthog and the one with Mike Horn.

Best Flight Club by far.

44:00 THE FUNNIEST SHIT

i love these videos

I laughed so hard when the clouds parted and they realised they were pointing straight at the ground. Classic.

Tears of laughter at 43:50. That whole moment was completely perfect...wow.

God I love this site.

holy shit, that is a total hall of fame moment right there. pure perfection, easily up there with dave getting shot in random pc game

@justthekicker82 said:

"we need more Vinnies and Drews" AMEN

haha yeah, when I heard that I thought, truer words have never been said

The lesson is: never let Vinny in to the cockpit of anything, ever. lol

Thanks guys for the laugh. This was worth $50 alone.

Love it.

The laugh at 44:02 is hilarious. They sound like delirious monkies.
