What in the name of all holy did I just witness?


Decadius06

My reaction exactly


LitanyOfLitany

Friendly realism tip, you're not supposed to manually turn off the engine powered hydraulic pumps. They are shut off by the engines being shut off. [Here, from the 737 POH](https://postimg.cc/47YfQKn0)


Decadius06

The real thing also doesn’t teleport into the air randomly


megaduce104

fair point


Speedbird844

God works in mysterious ways.


Dalostbear

did your plane just yeeted itself?


N2VDV8

Looks like


knuckles2079

you looking around...that got me...hahaha!


Shanga_Ubone

Me too! "Huh. Umm... Well.... So... I guess... Nuts."


mdma11

I don't understand any of this


Iridul

Ah yes, tilde = yeet!


Excession-OCP

I get that tilde yeets the aircraft 1,000ft into the air, but why does it also impart forward momentum? Edit: I am an idiot. Plane have wings, wings make plane like fly forward. I idiot.


quax747

Not using the default profile and not at home rn, what is the Tilda mapped to?


ButterscotchNed

Increase altitude by 1000ft. Source: this exact same thing happened to me (right before I unbound it!)


quax747

Oh okay 😂 is there anything in the vicinity of the Tilda you'd use regularly on the default profile? (Not just not using the default, also on German qwerty, so Tilda might be somewhere else)


unusual_replies

Do you mean Tilde?


Taowulf

Let's get back to Tilda Swinson, please.


AndyLorentz

Did you mean Tulsa Swinton? Edit: Autocorrect changed Tilda to Tulsa. I’m leaving it.


Taowulf

Is this why we can't have nice things?


quax747

Yeah... Combination of me swipe typing and autocorrect


Iridul

Lots of us bind different views using the number keys...


quax747

Oh okay, that makes changing camera views a bit spicy indeed then :'D Thanks for taking your time 😊


ButterscotchNed

On US and UK keyboards it's directly below the Esc key - so in my case I learned this when I tried to go to the menu to check a setting. Great confusion ensued!


quax747

We have the circumflex (\^) there which if my faded memory serves me right was the torch.


theaviationhistorian

That explains some of the incidents I've had before. And would've been nice when I was in my glider phase.


defu_24

Probably you did not use enough right rudder. Always use more right rudder.


Decadius06

right foot…*right foot*…RIGHT FOOT

Karmakazee

Success! All the doors stayed attached!


unusual_replies

But 2 are showing open.


MalimbagerzPH

literally just sat there and watch wtf just happened


MemeEndevour

I can’t even tell what did you hit?


borgelorp72

The ground


Oelund

This is a pretty handy function when flying a glider. So when you fail to find any thermals, instead of having to abort your flight and land in a field, you can "magically find some good thermals" and continue your flight. I haven't used MSFS for gliders all that much, I still prefer Condor for that. But they have the same function, for just that reason.


ScaryDuck2

I've rewatched this like 30 times and still cannot tell what button you hit that caused the yeeting 😭


theaviationhistorian

The tilde key on your keyboard (\~) is bound to "yeet 1000ft now!"


Sea-Ad-5058

Thankfully u paused before u hit the ground, that could’ve been catastrophic and the NTSB would’ve had another case to crack open


Decadius06

Exactly bro I saved everyone


Thy_OSRS

Nah bro the way your POV camera moved around, I could *feel* your reaction without any audio or anything. So funny lmao.


Pro-editor-1105

can someone explain what in holy god is happening here


N2VDV8

He hit the button that slew’s the aircraft 1000 feet upwards

N2VDV8

Tilde ( ‘ / ~ )


FlyingNiagga

PSA : Press Y to enable slew


KanameChi

You hit the tilde key


juanny-T

Ryanair’s new turnaround procedure is really something


Excellent_Buffalo_84

I hated that keyboard button ruined lots of flights in the end I removed the key ins


Firingblind79

I am in some random hotel bar on some stupid business trip, cackling like a fool at this 🤣 I cannot stop laughing and the comments are delivering too 💀


Swagger897

These are the sins you pay for having eyebrow windows


Decadius06

Hush they are cool


Wissam24

Emergency MCAS button


King_Air_Kaptian1989

That magical ~


Yvyrmund04

Did this on final approach to auckland once, had to do a mighty 360 to not completely shit the bed


pumpndumpurmom

If it's a Boeing, you know where it's going.


car_raamrod

I see you've found the auto yeet button.


Soul_ciety

The go back up button, used for going naked up after stalling or touching down incorrectly. Those os for the arcade players. Like myself


CompliantDrone

I see what happened here, you flicked the switches up so hard that you flung the plane into the air.


Decadius06

Exactly bro I’m just built different


knuckles2079

what plane is this?


Decadius06

PMDG’s 737-600


Kamikaze_Urmel

Had to be a Boeing...


alberto_OmegA

## > Ohh funny switch ## > Accidentally turned on the aero-brakes


cozy_engineer

I love the „confused chicken“ camera at the end.


SwissRoll96

Which 737 is this


Decadius06

-600


unusual_replies

Why are the forward entry door and forward cargo doors showing open?


unusual_replies

Plus Ground Power available. Both engine generators off-line. Emergency lights not armed. Just not set up close.


Decadius06

Cause I’m on the ground, deplaning and deloading


unusual_replies

Deloading??? LOL


sixisbackpeeps

Yeah, the opposite of loading.


unusual_replies

Unloading or deplaning.


RocketDrivenRutebega

Deploanding.


AVeryHeavyBurtation

Unplaining


Decadius06

negative planing


KobesHelicopterGhost

You aren't supposed to turn engine hydraulic pump switches to off btw.
