SimVenture 2025: Fisk Arrival with Real Oshkosh Controllers | X-Plane 12 Home Cockpit Live Stream

Come along as we tackle the famous FISK arrival into SimVenture 2025 on the PilotEdge network. Today I'm joined by a special guest in the basement / closet simulator - my college buddy "Gonzo" (real-world ATP who flies Falcons) as we navigate the challenging Oshkosh arrival procedures with actual AirVenture controllers. We depart Portage Municipal (C47) and join the conga line of aircraft heading to Wittman Regional (KOSH), maintaining 1,800 feet and 90 knots while following the railroad tracks from Ripon. As these are real OSH controllers working PilotEdge for the event, you hear the unique non-verbal communication as they identify us by type and color, we rock our wings in acknowledgment, and navigate the busy pattern to land (close to) on the colored dots. This is as close as you can get to the real AirVenture arrival without leaving home. We're flying the default Cessna 172 in X-Plane 12 from my GA home cockpit featuring RealSimGear's G1000 hardware.
