I just picked up this great add-on yesterday. It's a demanding aircraft to fly (it's giving me fits on landing), but damn nice looking. The image quality suffers a bit from sizing them down, but they still look pretty good to me.

Departing Vancouver B.C.


Getting above the weather.


Daybreak over the Cascades


Turning towards Denver.


And some shots of dusk near Memphis Tn.

Nice shots. So..did you sit there for 14 hours and land it in Osaka? * biggrin


* - You could actually go to sleep and wake up in the morning and land it..apparently that is what us real pilots do anyway.. biggrin wink

Not yet...

but I do work out of the home on a separate PC, so I am seriously considering doing some long haul flights during 'working' hours. thumbsup

A set of screens from Sydney AU to Hong Kong.

The weather on the ground was bad so it made for a bumpy departure.


Once climbing out of the muck, the headwind was so stiff that I was concerned about fuel. The FMC was estimating only about 12k lbs of fuel by the time I made it to Hong Kong.


It cleared up nicely over Queensland though, we caught a light tailwind and the fuel estimate jumped up to something I was much more comfortable with.



Several hours later over the South China Sea, night had fallen and it was as smooth as silk.


Finally made it to our destination, and was given a nice long final that gave me time to set things up....


...so the big beast could land itself. popcorn
