Hi all just a few shots that I took on a Thomson flight from Salzburg back to Birmingham. Payware is Flight Enviroment and Captain Sim 757. Comments/ Criticisms welcome!

Rotation

Gears up!

Turning towards Birmingham

Climbing away into the clouds...
Thanks for looking,

Of course, I'm not buying a ladder, I'll throw a piece of rope down and they can climb up
I would recommend buying it if you want a detailed plane ( Great exterior and VC) but you don't want the complicated FMC's etc

What is a FMC? too newbie  :(

Cool shots Jon but isn't rotation with the wheels on the ground, or is it just that I misunderstood?

Rotation is the time from nosegear lift up to main gear lift up, right?  The aircrafti is pivoting on its mains, hence the term 'rotation,'  I believe.  Correct me if I'm wrong...

Rotation is simply when you begin to apply aft pressure on the yoke during the take-off roll.
subsequently, the aircraft's nose will start to pitch up. Reverse thrust is pretty much bang on.

FMC = Flight Management Computer. Without getting into details, is the heart and brain of the airplane. This is the gadget the pilots feed the current route, aircraft weights and other performance parameters. In return the FMC is able to tell the AP how to fly the route in the most economical way. The autopilot is coupled to the FMC, so is the autothrottle (If available)
