Some from this week / Virgin flight to ?

Postby Barbr » Fri May 01, 2009 12:13 am

[b][size=14]Hey guys,

A few from this week as I'm getting the hang of the PMDG...

Image
This one's during take-off from KLAX...

Then I bought the Virgin MD-11 for my FSPassengerX airline!
Image
Here are we flying over Frankfurt...

Image
Guess where we're landing?? (hint: those mountains just tower over my landing approach...)

Image
... sunrise over those mountains during the descent...

Image
This silly airport only has VOR, not ILS, and it's built surrounded by hills on all sides!! What a silly location! At about 3,000ft above the airport it was 100% thick fog

The 'office' pic looks great!  :)

Makes me wonder now as to what aircraft I should purchase next, the MD-11, or the 747  :-/

Thanks for looking!

You guys were right... once I got the hang of the flight computer, it's hard for me to go back to the more simple planes. I've been trying to get a Project Opensky 747 working so that we don't spend another $70 or whatever to get the PMDG 747, but when I try using the FSX panels now I get confused  ;D

Plus, on some of the nicer scenery airports, the PMDG runs a little choppy.  ::)

Spectacular, love them all!! The colours are fantastic  :) Wish I had the brainpower to learn how to fly something so complex, must have an IQ or 80 or something, or perhaps just too short an attention span. It would be great to fly these long-haul birds though, nothing to take screenshots of at FL350, I could read a ton of books...

Thanks!

Well, no one guessed where it was, but I was trying to land at Kathmandu (VNKT).  It's a fun run... in fact, I did another one yesterday but it a visibility 2 landing  :o; a fun place if you haven't tried it!
