I have taken to the POSKY 747s recently and was enjoying the POSKY Polar 747-400F. Decided to fly from Chicago O'hare to Fairbanks, Alaska...granted I have no clue the flight plans of Polar but was just having fun.

The last shot was a close call on a different 747, that the ATC had goofed up on..

and the close call. The ATC almost waited too long to call around. Good thing the passengers couldnt see what was coming, but I think they heard the jets right above them...

Comments good or bad are always welcome ;)

Fantastic shots there!  The ATC in FS2004 definitly needs improvment.  That's one of the features I'll be looking for in 2006. 8)

M$ shouldn't give virtual drugs or alcohol to the ATC controllers.  ::)

Thanks for the comments too!

imo, the ATC system in FS2004 is much better then in FS2002 ;)

Mike,

The Qantas was actually in Australia. It was just the dessert shot after the Polar main course.

I didnt want to add another thread for one shot :)
