There's no lunar eclipses in FS...

...but nice sunsets and weather.

A relatively short hop from Prague to Hannover in the default 738.

My flight was loaded and ready to go when it suddenly started to rain. Dang! :P
Image



So I had to do the all careful taxiing to the runway. Pre-dried it a bit for the other airplanes and off I went.
Image



Typical rocket-like climb. Just to get out of that rain...
Image



Bye, bye sun...
Image



...helloooooo darkness!
Image



On approach into EDDV. Note the moon (at ~7pm).
Image



This was about...
Image



...one of my best and smoothest approaches.

Yet sadly I realized too late that auto throttle was still engaged and so I overshot a bit.
There's always something to ruin it for you. xP

You do have nice angling, as Gabe pointed out.  I too love sunset flying in FS.

Haha!  I've done the autothrottle thing too..

"Flare....wait, no, stop climbing, go down go down!  AAAAH!  AUTOTHROTTLE DISARM DISARM!  BRAKES!!!!!"

The worst though is when you accidentally hit E midflight and you have a weird approach cause you are only throttling one engine ;)

Very nice shots, Bjorn....

..(of a shiny, aluminium, passenger, jet-propelled, Bus)... ::)...!

...Tee-Hee... ;D...!

I think I would keep my Trusty Cessna 152 locked up in its Hanger under those weather conditions... :o...!

Paul...Supping a cup of tea in the nice, warm FBO, watching the wind and the rain outside... 8-)...!

Thanks Paul.
