British Airways 742

Little landing sequence. Just like in real life, the 747 is the easiest aircraft to land in FS2004  :)
I messed around with the weather during the replay, hence the somewhat different ambient lightning  :)













Hope you liked them  :)

Good job these aren't for the screenie contest.....

I wouldn't be able to choose the winner from this batch (although 3 & 4 do stand out from the rest for me)

All-in-all a fine bunch of shots you have there Nex

Cheers,

Carl out.....

Very nice shots, they all look great. Some great angles and the clarity is great. The one thing i would recommend is the blue tire smoke (available here and at avsim i think), would make the touchdown look even nicer imo.

Nexus, 3, 4, and 5 are stunning angles!

Thanks guys, and I'm quite happy about pic no4, unsual and interesting in your face picture  ;D

I will check out the smoke effect, thanks Grimmy for the advice...did not know about addiditional smoke effects  :)

Nice shots, The 747 in British Airways skin looks like it was meant for that aircraft. I can't think of any other skins that make the 747 look so Majestic.

Although I think landing it is easy, the transition from autopilot to manual flight is quirky. When I disengage the autopilot the tail rudders tend to flap out of control and the big bird drops out of the sky like an elevator that got its cables cut :-/. Haven't figured whats wrong with her yet, but I still keep her because like I said she is a beauty to fly and its the best looking 747 model.
