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!




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.




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




Bye, bye sun...




...helloooooo darkness!




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




This was about...




...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

I love your angles man they're always so creative .  Great shots...and so true about how something always goes wrong .

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

Nice to know I'm not the only one with that problem.


Thanks for commenting, guys.

For those who don't know...this is what happened last night. A Lunar eclipse.

Very nice shots, Bjorn....

...Tee-Hee... ...!

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

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