Part 1 - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1216352180

It is very lonely at 37,000 feet in the middle of the north Atlantic! Atleast it was a clear day.


The English coastline is in sight


About to touchdown at Gatwick


Welcome to London.... now get off the plane!

Great shots. I'll have to try a long flight like that myself one day.

[BFMF]

So how long was the flight?

[ThomasKaira]

You call that long?

Try VHHH to EGLL, now THAT will train you well, dear aspiring insomniac.

Or maybe backwards, then continue on to Sydney. Call it a project, but do it all at once, or at least try.

(I think my minor insanity issues might be stirring right now.) 8-) :-/

Was your landing that bad so you dint show a picture?

Kidding..
Nice shots I like the first one at 37,000 feet  ;)

[Vuikag]

nce shots but....
zoom is a large product placement for mazda! it's a zionest conspiracy!
 ;D  ;D  ;D

Ok, well maybe not the longest flight, but it was still around 11 hours. But I did cheat! haha. just used the map and placed the aircraft where I wanted it.

Actually, the landing on this flight was quite good.... just didnt get any good shots/angles of it.

You moved the aircraft with the map?


Try a 14 hour flight in a B-17 from San Francisco to Honolulu. No time compression, no GPS, and no map. I only used a compass, a primitive autopilot, and my Nav/Adf radios. All real time, and sitting at my computer.

Also, I recently flew from Washington to the Florida coast in a DC-4. The flight lasted almost 12 hours, and I only used my maps, compass, and my nav radios to navigate. I never once used the GPS, or the default map to see where I was. And once again, the flight was completed all real time while sitting at my computer

I couldent do that.. I wish I could..If I had a home cockpit...
Diffrent story  ;D

And I know your landing was probally good anyways..
Just a joke  ;)

[Fozzer]

I can manage half and hour or so on a short hop from one grass airstrip the next nearest one.....

..then I switch the Computer off, and go and do something useful...

...like mow the grass... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF.... ....!

[firemonte007]

great looking shots...the most i can probably get away with is about an hour-2 hour flight maybe....after that it runs the risk of frustrating my bride  :)

[waspiflab]

I struggle from Bristol to Filton and thats a couple of miles
if it wasnt for landing it would be the most dullest sim ever made
come to think of it what the hell have I doing since July 2003 :-?
god help you all who have been using this since  1982

[gtirob01]

Yea, I cant sit for more than maybe 2 hours on the computer. So thats why I just used the map to place the aircraft where I wanted it, took some shots, and moved on. I did of course fly the takeoff and landing legs on my own!

[OVERLORD_CHRIS]

Your 767 made it all the way over their? Nice.
