BTW the most eco-friendly way to enjoy Antarctica, flight simming should be a "must-do" for all those who consider travelling there.
Given the wattage that simming sucks out of the power grid, I'd say better don't tell ze Baerbock.

Fantastic shots, Bernd! Truly a marvellous landscape. Is the ice static or depends its extension on the season?

Great shot, especially the last one. It's surprising to see that you can have your framerate displayed in P3D/FSX style even in MSFS...

Very good narration, Gerold. To aliviate the night flights, I sometimes use the time preview function, so that I can take at least some pictures. But then again, other flights are so stuffed with sight seeing that I end up with a lot of nearly identical pictures.

Brilliant and epic, the key adjectives have already been mentioned.

Very good shot! I don't dare to ask which simulator it was taken in.

Thank you Gerold for the great trip report! It makes me want to fly the 777 again, but I have four different 737 flights ahead before I start a new rotation. I should casually remind myself that it's a hobby...
Your trip also reminds me of my trip with the Air France 777 to Capetown. There's always a lot of thunderstorms in Central Africa, I remember having to make huge diversions and fly around entire countries due to the weather. How was the weather during your trip? Did you have a lot of thunderstorms along the way?

Very good flight, Gerold. Mixing in the real shots is a great idea, actually.

Made me laugh, gracias papi.
Though I'm not a papi. Too much flight sim I guess.

Paso cada día por acá para ver si hay algo de nuevo... It's true that I'm seldomly at the screenshot section and commenting. I have a few ideas on posting something, though.

He really did it again? I once believed PMDG's hollow promise, that there will be a free upgrade and I only bought the plane for this reason during a sale many years ago. Of course there never has been an upgrade. This was the last time I bought something from PMDG.
Correct. The treatment of their more than loyal customers over there is a shame.
I remember very well that RSR made a thread outlining what updates they wanted to bring to their products, including an LNAV update for their P3D lineup and a cockpit visuals update for the 777. I remember how I paraphrased this over at their forum and how I got slandered in the most appalling way for it by Mr. RSR himself. Absolutely disgusting.

- The QW 787: That plane is fully on PMDG level, at least for the normal operations I usually fly. Great stuff and worth buying it, even today in the final days (?) of P3D.
- What is RSR?
I only ever fly normal operations, too... I never bother with simulated emergencies... all emergencies I encounter are due to sim glitches or pilot skills.
RSR is the entity acting as PMDG's boss.

Ah Crete... I have nice memories of vacations on the island when I was still very young. Particularly I remember a monastery in the center of the island and visiting the palace of Knossos. They have rebuilt parts of it, it's very nice there. I believe it is surrounded entirely by the city today.
And nice flight. Now that we learned yesterday that RSR (possibly) betrayed his customers and there's probably not going to be any update for P3D: How's the QW 787 doing in comparison to the PMDG stuff?

Is there any update? I realize there might be geo-political developments involved, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Thank you.
Now that we learnt that Eugene, the developer, and familiy are safe and sound, it's completely legit to ask for a little update on the state of things!

Thanks Lars. I missed you already!
Thank you.
The thing is that I, much like you, like sharing flight stories. When Orbx started enforcing its policy not to show third-party stuff, I became quite restricted at posting screenshot stories, since it is really rare for me to fly from one Orbx airport to another. Due to this policy (which is understandable from Orbx' point of view) posters are left to showcase screenshots (presenting exceptionally good shots like in the screenshot contest), and I am honestly not very good at this.
I'm not even sure if it would be allowed to post screenshots of a scenery which is in the portfolio of a company that sells products via Orbx, but not this particular one.
And that I take too much screenshots and am too lazy to sort them in time.

Great set of shots, Jack! Nice to see that remote areas finally get some love.
