Heading into the Night - another RL comparison


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

Just another report from a flight done some weeks ago - and repeated in the sim meanwhile. From Hanover ...

... climbing out over Wunstorf AB ...,

... with a look at Weser- and Wiehengebirge (unfortunately a bit difficult to spot EDVY south of the mountains), with the rape fields far too prominent in FTXG / OpenLC.

Followed by a nice Frankfurt city tour. As a special note for Brad, I did sneak forward for these shots: These are from seat 7F - but the A320 is too small to get away from engine and slats.

Time to change into a bigger bird: Here it is.

But this is how it would look in my sim:


a) I do not have a HQ 747,


b ) Frankfurt airport 2.0 is still in the making.

So I did make a slight deviation in order to enjoy the flight, sorry: T7 in fictious LH livery, with Munich as the departing airport.

Still I followed the executed flight plan from Austria onwards.

Night lights in the real flight are more than impressive here ...

... but there is a gap in FSX & FTX world  :-[ .

Mumbai does not match the real light either.

Even hard to spot the runway...

A great moon lightens the mood of the simmer.

Hope you don´t mind another long post.


And I hope Brad is satisfied not having the disturbing wing & engine view in the shots made over the asian cities  ;D .

Thank you all for watching, commenting and - thus - motivating. I hope you don´t mind if I continue this series, potentially in a little bit of daylight?


 


 




Sometimes the shock with Reality brings us back to reality: the reality is more real!


Cheers, Voyager



 


Really well observed, thanks!


 




Well done Gerold , I enjoyed your shots from your trip - trips . And yes I am very satisfied . ???:o


Cheers


Brad




 


Good to read that my sneaking-forward satisfied you. I also managed to not get in conflict with the flight attendants  8) !
