Stillwater Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Once again, I had to re-fly SQ227 services from Singapore to Melbourne. And, to say it upfront, this time I managed to set the time correctly: If you use the sim´s (correct appearing) local time, you´ll be 2 hrs too early, one has to set the departure time according to UTC. Ready for boarding. As you can see the first screenie is way too dark... Taxi into position... ... and go. Not much light from the moon either. Equator crossing, as you can read from the CDU. Flight planning was easy this time. ETOPS 60 minutes is sufficient while crossing the Timor sea. Approaching the 16, with warm morning greetings to all those who live underneath the STAR. Once again, not much to see in the outside view... ... but then comes the overwhelming light of the terminal: Can you spot the AI traffic plane just behind the squared Pier D building? That is SQ227 (which I was indeed chasing during the whole flight, and it took off in WSSS just a few minutes ahead of me). So it seems I arrived on time, according to the real flight plan. And in fact, the flight arrived in darkness on that particular day. What a nice welcome! Sorry for not showing too much Orbx scenery here - that is the trouble with a RL mimic of a night flight...

VH-KDK Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wonderful set of one of my favourite RL flights too. Flew it 3 years ago on 9V-SYL, so much space compared to the TG773. 2 years ago did it in 9V-SKB, love the A380 too. Booked that flight especially so my grandson, who is nuts about planes, could fly on one. Out of the 6 of us only me and him like flying. The rest of them were sat frozen in their seats in fear during t/o and landing. The only negative about this flight is that in means the end of another fantastic visit to Thailand. The end of 5 glorious weeks in Thailand. SQ227, 9V-SKB over western Victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, obviously, you were not flying in Australian autumn/winter, as I can see from the light in your shot. 13 hours ago, Orbxtreme said: Excellent idea, you sure fly a lot...for real! Hmm, you may be right. And I like the RL/sim comparisons, that is why I try to get window seats... 13 hours ago, BradB said: I can't tell if these are real shots or sim shots , maybe there Memorex : Cheers John Good memory, John! 10 hours ago, antonvs said: Great informative set, thanks Gerold.
