Jack Sawyer Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Started out being silly. No tutorial, just hand flying with minimum fuel. Of all places Bonner's Ferry! And it lifted off! Then placed it at KPSP, took off and made a pattern and landed and called for the service vehicles. Now, come on, you guys just knew I had to get silly for a moment. No 747's were injured in this screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Jack Runway 2/20 at Bonners Ferry is 4,002' long. Calculations I have seen suggest a lightly loaded 747 may need around 4,738' to take off. Why did you not end up in the hill at the end of the runway? Nice shots BTW.

But actually, I used the CDU to set the lowest fuel load then stood on the brakes and blasted the throttles to the firewall and hoped for the best. Betty was screaming at me that the runway was too short. So I pulled up at the last second and man I gotta tell ya, if they modeled this thing right this plane has some serious power. From now on it'll be more sensible shots. I just wanted to be silly for my wife. 9 minutes ago, Bermuda425 said: You're up to no good in these shotz Jack! Thanks Erik! What's life without a little fun? I just wanted to make people laugh and really also to test it at a ridiculously short runway. This thing rocks. But I'd trade it for Innsbruck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Top marks as usual for these fun shots Jack. There is no rule book as to what you do on your sim, great to see you stick it up some of the fly by the book "pilots'' I see on other sites that look down on us fun types. Ctrl+E rules.

Kev D Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Nice shots, Jack......did you win the lottery? That is a seriously expensive aircraft! Now I want one, but my military pension says not this month! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Jack I saved for this one for a long time & rolled it out yesterday. Still reading the manuals but have done a couple of test flights. Very very smooth & realistic . Those wings flex!! Anyway, on most of my P3Dv3.4 aircraft, hovering over a Cockpit live switch brings up text: a description & whether it is On or Off. I am not getting that so far in the 747. I get the curled hand to indicate something is live, but no text. Do you get text? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was money the wife got refunded on something she bought for me for Christmas so I went ahead and bought it. I can completely understand as we're on a fixed income too. 1 hour ago, TigerTigerM said: Jack I saved for this one for a long time & rolled it out yesterday.

I like too tips and use them a lot. Maybe they did this for realism? If you find out please lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDX Flyer Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I was almost disapointed Jack. From the title, I was expecting butterfly pictures. But "Oh Well" I guess I will have to settle for 747 pictures. BTW, they were very entertaining shots. For the sake of the folks living down near Siletz Bay, I am so glad you didn't choose that airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks PDX and I would have started at Siletz but I think the wings would have mown down some trees. 2 hours ago, Stillwater said: Well sometimes it happens that these big birds accidently land on too-small-airfields.

TigerTigerM Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Tool Tips - Looks like they can be switched On & Off in P3D. Need to find where. TTM Addendum P3D Set Up notes - To display cockpit ToolTips In the General Settings dialog box, select the Show cockpit ToolTips check box. Click OK. Well, I have the box ticked, but no Tool Tips. Might be something in the 747 set up - there is quite a bit at the front of one of the guides about tweaks to P3D to have the 747 run ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
