Jack Sawyer Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It can be done. Don't mind me, just more testing Isn't this a beautiful place? I needed helicopters to bring up the freight. Here. We. Go............ Pull up Pull up!!!! Yes! Now for some high-altitude testing! I mean REAL high altitude. Like 189 miles. Would that be flight level 1890 or 18900? All that Orbx PeopleFlow way down yonder. Just ignore the shrill warnings folks. Your captain is nuts. I tested the hot brakes by landing on grass. Yup, they get hot! Thanks for indulging my test flights of fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Can you imagine Jack that people are willing to pay tens of millions of bucks for an out of space flight in a tiny, uncomfortable capsule and here you are, offering something similarly spectacular with the added comfort only a big Boeing can provide. Hey, where's my glass of Dom Perignon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, where's my glass of Dom Perignon?? Yup, this was one specially modified jet, by a top-secret company in the Mohave desert. It's not only a space plane but it's a STOL too! Is that Dom 1959 sir?

I don't know much about champagne but I am wine commonsewer (pun) but I like only Italian Merlot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The best wine of the lot comes from the engines, but it can still give you a head and earache. Maybe you were making deliveries to the ISS? Even glowing brakes, PMDG never thought anyone would be pulling the stunts with their 744 that you are Jack. What next? Landing on the Mariana Trench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 A natural aerobat. Perhaps bigger engines, clip the wings (less flex) and a smoke system - you'll have the first air show act with a B747. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDX Flyer Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 You are setting the bar pretty high Jack. After these shots, combined with your bridge antics, I am not sure how you can top yourself. Well, I guess there is always the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colbert Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Oh, your poor planes, Jack!!??!! I'm too scared to try such stunts, even in a sim - just landing at Concrete or Darrington is enough to make me nervous. But I sure like seeing your adventures! Fun!

Landing on the Mariana Trench Good idea Martyn! Nah, I think I'll keep to more saner flights. Occasionally I like to try things just to see if they can be done. After all, I used to do a lot of beta testing and I'd make some programs go through some pretty crazy things to ry to break them. 12 hours ago, olderndirt said: A natural aerobat.

If they flew that first 707 upside down at Boeing I guess it can be done with a 747. I mean it used to carry a 101 ton space shuttle on its back. 11 hours ago, PDX Flyer said: You are setting the bar pretty high Jack.

Um, what else? 5 hours ago, paulb said: LOL Jack! They will be retiring your aircraft soon because of stress cracks! Thanks Paul, I agree, they won't be "cycled out" if I keep up these antics. And if I had turned on failures in this PMDG beasty I reckon it would have been a lot worse. But all in all it's fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
