Stillwater Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry, I have to interrupt my Tassie experience for a little winter flying - before my RL shots get outdated. So I joined Swiss International Airlines on their 777 training program from Hanover to Zurich. Get ready for boarding... ... here we go, Rwy 09L today. This time I got a beautiful "BTW" seat... ... but I had to climb out of the plane to get a better view of Zurich. Limited views, ... ... sometimes ok for the tourists, ... ... but a challenge to fly. Finally the runway comes in sight. Time to slow down... ... and turn to parking. Grüezi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Gerold I am somewhat disappointed that you did not climb out on the wing to get a better view and shot . Other than that small issue , I did enjoy your RL/Sim post . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farman Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Outstanding, really awsome images. Which one, CaptainSIm, or PMDG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It is funny what you think you are going to see when you read the title. I expected to see an RAAF Pilatus flying around Tas but this was a most pleasant surprise as the 777 is always so pleasing to see. The usual excellent RL/FS shots also interesting to see how the gubbins in the flaps and spoilers are so well replicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDX Flyer Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Super idea on the comparison shots. Sorry, but Flight Sim was edged out by the real world shots. But by just barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John I told them I need to make some outside shots for posting on Orbx, but the charming cabin crew wouldn´t let me go. 14 hours ago, farman said: Outstanding, really awsome images. Which one, CaptainSIm, or PMDG? PMDG, the full workload for me. Except GSX is not working in Hanover for the 777, as there is no gate position officially suited for heavies . 13 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Stunners Gerold!

You know it is a bit of work, as you need to find good & comparable perspectives. 12 hours ago, VH-KDK said: It is funny what you think you are going to see when you read the title.

Also very pleasing to see the 777 so frequently on our local airport. And I am with you, the level of detail in the sim (like the plane in this case) is fascinating. 11 hours ago, PDX Flyer said: Super idea on the comparison shots. Sorry, but Flight Sim was edged out by the real world shots. But by just barely. To be honest I also got confused on "which is real, which is sim", as I have some more real (but blurry) pictures that I have redone here (e. g. #3 turning onto the runway) - and I need some time to find out which one is posted here. 9 hours ago, Orbxtreme said: It's as real as it gets.
