Stillwater Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Time for boarding, but - as you can see - not for a short distance flight... The active is the southern one... Managing the beast in manual mode (and the FTX trees make a great impression)... ... before looking back... and climbing into the clouds. No, I do not go to LOWI like anyone else these days. I just pass the beautiful austrian alps... ... and go a little bit further south... ... to the region around Mt. Ararat. Too many clouds to see the remainders of the Arch. Navigation made easy, but you need to wait a long time with Lufthansas current airshow to get the right pictures. Night lighting in the sim is not perfect in Asia, yet: Much too dark in megacities like this. At least we can follow the approach data... Much too dark is also the virtual taxi, compared to the real one: Now for the lovely immigration procedure, at a time when dozens of international flights arrive. Not the best way to spend the night ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Wonderful FS/RL set again Gerold. Excellent shot climbing out with the vortex and the mountains are spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Agree, great mix of FS and RL. What flight tracking program are you using please? Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dan Thanks, Dan. These shots are indeed the current airshow on board of Lufthansa long-distance planes. It would be much better to get such a simulation on your own tablet, where you could select the perspectives. Not long to wait, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Superb comparison again, Gerold. And yes, I hated the departure times too. 3am from Mumbay or 2:30 am from Karatchi 50 minutes ago, Stillwater said: It would be much better to get such a simulation on your own tablet, When airlines listen to the latest CIA warnings, I'm afraid that in the not too distant future we cannot bring anything bigger than a cp on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Wow, wow, wow Gerold! These are amazing. It's always the highlight of my dreary day when you do these combo shots. And what a life you live! Globetrotting like that. I'm envious to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And always consider the longish ground procedures in those airports, which are overcrowded at these times. That would be a real threat to all business travel if you had to sacrifice your laptop in check-in luggage. And a threat to private travel if your camera needs to go there. Airlines will have to pay a fortune for all those damages, caused by the subcontractors of the subcontracted handling companies, which had been outsourced and subcontracted ages ago in order to save wages. 58 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: Wow, wow, wow Gerold!

Wakashi Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Very innovative post once more. Must be somewhat nice to fly in RL and then turn around and replay that in the sim over Orbx w/o the downsides. Nice post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
