Jack Sawyer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tutorial flight in the PMDG 777 - Maldives to Dubai, long flight and it went perfectly. I'd show all but the landing was not in Orbx territory. What a plane this is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Wonderful set Jack but doesn't the non OLC scenery look sad. We have been spoiled. Skilful flying in the 777 and some impressive looking scenery in the distance coming into Dubai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martyn, yes it does but even if Orbx did a LC here, I don't think there's much to work with as it's all sand! Yeah, this plane is amazing. Going to do some South American flying with it but I need to find a good city pair down there, I don't know much about South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickel Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Nice pics. I remember that trip well. Miami-Bogota. :-) Can fly the LAN Cargo freighter on that route. I'm looking forward to Addis-Jo'burg in the Ethiopian 77F when OLC Africa comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruudmeij Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Nice shots Jack and it is a desolate area with most of the sand and dust so even ORBX can't do wonders here. Cheers, Ruud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, nice shots again :-) I fly around there quite often too. Just recently got HEMA Airport in p3d v4, wich is really neat and not far from Dubai. I thought the same about "only sand there" hehe. Until i bought the Drzewicki Baku scenery. Its baically in the sand too, normally the surroundings look like the ones in Dubai. But then i saw that even in the desert, there seems to be a a lot of terrain variations and other things that are basically worth a look or 2. Sadly ORBX global only has a sand layer in these regions. There would e potential to imrove, tbh :-) Some examples Dubai Baku Near Abu Dabi Abu Dabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradB Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The question I have for you Captain Sawyer ? . Can you fly this plane and land it in RL : Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 I know I could. I've landed many planes in real Level-D full motion sims. Once set up with the A/P I think just about anyone could do it. Just make sure they know how to drop flaps, gear, and set autobrakes and deploy reversers.

JohnnyJohnJohn Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Awesome shots. Yes, Orbx does improve everything that they make new sceneries for! Well done. I need a nice 737 but I don't want to spend that much for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't think there is much room for improvement with just sand, other than cities and towns. But great shots nonetheless Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could have shown the landing but it's not Orbx so such is life. I'm sure they could do a great job in this area like they did in South America.
