Jack Sawyer Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Made a flight from KATL to KTPA in the 777 at only 5000 feet so I could see the scenery. Settings were very high, Orbx Global, Vector, N/A, Trees, AS & ASCA, REX TD, no PTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Excellent series Jack. Nothing worse than going on a long flight and being above the clouds most of the way, noticed that you have solved the problem. Plenty of beautiful scenery to see. Wonderful plane and livery too.

Thanks Martyn my friend. That's why I did it this way. I wanted to see the scenery instead way above it like you said. The livery is from Airline2Sim, I bought their training videos and this was included. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Lovely set of shots, Jack. I particularly like the two over the water and the misty ones towards the end. Presumably if you fly Air America you have to disembark via parachute? How does that go down in business class, I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why you'd want to disembark with a parachute? I got this every from Airline2Sim where I bought the 777 training videos, very high quality. 45 minutes ago, oldboy43 said: Hi Jack, beautiful shots, very nice clouds and safe landing.

I thought "Air America" was the CIA run transport outfit in SE Asia in the '60s. Chief pilot Mel Gibson, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least Hollywood. Still some decent stuff around from France, Italy etc. And even the good old BBC is turning into a glorified cheap magazine channel these days, so we may yet join you on the TV abstension.

It was for real! I wonder why a training company like Airline2Sim would do a thing like that? What I like to watch, and don't call me crazy, is YouTube M.I.T. lectures on nuclear physics, quantum physics, astrophysics, calculus, the history of every country on Earth, anything aviation related like building Rolls Royce engines to the A-380 & 747, to all the world's religions and philosophies. I know it may seem boring to some but I like it. Dramas just don't interest me as they're just people like you and me playing, they're not real, to me it's not logical. But hey, that's just me.

Nothing crazy but it will be interesting to see if people know the music related shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I loved it, this is what I did it, I wanted to fly that beautiful plane and see the scenery at the same time. I was only doing 250 kts anyway which is pretty slow for a 777.
