Jack Sawyer Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Orbx Global - North America, South America - Vector - Trees - PMDG 777 etc. A little heavy on gas! "Terrain Terrain!" Oops, these South American hills are very high! There must be a glass floor in parts of the jetway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic1 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 All very nice Jack - but something about the 4th shot kind of appeals to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakashi Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 TAM, those are nice shots Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJohnJohn Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Impressive Jack. I like the 777, but just not sure on that price tag. Maybe after I'm done my exploring in the GA side of flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Glorious series Jack and must have been a wonderful flight. Those hills are high, as I mentioned to someone else my C-46 was working very hard to get over them on a flight heading west out of Bogota the other night.

Iain Emms Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Fine set of shots. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickel Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Very nice. I found you a shorter leg while hunting for routes for me: KLM hops over the hill from Santiago, Chile to Ezeiza, Argentina. Only a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
European Mountain Man Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Very nice set of screen shots Jack like the aircraft and the livery regards stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Very nice set of shots, Jack. I'm glad someone else sees two control towers next to each other at KMIA. I always thought it was a glitch, since I have double towers sometimes, but perhaps there are really two towers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, South America is totally different that almost anywhere else on Earth. It seems like everything Is above 10K feet! 5 hours ago, Iain Emms said: Fine set of shots. cheers Iain Thank you Iain! 5 hours ago, Mickel said: Very nice.

Juanvito Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Nice shots! I have to check out OpenLC-ed Colombia a bit more. Also look at the local jetway design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used PFPX. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/KLM701 https://flightaware.com/live/flight/KLM702 I use Flightaware for all of my leg planning for current stuff. For ye olde aeroplanes I use: http://www.timetableimages.com/ I've used this to sort out where to fly the Panair do Brazil Connie, and various other Connie, DC-6, Stratocruiser etc routes. For less ye olde aeroplanes I use: http://www.departedflights.com/ I use this one a lot for finding DC-9, MD-11, BAe-146, 737-200 etc flights. I guess I'll have to use it for the 747-400 when I get that too... All the legs I pick out go into PFPX, then I use it to plan (or copy the RW route if it's available from flightaware). I put the airline and aircraft type in the 'Schedule Remarks' so I know what I should be using it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 I see Mickel, that makes perfect sense as PFPX gives some really weird routes sometimes. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
