Jack Sawyer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 So I decided to make a 777 flight from Heathrow to Bilbao. I looked it up, Bilbao has a long enough runway to handle a 777 so I made the flight, it was awesome. Orbx Global, Europe L/C, Vector, Trees, LEBB, England, Adam's PTA, REX TD HD, AS4 on, PMDG 777, UT Live, and much much more! Again, sorry for so many, I'm not as good as Gerold with narration unless I'm flying around Atlanta. Followed the SID & STAR and made an ILS autoland. Brilliant! After altitude restriction, throttles up and climbing to FL300 Going to overfly LEBB for the KARMA transition so the A/P will turn us around. Very beautiful Spanish countryside here! One for Stewart! Overall it was excellent. Not a long flight, about 90+ minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Fantastic sceneries below you in London, England and the Pyrenees, jack. Great flight, and I can understand your enthusiasm if all goes well with such a complicated bird. Plus: Thanks for your compliment. Don´t forget all the others that add lots of local knowledge here, Martyn surely is one of the more prominent ones but I love to read from many others, too!

It's a wonderful plane, all you really have to do is figure out the weights and the plane does the rest, can get boring watching the screen waiting for TOD and then adjusting your altitude. But quite the learning curve which I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Excellent flight Jack and I recognise Portland and Jersey on your flight. Great views out of LHR with some more recognisable features that I noticed. Hats off to you for mastering such a complex plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That is a super series of shots Jack! You seem to have got your settings just right. I am impressed too by the perfect landing. Well done my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Very nice Jack. Good work with the triple 7, lots of system management there. Bilbao sure is a nice scenery package too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 All the way from London to Bilbao and never inverted - Airlines can be so fussy. Really liked the belly shot just above touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks cool from that height and you can barely make out the trees turning. 13 hours ago, paulb said: That is a super series of shots Jack! You seem to have got your settings just right.

It's all done with autoland, this has to be the easiest PMDG plane to fly but there's always something new to learn. 13 hours ago, Sniper31 said: Very nice Jack.

And I agree, LEBB is amazing. 11 hours ago, magic1 said: Nice shots Jack!

I'd have to shut off the flight control computers for that but if I did the passengers wouldn't like it. 9 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Wow, wow and wow Jack. Fantabolous shots. Awesome scenery.

And I agree, LEBB is amazing. Jack, I feel you on the enjoyment of aircraft and systems management, I just have gone down a different path as I get into those systems via A2A aircraft and their systems. It's hard to pick favorites, but I really love the Accusim B-17 and managing all her systems, but alas, she is not yet ready for P3Dv4. I have been seriously looking at the A2A COTS Connie for several weeks now, and I will probably be getting that one soon. Anyhow, your handling of that 777 is impressive and it's good to see you flying, as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trained in modern avionics for decades, I did however cut my teeth on steam gauges when I worked F-111's. But learning all those gauges on the Connie or B-17 is another story entirely. Those guys really had their hands full, I have a lot of respect for what they accomplished back then. If you buy the Connie, you'll love it! You will grace our Orbx lands with the most iconic and beautiful planes ever. 31 minutes ago, Iain Emms said: Splendid set indeed. cheers Iain Thanks Iain!
