Jack Sawyer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Flight testing and setting up cameras and getting a feel for this gorgeous plane. FLSlabs, it cost me a lot but it's well worth it. Looking forward to learning this. Really cool reversers, never seen anything like it in my career, I like them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Erik. this was with I reckon a full fuel load, no FMC set up, just get in and fly a circuit. I have a long way to go in learning an Airbus, too used to Boeings. I have to rethink things, and learn a ton of new acronyms, but some people like one thing I like study level, well, part of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John I saw that and was actually thrilled John. I was just messing with it, setting up cameras and I have to tell you, this is an amazing piece of programming. From a former technician I can appreciate what they did. They claim they incorporated all the wiring, terminal strips, diodes, resistors, and AIRINC data into it. Astonishing. They’re like the Orbx of aircraft companies. Why do I like these study level planes so much? Dunno, maybe I’m just airplane crazy. DAL is replacing all the Mad Dogs with 320’s and I see a lot of them every day now. SO much quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Excellent set with your beautiful new plane Jack. Very lucky those departures didn't scratch your shiny new paintwork. Good luck with learning it too, a wonderful pastime that has something for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice set Jack Your thoughts on the A320 so far? I am waiting for Leonardo's Mad Dog for v4, as are a lot of folk. Blow out a few windows!

It's complicated but once I get to know it I think I'll like it because Airbus really knows how take the workload off the pilots. I like the autopilot and other avionics in it. Since I never worked our A320's I have to really learn a lot. But is it worth it, yes by all means. I wanted this plane very badly but wanted all the Orbx airports first.
