Jack Sawyer Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 So yesterday I struggled with the A320 tutorial and made "a" flight to Copenhagen. I learned a lot of things, I know basically nothing about non-Boeing airliners. On approach, either I didn't have the throttles in the proper detent or spiky throttles, I had to do a go-around. Then I ran out of gas and landed on a road, not shown. But it was interesting and I have a lot more to learn. Still, a wonderful plane and I've never been to Copenhagen in the sim, this is Orbx's Europe LC and Global and everything else they make so I was quite pleased with the scenery.

Stillwater Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Good to see you turning away from the dangerous effects from time to time, learning these complex planes is a nice challenge in my eyes. In addition, you chose a nice routing, though approaching CPH can be a bit confusing. Two things regarding the Oresund bridge: - You should deactivate some levels of bridges in your Vector configurator, at least the "highway bridges". This should get the lower bridge out of your last shot. - Then you should consider the freeware bridge http://fsdg-online.com/free-stuff/30-oresund.html . I am sure people who like bridges like this one, too. 11 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: Then I ran out of gas and landed on a road Only one comment possible...

Thanks Gerold, I've been meaning to do some "serious" flight for a while, but I get sidetracked by "challenges" But I love it. Yes, it was very confusing, I tried to go around and would have made it too. Can you tell me exactly what all the boxes need to be unticked in Vector? Do I need to keep then unticked all the time or only for this area? Never having been there I would have never known about the bridge issue, thanks for the pro tip! I'll look at that freeware bridge right now, but if it's too confusing to install I may not do it. And yes, I hit the road, it was a good landing but I was on less than fumes, my engines actually shut down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure people who like bridges like this one, too. I got the file Gerold, it's an exe, I'm always a little wary of exe's. And it's just a bridge? One very nice bridge I never knew existed until I did this flight. I haven't installed it yet because I don't know if I can uninstall it. But I did untick the two in Vector as you suggested.

Sniper31 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Jack, exciting set of shots of you learning this aircraft. So exciting in fact, that in several of those shots it looks like you are being shot at with AAA...I mean, are those small white puffs in the air clouds? Or, are they flak bursts because the authorities below suspected that there was a potential risk of exposure to many of their citizens to the Sawyer Effect. One has to wonder....

That was the tutorial, no weather engine so it was just default, not even Orbx weather. Next time I'm gonna have an Orbx weather theme. My tired old PC might not handle AS4 with this plane, not sure. I thought the same thing too, but not flak, they were congratulating me on my amazing feats of derring do and sent up cotton candy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wonderful series of images Jack and it would have been interesting to have seen some of your road trip. Well done for learning such a complex aircraft, I find it hard to master the dishwasher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martyn, it was ugly, I literally ran out of gas, dead sticked it onto a road away from the airport. It's one of the best planes I have, very sophisticated and I have a lot to learn but it's really worth it. I like to goof off but I'm really spending a lot of time learning these planes. Oh, and trying to make a comic, darn it, the ones I'm working on now for Sammy are really wracking my brains, both cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sound like you are having a ball Jack, I can learn things today but I would have forgotten them by tomorrow. Mind you there are some things I never forget.
