Stillwater Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 UT live did a great job a Shanghai Pudong, presenting the Scandinavian A340 at exactly the right (real) time. As there is no decent A340 for p3d yet, we will have to simulate this flight in a 777. A near miss, but a pleasure. Thanks to the cabin crew, I could get a proper documentation of the flight preparations in the Airbus. Waiting for pushback. Some big colleagues heading home (the United 747 probably in the opposite direction than the Lufthansa below)... ... while UT live presents a challenge to me. SK998 is being pushed back simultaneoulsy. Taking off from 35R, SID PIK12D. This SID means a great city tour for all passengers sitting A... ... but you can see the cityscene technology has not yet arrived in Shanghai. Hongqiao airport below... And there is one other thing we still have inconsistencies while simming: The dessert is served without discussions in RL. Hours later, after turning from north to west and away from the moon... ... we arrive in Russia, over the Burjatia region. Sibiria... ... with frozen lakes and gas fields (you can see the flames), ... ... though I had set Vector without frozen water, unfortunately. Over many hours we flew into the sunset, always chasing the sun... ... and thanks to the purser, he made this wonderful work with my camera. Here we arrive over Sweden, where OLC shows its advantages. The Oresund and Denmark in the distance, the southern tip of Sweden below. On final into the 22L we see Copenhagen to the right... ... and the Oresund bridge to the left. All is set for landing... ... seems to work well. As does UT live, once again. Thinking back, we can praise what we have with all the ingredients for simming - and what we have lost: The OOMs, I mean. BTW: Sorry for so many pictures. But they were collected in two 11 hour-flights, so you can say I was already selective...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Top class set Gerold and it is good to see you are able to get some great photos at Pudong.

I could contaminate this forum with photos of airports or out of (dirty) plane windows, but these cockpit shots are rare treasures. I classify airlines into cooperative and non-cooperative, but the voting is not closed yet. 16 hours ago, Captain Lars said: A wonderful set of screenshots Gerold, accurately arranged and confronted with their real world counterparts.

Quite some work to arrange it, and you never know how the "real" weather will develop during a sim flight. 15 hours ago, adambar said: Great post Gerold, I enjoyed them all!

Thaks, Jack, the cake was lovely and the cheese selection really stylish. Should I post you the starter, the main course, the ice cream, the nuts as well? Or the evening snack?

Sadly TG and SQ don't allow photography on take off or landing, indeed soon after pushback with TG photography is banned. The good old days of visits to the cockpit are long gone never to return so you were very lucky to get these gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 But why on earth do you need three forks and two knifes for one slice of bread with shrimps.......or were the shrimps still alive Cheers Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Food fight......................food fight. 1. Animal? Vegetable or Mineral?! The shocking food we get on TG now. The cheese and roll were good but three of the last 4 TG flights the "food" has been dreadful. The last meal on the way home was actually very good but I had changed my menu to vegetarian. 2. This is more like it, the food is better on terra firma at Takhli. 3. A small restaurant in Tak Fa, absolutely delicious and for me exceptionally cheap. 4. Breakfast in Takhli, Moo Bing and Kow neow!
