Jack Sawyer Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I never knew how close London was to Amsterdam, only 136 or so miles. Clouds and rain most of the flight. P3D 4.1 - PTA - All Orbx - UTL - AS4 - Flight1 B200 - Realtime - 4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always amazed at this. To me it just seems bigger in area. I have some appointments that I go to regularly that re 130 mile round trips! 4 hours ago, Sundancer said: You were here a few days ago, remember? Lost the cruise ship?

VH-KDK Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Top class set from your flight Jack. It was a good idea to make the short hop over the water to visit the brewery. I am glad you didn't bottle it in that bad weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny....for an Canadian and American this looks so close and absolutely you are completely right, but for the Dutch (at least for myself, won't generalize) this is not the case. There is the 200 km wide Northsea between NL and UK at this longitude, which does not give the feeling that it is so close. (200 km is quite a distance, isn't it ) Crossing the Northsea in an airliner takes 15 minutes, while in a sailboat it takes me 18 hours -Fred- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoroos Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Nice shots ! yeah, it is a hop I love doing just some little Vatsim training! WHich aircraft / addon is that? does it have navigraph etc? And what approach did you use? You landed on 06.. but you flew over Flevoland? The weather isn't great for seeing the scenery though.. typical .. default themes it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know offhand, but I wonder how The Netherlands compares in size to a state here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way your landing gear are on fire. Anthin. Thanks Anthin, hopefully soon there'll be a little excitement in one of my flights The wasn't smoke it was the rain effects on the runway. Don't know if it's that famous bug where you carry the rain splash with you the entire flight from London or just wet at Amsterdam. 6 hours ago, adambar said: Superb flight and shots once again Jack!

This is Flight1's B200 for P3D 4.1. Not sure how to use Navigraph in this plane, I think you can but when I run Navigraph this plane isn't in the list. I forget the named approach but yes, I overflew the airport for al ILS 06 landing. It was cool because it brought me out over the water then around for the landing. I was using real weather AS4, I hardly ever fly without it unless I want to take screenshots and it's 100% cloud and dense fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to me that's pretty small, I thought it was much larger. No wonder I can fly from one end to the other in no time. But still, I think it's a very fine Orbx region and look forward to more and it would be nice if they created some airports for this region too.
