Jack Sawyer Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Well, after a very long day and night yesterday I have SPAD somewhat figured out and all the jets now work with the flight control hardware. Still more fine tuning but I can now make flights. So here's EHAM in TE NL. It was very cloudy at first with AS4 on so I then shut it off so I can see how nice NL looks and it was wonderful, very smooth and nice and that big screen really helps the immersion. Please share my happiness. All hand flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda425 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 A nifty fly out on the Dutch territory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundancer Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nice shots and nice tour North of Schiphol. Luckily no hot air balloons in the vicinity to spoil your manually flown approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Great shots of a little low&slow tour. With an appropriate bird to do so. PS: I can use many procedures from the 777 in the 787 as well. Still trying to adapt, but it looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fred, nope, we were told to try to stay away from airspace but if your drifted in you were asked to vacate as soon as the winds allowed. 2 hours ago, Stillwater said: Great shots of a little low&slow tour.

I have a lot of jets now, the PMDG NGX, 777, 747, TFDi's 717, and the FLSabs A320. That's a lot but I looked long and hard at that 787 and I'm this close to buying it. 2 hours ago, Sundancer said: Dunno Gerold.....flying 191 knots while turning base to final and fully configured for landing Yes, Jack, everything is notified.... Good catch Fred! I was just testing anyway, soon I'll be making more sensible flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see your new PC bringing you some joy at last! Thanks Martyn! I agree, I didn't know it was gonna be so foggy and I wanted to test the PC but not in zero visibility so I shut off the AS4 and then marveled at the view on that screen and all the beautiful NL TE details, I'm very impressed by what I see.

Captain Lars Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Very impressive Dutch & Boeing shots, Jack. The "tire pressure" warning comes from using slew mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lars but I didn’t use slew mode in this set. I think it was hot brakes from taxi and brake testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was hot brakes from taxi and brake testing You must have tested a lot! Iirc, when the tires are flat, it's difficult even to taxi on the apron, how did you manage to get into the air?
