Jack Sawyer Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Well, in the new 787 at EGLL with most sliders maxed and AS4 on I was getting low frames but smooth flying. I love the work they did on this plane, all the switches are round, not those triangly things as in some planes, it seems to be very well done. I had one gripe though, maybe they'll add it in later. The flight control switches aren't modeled so I couldn't fly inverted because the plane overrides it, so they modeled that perfectly. Opinion? A must buy plane if you like the 787, I'm well pleased with it and I'm sure we'll see improvements. I chose EGLL with UTL on because it's a heavy hitter but it performed perfectly. Sorry for so many. Anyway, Orbx Global, England, Europe, heck, I have everything Orbx makes so it's all Orbx. UTL, AS4, REX TD HD, ASCA, PTA. It will do a max climb however just like that real one did at the airshow. Very cool and powerful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I heard in the news today about that crazy BA pilot that went low & slow over London City. Surprisingly he disappeared before the city could be evauated. All BA flights are canceled for the time being for a thorough evaluation of all pilots and the safety procedures. Good that you have taken some magnificent pictures Jack, maybe this helps finding him. PS: I am glad you like the 787, and you got her in the air really fast!

I'll be in the airport bar if they need me. Of course you know they'll just come in and congratulate me? Thanks Gerold, it is well worth it, glad I bought it, what a plane BOeing has designed huh? I love the wings, they look like birds wings. It really is a significant change from the rest of the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, where they showed the passengers crying after leaving the plane? "It was so awful, I thought we are all going to die!!" They have closed all roads leading out of London, and air traffic in whole Europe is said to be delayed for two days minimum... and today's power outage at Hamburg airport, might it have to do with it, too? Well, if they ever going to catch that guy, he is surely going to loose his license for good. And the years in jail that he is facing for the innumerable safety violations that he commited... I almost pity the poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those passengers paid good money for a roller coaster ride and I got special dispensation to do this over London because they know I'm such a suburb pilot! Sarcasm off. Glad you liked the shots Lars, you know how I am, I have to play and test before I fly sensibly else what good is this life if one can't have fun?

VH-KDK Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 An exceedingly enjoyable tour of London Jack. I would take your plane back though if it wont fly upside down. This is a design fault almost as bad as the early Comets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too often but I have the cameras set up this way on all the big jets, it's pretty cool They loved it, they even asked for my autograph and wanted another flight.

If they make those flight control switches work I could, see the FCC's control the logic that simply will not allow the pilot to do anything stoopid like what I wanted to do. Those early Comets, sad, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
