Jack Sawyer Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 In my continuing flights from Orbx to Orbx airports I made this 737 flight from Monterey to Tahoe. It was a success until I shut down and tried to open the doors. Even on a brand new powerful PC P3D stopped working. Total disappointment. But it was beautiful flying to and from these airports. And as always, sorry for so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Great shots Jack. Would be interested if your P3D stops again. I am troubleshooting PC issues re P3D/Win7 TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I can see why your rig crashed Jack , it takes a lot of effort to open AC doors . I mean I watch those young little Stews struggle with them every time I fly . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triplane Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I've done that flight in RL Jack. Maybe 7-8 times. But (there is always one of those) I did mine in a C172. You're right about the scenery...it's absolutely the best. The good news is that I was able to do that many years ago (and the doors opened)...the bad news is that I now live in Florida with a medical issue and will never be able to experience that again.

Sundancer Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Beautiful flight Jack. It must be wonderful to fly on such a wide screen. I like the go around procedure in #14, very sharp steep turn to the right, due to terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I began to realize how lucky I've been to have flown at all. When I think about all the folks who have never slipped the surly bonds of earth I realize just how good my life has been. I got my ticket at KMRY (Del Monte Aviation) almost 60 years ago. Back then Cessna has a PPL course that guaranteed a license or your money back. The cost?.....USD$600.
