I just had to do it mainly because I was having CTD's with the new KSAN, so Matteo helped me and it looks even BETTER! As for the parking garage, well, it was designed for just this type of flying!

Jack Sawyer Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Very cool but I've been a lot closer than that to them taking off and landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John You would have loved some of the things we got to do. I won't go into detail here but it was loud and fun. No one can do that stuff now with all the security though, sadly.

VH-KDK Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Splendid views from your flight Jack, many thanks for thinking of me. Some wonderful flying skills here and a beautifully adorned LH744. I miss seeing them at VTBS but the last planes LH were using there were A346s which are almost as good...… but not quite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome Martyn! And thank you for your nice words. An A346 may be large and have four engines but they're not a 747 unfortunately, the Queen has such an iconic look to it.

It feels like it even in the sim as I have a deep bass speaker and a Buttkicker on my chair so you can feel the roar and rumble on takeoff. I miss seeing these planes.

bernd1151 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wonderful shots, buddy. When I saw the LH livery, I had to check, how many Queens Lufthansa still operates today. Their website says they still fly 32 of them, this includes the 748. Amazing! I don't think that any other major carrier still flies that many of them.

I love the design of that plane and the avionics are so like a 787. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Now you really surpassed yourself, Jack. These shots are smashing. #6 is the best in my eyes. The gear retraction mechanism of the 747 fascinates me to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surg Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Great pics!!! But I gotta ask...how are you getting 53 fps there?! Best balance between performance/quality I've been able to find thus far has me in the high 20s at best.

The gear retraction mechanism of the 747 fascinates me to this day. Thanks Lars! I love watching the gear retraction in flight too, it's amazing how they did this. I've changed many landing gears on big jets in real life and we always jack and retract the gear to test it and it always fascinated me, they were very clever. And they weigh literally tons too. They add a lot of weight to a plane, a huge amount of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That processor is a beast! Are you running Max settings within P3D? Normally, unless I'm flying into LA or NY, I can run Max settings on everything (excepting ground traffic/air and airport traffic of course) but with Autogen distance on Medium and hit up to 70 fps in most places, and usually mid 30s in congested areas like Seattle, Chicago, etc, using all Orbx products available in those areas and Carenado-glass cockpits (which hit framerates as well, I've found). LA and San Diego, however, I have the most issues with - at those settings, I'm in the high teens to very low 20s. For those areas, I have a present which knocks everything down to below max on nearly every setting, which mostly keeps me in the low 30s with the occasional 18 fps stuttering. Just curious...I think I have like 13 presets of just trying to test different settings with various paid and freeware aircraft in various areas. Can always use a 14th. Thanks!

Surg Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I should mention that I use Ultimate Traffic Live for AI aircraft, hence why I have the default P3D air traffic at zero (as recommended)...it has greatly improved framerates since it doesn't load up worldwide traffic like default P3D/FSX. Highly recommend it, even if it is still in Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks Surg! I used to do this but 4.1 broke it so now with 4.3 I can do it again. I max out the same way. I also have UTL but run it at 50%. I love this program because I never liked being alone in the skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about where I have commercial traffic with UTL...private I turned down to 35% but still trying to find a good balance. I agree...not only in the skies but also on the ground! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
