Jack Sawyer Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I took off from KBID (yeah I know ) and flew to Boston. Can't show the landing because it's not Orbx but it was very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Great sharp shots, Jack, and congrats for your successful test flight. Some problems would become smaller if the AF1 stays in the air and out of the reach of internet for years, just keep her going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 That was quick! Nice set. I am waiting for the dust to settle at PMDG. What P3D are you on? I read conflicting info - you need P3D v3.4, then download a 747-400 update 1st, [that will only run on v4.3], then download the 747-8. Others said not so. What did you find?

Not really Rodger, I've been making quite a lot of "normal" flights with a friend who is an instructor in the UK. We use FaceTime and I get to learn a lot. I do this kind of stuff because I'm kind of dopey and like to make people laugh, and it's the beta tester in me, I like to do unorthodox things sometimes just to see if I can.

I'm sure Donald's hair would stand straight up Thanks Karl, I wasn't thinking of any president when I did this, I just like the livery. I have a lot of respect for the guys who maintain these jets being in the Air Force and all. They're the cream of the crop in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the -8 because they used a lot of 787 technology in it and PMDG did a wonderful job on it. I love the avionics in it, it really is amazing.

Jack Sawyer Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Just now, TigerTigerM said: 4.3 not 3.4! Yes Too early in the morning. TTM Right, and I can see their point. I liked FSX in that it never need upgrading but the downside was 32 bit. But with LM and their updates I can understand devs only supporting the latest iteration. I like to scan the forums after a new update and like you wait tlil the dust settles and everything I own has been updated and tested. Thank goodness we do NOT have these problems with Orbx. THIS forum is THE place to go for 99% of my information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the best things of being a head of state flying "your own" because military aircraft is that you're exempt from the sealed cockpit rule and can enter the jumpseat whenever you're fed up of the journalists and the entourage in the back.

Yes, Boeing named it the -8 in a nod to the 787. As for sitting in the cockpit if it, I don’t know what the rules are even for a president. No idea.
