Jack Sawyer Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Well, I never like to break rules so I can't show departure or landing because KBOS and KATL are non-Orbx. But I can show the -8's flight between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always step in the garden to watch a 747 flying over approaching EHAM. You can recognize one by the sound of the engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a 747, you always know what that is, that deep bass rumble is unmistakable power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lars, but it’s a pleasure to fly in IFR for me. That 747 just flew on through it to another real t-storm we were having here yesterday.

Very detailed instructions on their website, PMDG I mean, but if you need any help lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Holy mackerel those are some fantastic images Jack, great job! Only ever flew once on a 747 from Chicago to Hawaii.

Hats off to you guys that can fly that heavy (really heavy) iron. cheers Thanks Ray! It's not that hard. You only read need ZFW, amount of gas, and a few other things and the FMC is done. You can have the FMC import a route or do it by hand or even fly to your destination like other planes with autopilot using HDG Hold and ALT Hold. It's cool but there's tradeoffs too. For example at 40K+ feet you don't see many detail until landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 8 minutes ago, Ray Farrugia said: Its the landing Jack - its always the landing cheers You’re right Ray, that made me laugh because it’s so true. With proper airspeed and the plane configured for landing it’s all a matter of vertical speed. But in these big jets with automation it’s all about the sequence of steps for an autoland. Having spent my life working real planes and these systems it comes easy. But anyone can do it. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a plane either in the sim or a jump seat do a full CAT III autoland. It’s amazing. If I can do it anyone can.
