Stillwater Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I started this trip already before our travel focus was readjusted towards Africa... but I´ll finish and post this virtual holiday before I go on to the motherland. Let us first put on some music, as these are going to be some red-eye flights... Not much to see when we start with Swiss 815 from Hanover (departure at 20:45 h) ... ... to Zurich, ... ... terminals A. After changing to terminal E and from Airbus to Boeing, we are ready to board Swiss 176. Departure time is 22:45 h, we´ll have a quick drink before trying to sleep! The day starts over Afghanistan, proving how a sim looks like with no descent landclass. The Indus river in Pakistan. Hours later we descend along the Malaysian coast... ... and next to Malakka city. Typical clouds build up near the Equator... ... and keep the airport hidden while entering into final. The classical afternoon rain around 5 pm... ... at Singapore. Time for a shower and another flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know (from Madagascar...) that night shots only show a bit of the fascination - but I had no choice, as I followed the real flight plan. So I am glad you like them!

Captain Lars Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Singapore was really your best investment, it seems. Very nice flight and I'm glad that some of the landclass pics are from Asia, not from Africa (I looked at the pictures before reading the description). Well done.

Singapore always is a good investment, also when you are flying into the region in reality. The limits of no-landclass are really obvious in Asia, and that pain is not getting smaller. I am unsure if I will follow the business models rumouring around MSFS2020, so I´d trust what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we fly these distances in real life, why not try it in the sim... and I share the plane with @Captain Lars ! Nevertheless, some really looong flights are done these days to bring stranded travellers back home. For example this one with our beloved 777: https://onemileatatime.com/austrian-airlines-australia-flight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
