Stillwater Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Starting this flight in Munich I was fascinated by the 787´s cockpit functionality, for example the airport map on the ND... ... or the HUD. And the look of the GES region pack is not bad either. We can spot the Isar river below the plane, and the Alps hiding in the (southern) background. Vienna (my version is not perfectly blended) and the Donau river. The Carpathian mountains - a rare touristic destination. Here we have already crossed the Black Sea, with Turkey´s north coast in the background. Hard to see in the sim (but always fascinating when you fly this route in real): The lights of the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea. Dis is India. Just another million people settlement between Nagpur, Vizak and Bubaneshwar. I can give you real life comparison shots of these cities once OLC Asia is released. Finally we can see the sun rise over Malaysia, ... ... at the Malacca Strait. Well prepared. Autobrake 2 will be more than sufficient. A first look of the plane´s home country... ... with Changi airport showing up on downwind. The turn was close to the airport, so we came in a bit high (too high for the ILS), ... ... so a longer manual approach was required. No panic, as we knew the runway is long enough. Now we´ll have some quality time in Singapore. Would it be great to finally use OpenLC Asia and explore the region! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the variation of planes, from "quick to use" for VFR to these high-level ones. 6 hours ago, BradB said: Warmer for sure Gerold , lovely shots also Sir . Much warmer, John. Unfortunately not on the other side of the screen... 8 hours ago, TerribleT said: Lovely stuff - another route for me to explore! As you know I firmly agree with your final statement Thank you TT. There would be a lot to explore on this route, lower and slower. But only once the final statement has come alive. Ceterum censeo: Asia esse releasam, like Cicero always said. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That warming-up-effect is one of the purposes of flight simming! Unfortunately I can´t show you a city tour, because (as a P3D pilot) I use a 3rd party scenery for the fantastic Singers. 13 hours ago, wain71 said: nice shots there Gerold, I assume that's the QW version? took mine for a quick spin yesterday, really nice plane...enjoyed the flight... Yes Wayne, this is the QW one. They have achieved a lot with this plane, it is really on PMDG level. Great fun. 7 hours ago, bernd1151 said: I have done this flight, like you, a million times. Never get tired of it! Thank you Bernd. Frank S. has already said it: "Come fly with me...", and currently Asia is nearly as far for European travellers as the moon. At least we can do it here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite long, indeed. OK, the autopilot helps a bit. I use Pro-ATC/X and UT live, makes the appearance a bit more realistic. 10 hours ago, boetie said: A great flight Gerold, it's good to go travelling in these times. Cheers Graeme Indeed, travelling would be good, mate. Even if only virtual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
