paulk Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Some lovely shots there of the finest airliner there has every been (in my opinion). Also managed to fly on it several times over the years. Was concerned it may cause a bit of a performance hit on my PC. May I ask how it handles compared to other aircraft. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. @Paul - you were flying safely with the fire protection on those big RR Engines - designed and manufactured by my company I haven't flown it yet but just sitting on the runway at Heathrow - my FPS is around 50% down but my PC is a lot less powerful than yours @Landon no not yet still reading the manual - but after watching this bloke - my confident is climbing - https://youtu.be/9OJBDWx5ccw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 What are your PC specs if you don’t mind me asking. I’ve worked on many aircraft over the years, which fire protection company did you work work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I5 940 - 16 ram - 8k Radeon570 - normaly 45FPS on average Graviner - I was MD Australia - Pacific region - covered just about everything built by British - and Quite few American via my West Coast Subsidiary - so every time you see red button on the dashboard - it was probably designed by Graviner Edited April 1, 2022 by John Heaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 nice shots John, I remember the first time I saw one on the ground at Heathrow, I couldn't believe how small it was compared to the other planes at the gate...we have one here in Bristol, been to see it several times...

I would have to raid the loft and check the paper course notes (all digital now) gone have the days when you would get 12 massive A4 folders to learn. I think our early 747 and 757 aircraft had them fitted. Systron Donner also popular on many aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
