Where Are You In The FS World, Right Now?

Just landed in DEN after a 3 hour flight from IAD on a UA 777.

Might go Skiing next - maybe do a CR7 to ASE

Going to do MAN-WAW-WRO on a Bacon E145 and EuroLot ATR72, recreating a journey I did a good few years ago for my brothers wedding.

Then do the reverse in another EuroLot ATR72 and Lot E145.

FSX service UU443

This is my latest flight, using the rather amazing Boeing 737-800 NGX from PMDG.

This flight departed from Bournemouth International Airport on-route to Ioannis Kapodistrias (Corfu) Airport...

Attached is my flight path, minus the SID/STAR.

Initial cruising altitude is FL350 with a step climb to FL370.

A rather unusual airline for this route, an Air Austral (F-ONGA) Boeing 737-89M – what can I say I am a sucker for a good livery!

Just to revive the thread a bit

Doing Icelandair flight from Keflavik to Manchester in the Level D 763, just had a ground speed of 572 with a tailwind of 118kts

currently at 520 with a tailwind of 52kts. Only 1127nm left to go!

Im flying G-ALYP, a plane with a interesting history. The good bit was she was the first Comet to carry commercial passengers, the bad bit was she one of the Comets that crashed 20 minutes after taking off from Rome.

No crashing today though (I hope)

That's nothing compared to the flight around the world along the equator I did in a Cessna 172 together with fellow a.netter jamesbuk... took about a week nonstop

And i thought my 767-300ER 15 Hours flight was to strech the limit of an aircrafts range!

(i didn't have unlimited fuel for that flight - engine nr. 2 shutdown 5 sec. after LAND 3 became green)

Currently running the PMDG 737-800 NGX from EDDL-LOWW

6 nm from ENITA (close to the Germany/Czech Border) ~12 minutes from TOD will be touching down on runway 29 today

Here is a few screens of the departure from Dusseldorf

Next flight will probably be LOWW-LLBG or maybe I'll leave Europe and do either a local or an American flight.

Indy · Sat Dec 17, 2011 4:29 pm

I just landed in IND after flying AMS-IND using a KLM 744. I should say I finally landed safely. I got wise and saved on final approach because this was my first try with a 744 and it takes a little getting used to.

Quoting steffenbn (Reply 16):
(The worst word i know) my fsx just crashed was almost halfway to JFK!!!!!!!

That happened to me twice. After that "save" became as common as changing radio frequencies.

Good to see others doing RTW flights.

I'm still on this one....

Quoting Mexicana757 (Reply 185):
It was tough to decide with what aircraft I wanted to do the RTW trip. So I finally decided on the ATR as I can land at airports I would have never flown into on FS.

My route is wacky. Hope you are ready for it. The longest routes are full of fuel with no cargo and usually just make it to the airport with fumes to run out of fuel while final for landing. So i just glide in and land.
The route so far.

Currently flying a VS A330, at an altitude of 370, M0.825, heading 242 between waypoints ETIKI and 4516N, route LGW - TER.

Been enjoying my 4 weeks off from school with plenty of FSX flying, since I have just about no time while in school. Purchased the NGX the day after my last final on the 14th of December so far have done:

With the 738NGX
MIA-BOI-JFK
JFK-MSP
LAX-PHX-STL
STL-DCA-MIA
MIA-EGE-STL (did this one today) will be heading to DTW late tonight.
JFK-BDA-JFK

with the 737-700
MIA-Flores (Azores Islands)-TER
TER-BCN-LHR
LHR-INN-BCN
BCN-NCE-BCN
BCN-Flores-TER
TER-MIA
JFK-SFJ-JFK
JFK-RDU-LAX

Still have not taken the 737-600 out yet, but I sure am enjoying the NGX what an airplane for FSX.
Also planning on doing STL-Key West- STL soon with the 737-700, the power and diverse capability of the 700 is really something.

817Dreamliiner · Sun Jan 08, 2012 9:42 am

Just flew EGLL - EGFF in G-CIVL, The British Airways Oneworld Logo jet 747-400. She's there having a bit of maint done on her at BAMC. Had to fly in on IFR as the weather was a bit crap, and used the Autopilot for landing for one of the first times. Did flair a little to much as by the time wheels were down we were a way down the runway and by the time I slowed down I went past the last taxiway and had to turn around.

Happy Flying

flymia · Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:35 am

Took a 737-600 out, fun aircraft to fly too. Even though all the cockpits are just about the same for the NGX between the 600 to 900 you can really tell the different between the different planes.
With 600 I flew:
STL-PIT-CRW-JEF-STL
Should get STL to Key West and back done today.

Have a few more flights planned before I have to put the sim away until my next break from school. Planning on SXM, CUN IAD and MIA with the NGX of course. While I may do a few very short STOL flights to Saba and SBH.

Hmm, and I never ever do more than two longhauls a year. Much rather spend my duty day flying to Inssbruck and back

The only good reason/situation for a longhaul is when I study in cruise.

Currently Flying the second half of the QF32 flight SIN SYD on the same plane as yesterday.

One ting inhae about fs, it REALLY needs to sort out the way it handles arriving traffic, there were 10 planes all trying to land at the same time, I had to do a go around and gave up and turned traffic off so I could have a normal landing.

I agree, I really hate when this happens. Another thing that annoys me with traffic is when the ATC gives out approaches to everyone at the same time, one after the other...

flymia · Tue Jan 17, 2012 5:11 am

Quoting lhr380 (Reply 235):

Yep that is annoying. With UT2 you can press Control-A to turn traffic off on approach. However I also use my traffic so depends which add on is running the traffic.

Back to school in the morning so no FSX until my spring vacation. Did a lot of flying almost exclusively with the NGX.
Finished up the last of my flying with Thursday MIA-CUN-MIA-SXM
Yesterday took the Twin otter out and flew to SBH ans Saba some of my best SBH landings I can remember.
Last night did SXM-IAD-MSP in the ngx738 and finished this morning with MSP-MIA 738. Finished the flight with an auto land as during this break was the first time I figured out how to preform a full auto land. I never been big in reading manuals, pretty much have taught myself a lot with from FS200 to FSX over the years but the NGX finally got my reading a bit and got me to do one of the last things that I always have had problems with in FSX. A good 4 weeks of some FSX flying.

Took like 5 minutes to do a read back as ATC gave something like 6 aircraft their landing instructions.....

Best mate came over yesterday and we did LHR MIA LHR Real time.

After takeoff breakfast was served (eggs, bacon, beans, toast coffee and OJ) (mine had vodka in, no booze for the pilot to start with lol)

Good IFE and the flight went well, thought during the flight though there was an ISSUE over Ireland with the autopilot not following the correct track and wanting to fly left turns. Issue sorted and snacks were served halfway cross the Atlantic.

Dinner served 2 hours out which was spag Bol and a good landing made after a slight go around due to stupid ATC. Return went well back to LHR though there were gear issues at LHR when on stand
