 |
|
i flew my 787 for the first complete flight i have done in it even though this is only my second time flying this plane.
I also did this in the fsx multiplayer so i had people come and go
so here it is and please comment and rate
I tacken off from Oakland at 11:30am
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takeing off from Oakland intl
Turning right to head out to the pacific
Flying near the Golden Gate bridge at 11000ft
The Carrier near San Francisco
The last part of land till Hawaii
Its just a nice pic.
This was when my mate Craig joined my session
Approuching Hawaii
I don't know what this person was doing but he suddenly went into a dive!!!
Decending to 5000ft for landing im just 60miles out
Now just past the airport to make my approuch
lineing up with the runway
coming on approuch
I just like this pic and also it was raining when i landing and had some cross-wind
Cleard to land
Landed safely at 3:00pm still on san francisco time
I parked well somewhere
This was my mate Craig just landed
even though this was a 4 hour trip i left oakland with 100% fuel and landed at Hawaii with still 62% of fuel left
That showes it can go fare
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for looking also Thanks to anyone who comments and rates.

Very impressive screenshots!!
I have been wanting to ask this question since quite a while, why do the wings flex so much? Is it like that in real life too? I know certain A/C wing's flex but this seems rather a lot and many other 787's in the Gallery. |

Artists concept renderings released by Boeing show that much wingflex. Will it in real life? No one outside of Boeing knows. Somehow, people (including add-on developers) were likewise convinced that the wings had large amounts of curvature built into them and that the wings would look like that on the ground too, but the cat's out of the bag: The public rollout of the 787 this past July showed it with STRAIGHT wings at rest.
The reason they all look like that in the gallery is that there are very few sim releases of 787s out there (maybe even only one), so of course the gallery shots end up much alike.

are you saying the 787 in real life does not have wings like that because thay do thay made it for longer range twine engine plane and the wind going over a curved wing realses more lift and power

Great shots Morris. The 2nd one looked a bit out of wack with the water and land but otherwise 9/10

As much as I know it's not possible to cheaply upgrade your graphics card on laptop. I use one too.  |
