Hey guys,

Heres my second load of screenshots for ya!

This is the first ever night flight i've done in any flight simulator and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy the screenshots as much as I enjoyed the flight!

I am using the Captain Sim 757 Base Pack with the British Airways livery. This is the Boeing 757-200.

Gatwick scenery is payware Xtreme Gatwick 2000!

Still accending and flying past Gatwick

"What a lovely night..."

Cruising and heading towards Ireland

Just admiring the beautiful paintjobs the Captainsim team make!

Virtual Cockpit view, still crusing at 11,000 Feet

Another engine view... I swear this is my favourite view!

Reaching the coast near Manchester/Newcastle

Lovely moonlight shimmering on the Irish sea

I believe I decended to 6,000 feet here and began vectors to final

The other wing view, theres a nicer one of these soon Wink

Full flaps and gear down

Turning to final, beautiful eh?

I was crusining at 11,000 because my judgement of time is rubbish. I thought it was gunna take 30 minutes tops and in the Rome to Naples mission you fly at 11,000 feet. I will fly higher next time Razz

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ok thanks cheeks.

One question about using autopilot which uses the GPS. I select the approach and load it. Then when im heading to the way point just before the destination, am I meant to activate approach or activate Vectors-To-Final? I've found that when I use approach it brings me in on a steep turn and gives me literraly 10 seconds to land before going past the runway. Whereas on this flight, I activated Vectors-To-Final far out and I got lined up with the runway and landed perfectly.
