Downwind66 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi Larry, nice pics and storyline! I had to do a second take and expand pic #19 when you stated flaps 68. I'm not familiar with this aircraft but the high flap setting definitely got my attention! Enjoyed them, thanks! - Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightsimg Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 The old Zaventem, in Brussels! For the same flight with my 737-200, I would fly at a FL200, I think :pilot: Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

NMLW Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks for the comments. Jan I like the BEA Red Square. Very crisp and vivid appearance. Rick that panel is by JBK with some gauges by others. According to the tool tips the first flap position is 43 degrees, second is 68 and full flaps 85 degrees. Michael the classic scenery and library object folks do a good job with the details. Gérard I flew into Zaventem on a B-747 in 1970 from New York's JFK.
