European Airlines Afternoon Flight Between Denmark and Germany

[flightsimg]

With the pandemic confinement keeping, or less, here and there in Europe along my European Airlines routes, I'm flying what I can. Here a short hop in the afternoon between Copenhagen Karstrup EKCH, Denmark and Franfkurt am Main Aiport, EDDF, Germany. Few passengers, a fine weather on the other hand!

 

 

 

Pushback at Carstrup. Finally much planes there!

 

 

 

One ahead of us to line up and takeoff

 

 

 

After takeoff (oops! we had forgotten the landing lights)

 

 

 

On the climb over the islands of Denmark

 

 

 

Reaching to Germany and about level at FL240

 

 

 

More weather as we approaching TOD

 

 

 

Descending now to Frankfurt!

 

 

 

Pax view on the descent

 

 

 

'Approaching minimums!' to rwy 25R at Frankfurt, EDDF

 

 

 

Tarmacs mostly void there!

 

 

 

Closing to our assigned gate

 

 

 

Parked! Our next step, and last for today, will be back to our hub in Brussels, Belgium

 

 

-- that European Airlines flight with:

.boxed FSX Gold Edition with the Acceleration Pack

.my plane, a Cantu/Kittyhawk Boeing 737-200ADV I tweaked under several aspects, and made liveries for; using the ENBSeries for FSX freeware to improve light bloom from inside the flightdeck, the pax or outside views

.some miscellaneous freeware improvements (tarmac textures, pax window view, and the like with some airport aprons, taxiways and runways improved by me from the FSX default) and the airports I flew to/from improved with photoreal textures through the freeware FS Earth Tiles software

.people on the tarmacs, my creation with personalized default FSX people

.weather with http://www.plane-pics.de/fsxwx/home.htm FSXWX

.the freeware shader adjuster rdart78 and textures set

.flightplan with the FSX tool, or partly with the https://www.simbrief.com/ simBrief site

.flight doc accordingly, or not :) --

Nice flight G'erard! But I found out long ago, even for simming, a checklist is nice to have and use. That's also a very impressive set of freeware you're using.

Great job Gerard, very nice flight and pics. :cool::cool::cool:

Awesome flight and narrative. I have to agree with Michael about the checklist. In the Baron and my last three landings, I almost forgot the gear because I was doing straight in approaches, no patterns or ILS so no cues except when the “idiot light” glows on the panel when the flaps are extended!

Thanks Rupert, Jan and DAVIDSTRAKA!

 

Sure that if our aviator predecessors invented checklists, that was not for nothing! :):) And like my instructor told me: 'The air is a medium unnatural to man.'

 

Rupert: yes, that's my philosophy since I went into computers and Internet -- and not only the FS franchise!! If all that is free, why should it have turned paying! :):)
