There's just something about San Francisco

[djfierce]

Haven't played FSX in ages, but here we go. The screenshots end because my computer ran out of memory. Oh well. Do I know what I'm doing? Not really. Do I have a clue how to truly fly this bird? Naw, not really. But who cares right? It's fun to pretend.

 

FSX-SE

Denver to San Francisco

QualityWings 787-10

United Airlines (new livery)

Stock Scenery

WAO traffic

 

Approaching the Sierra's, with Lake Tahoe hiding in the back.

 

Descending into "The Bay"

 

One last check of the approach lights...

 

Oakland in sight

 

 

Anyone else miss baseball? By a strange coincidence my wife was watching "Money Ball" while I was doing this.

 

 

 

 

 

Part two up next....

Does anyone use these HUD's? I find them distracting, but maybe they are meant solely for night or low vis?

 

 

 

That true SFO experience. Where the hell is the runway? How high are we? Does the captain know what he's doing? I wish that kid would quit screaming.

 

TOUCHDOWN, SAN FRANCISCO!!

 

 

Holding short between the parallel's like a sandwich.

 

Everybody out of the pool!

Those are some great shots. That plane is awesome especially the panel. :pilot: I never cared much for using a HUD. The fighter jets I fly have them and I just have to deal with it.

Thanks David. And yes, the panel in this bird is simply amazing. If I could figure out why the AP randomly disconnects I'll be set!

Very nice group of shots. I especially like the cockpit shots. :cool: :pilot:
