HoggyDog Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 After battling numerous FSX-Steam "issues" and trying in vain to fix the default 747-400 Nav Lights :mad: I finally set off on an IFR flight plan from Miami International to Princess Juliana International. Since the destination is in the Netherlands Antilles, I decided it would only be appropriate to fly the trip in a KLM airplane. I flew the entire trip without slewing or changing the sim rate. A senior member here *cough*mrzippy*cough* had just made this trip because I had mentioned in another thread that I was trying to fix my 747 Nav Lights to fly it, and he felt it necessary to rub salt in my wounds by claiming to have nailed a perfect landing. FIGHTIN' WORDS! Challenge accepted! :D So without further ado, here is documentation of the final 4-5 minutes of this epic flight. About 5 mile final on the visual, cleared to land About 3-mile final, still looking good *fingers, toes & eyes are now crossed* Numbers! OMG, this could actually work! :rolleyes: PAYOFF! :pilot: Big dirty bird! Nosewheel smoke, flaps 30, spoilers up & full reverse thrust! It's enough to bring a tear to your eye! Rollout Back taxi, cleared to ramp Clear the Active Cleaned up and Shutdown!! :D :pilot: :cool: *flex* These screenies looked a lot better before I had to reduce them from 1920x1080 to meet forum limits, but still, they don't look too bad reduced. i7-10700K @3.8-5.1GHz, 32GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM, GTR-2060 Super 8GB, 2x SSDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoggyDog Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Lookin' good! Is that the default or updated Juliana? Default... there's an updated version?? Just got a prettier Juliana. New terminal and all... Nobody hanging on the fence, though. Pity, I wanted to back an F4 up to it and light the afterburners. Whee! Les touristes flambées! Sadly, the surrounding textures (grass, beach, roads) are still just vague and washed-out looking. There's a 2-file photo-real addon for the entire island, but it's Gigabytes big and I have all my games on a 264GB SSD, which doesn't have much room left. i7-10700K @3.8-5.1GHz, 32GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM, GTR-2060 Super 8GB, 2x SSDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
