BillD22 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Here are some shots of an American Airlines A320 taking off from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH) in Houston, Texas this morning using the RW weather reported as: Visibility 1/4 mile in fog and mist, ceiling obscured with thunderstorms in the area. Turning onto fog shrouded Runway 15L for takeoff. Cleared for takeoff. As we accelerate down the runway right at rotate there's a blinding lightening flash directly ahead of us that lights up the whole cockpit. We're o.k. - positive rate - gear up! Climbing out into IMC. Starting to get above it. But not out of the woods yet - more cloud to cloud lightening just off the right wing. Turning on course on the ND. Looks like clearing ahead. Leaving the bad stuff below. Edited January 24, 2021 by BillD22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfierce Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Looks great Bill! Those clouds are amazing. I need to spend more time understanding this bird, particularly in learning the FMS and basic flight dynamics. Just feels rather slow to respond to input from the joystick. As of now it's beautiful, but frustrating. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engine70 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Great shots, Bill! I know real world pilots may not like it, but I always enjoy having challenging weather in the sim.

Thanks Chris. Yes - it's a whole lot less stressful and hazardous to your safety looking at it on a monitor than than in the RW!! :D:pilot: Edited January 25, 2021 by BillD22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankees Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I like the atmosphere in that first shot! Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
