Classic British Flight Sim

No Eddie it's my four days off.

We almost handled it, but Servisair had it.

Maybe next time.

That model looks pretty accurate, even down to the orange ladder going to the flight deck (a very scary climb). Does it come with a good panel?

No, it comes with the default 747 panel and sounds.

But (as always) there is a separate panel available.

Both on Avsim.ru

Its from the same designers who created the wonderful An-124 and Tu-144. Namely, Thomas Ruth and Claudio Mussner.

Very talented people.

And now for the NEMA version

Hi Ian

It's not easy dwarfing a 124.....but that's manages it nicely

You lucky bugger's. I see the african quite a lot down at manston, but the antonov is quite someting. Any ideas as to why they have to hold it so long with the engines spooled up. I notice that an 124''s do it as well.

Hi Slim

To quote the captain of the 124 when she was at Edinburgh last year...

"vee vill eed to old vor 4 minutes at zee end of zu runway.... sis is standard proceedure vor sis aircraft"

I think the controller was a bit perplexed as he somewhat hessitantly replied...oo.ok.

(My Russian typing sounds a bit more like german, but you get the idea)

Hopefully a clickable VC as well?

LOL. When they are in Denver, it's usually 6 minutes on the end of the runway. It's rare they put them on one of the close runways because of that. I've never been able to find out what they're doing during that 6 minutes, but it's kinda cool when they get done and it's in the middle of the night. All you see while they're doing their checks is the beacons (white) and maybe the nav lights (depending on your angle). Since the beacons flash together a lot, from most angles, most will mistake the beacons for a radio tower. But then, when they're ready, all the landing lights, inspection lights, and other external lights come on nearly in unison and suddenly you realize there's a massive beheamouth on the runway and then you hear the roar as it accellerates down the runway at full power. Add in fog, and it's a surreal experience, especially when the plane dissappears into the clouds only a few hundred feet above or just dissappear into the fog.
