My first was to Baghdad with the Emirates.

For my first long hauls, I'm debating between these.

EDDF-KORD or KORD-EDDF (Lufthansa paint)

KLAX-RKSI or RKSI-KLAX (Korean Air, once the paintkit is out)

CYUL-LFPG or LFPG-CYUL

NEVER NEVER EVER did, in any M$ flight sim, a panel was able to do autoland...

So..... answered?

17ody · Post by **17ody** » 01 Jul 2010, 12:11

Post by **GaryG** » 01 Jul 2010, 12:43

I will help you out here

As there is no such thing as autoland in any of the FSX or FS2004 models, you CAN perform an ILS landing, which is close...but not the same

If you were performing an ILS landing and you crashed on the runway with your nose down, you probably forgot to extend your flaps, or you were going to fast. Maybe both

If you were not doing an ILS landing, you may want to check your auto pilot settings. Sometimes i make the mistake of not turning off the speed hold on landings

thanks mike for you help, but i already extend flaps and i'm not going too fast..
and i'm sure to check my autopilot, i don't know why my plane always goes too low before reach the runway.

has anyone use simulation rate during long flight?

17ody wrote:has anyone use simulation rate during long flight?

I do, since all of my flying (except when Im just fooling around, or testing) on VATSIM

It is long a boring, but I find other things to do easily.

Wish I could do my first flight but I'm stuck on a beach

Movieman162 · Post by **Movieman162** » 02 Jul 2010, 14:19

Well imam currently doing my first fought if egll to ombd as said and it flies like a dream. I did do a takeoff and fly to Singapore but never landed because I didn't want ti do that fir my first flight and I had not set the aircraft up properly. So here I am on then way to Dubai in real time and weather. Only using 2x compression so I can stare at this beauty for longer

In FS2004 I could get nicely upto 16x. In FSX it starts a violent oscillation above 4x.
Did all the major routes already like Heathrow to Dubai with EK, Singapore to Heathrow with SQ, Melbourne to Kuala-Lumpur with QF. All at FL40 and the PA A380 was a dream to fly.

TFFJ, but don't expect to be able to get an A380 in there.

Mine was Sydney Australia to Singapore in the QANTAS paint... Can you imagine what is flying over ORBX scenery all over Australia? It's astonishing at 38000 feet, especially overflying the desert!

airplan3z · Post by **airplan3z** » 29 Jul 2010, 02:41

My first flight with this aircraft, KJFK - LFPG in the Air France paint. No time compression or slewing. I just sat there, for 8 hours. It was boring -_-

But landing it was easy, nice and smooth.
