Hmmm.... No comments


Anyways, here are the next two flights. I must comment on the Dreamwings Dash-8. That plane was so unrealistic it was actually funny. It flew like a F-16! That was a pretty bad flight. First I go to takeoff and the thing goes almost straight up from the slightest touch. Then, somehow, my controls got reset to default. O.o I figured out when I used my change view button which had been changed to flaps down. Then having the bad FDE with the Dash and Active Skys sudden wind shifts from 10mph to 39mph the plane nearly stalls.
Ok, enough with my little rant. Here are the shots.

Qantas Flight #513
Brisbane - Sydney
Boeing 767-300




















Qantaslink Flight #2260
Sydney - Lord Howe Island
Dash-8 Q100/200

Ive missed this thread somehow - great pics. Looks like FTX and REX are must buys

[The_Great_North]

These shots are seriously amazing. I absolutely love the 5th shot of the climbout from Darwin. I hope to they put that sort of thing in the FS9 version.

[Chief NWA]

Got two more flights done. Thanks to Private Cowboy for the link to the Sunstate paint.

On the second flight I had to do a go around. I had severe wind shere torwards landing. I couldnt maintain a speed and descent rate so I went around.
PS Technically I have 12 flights left. Then three back to the Tampa. I just got Au Red so I added Alice Springs and Ayers Rock.
