Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 ( See also my post at http://forum.mutleyshangar.com/index.php/topic/18638-world-flight-2015/#entry144889 ) There is a 62-page 66,000 word Route Guidance Manual available, which covers all of the Simfest UK World Flight Trips and offers some specific guidance too, and is written by a former BA Training Captain. It's downloadable from the Simfest web site (from this page - http://www.simfest.co.uk/blog/ ) and is an unmissable read if you're into Airliner flying. Peter has put an enormous amount of work into this, and the result is a document with many valuable insights, laced with a certain amount of astringent Captain's humour. The download is free, although you are asked to consider making a donation to their chosen charity — when you've seen the manual, I'm sure you'll think it's worth it!).

hlminx 301 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Very interesting to watch.. The guys are just about to pushback for a flight in the 747 to Hong Kong with MTOW. Wish I could sit up and watch this all evening.. unfortunately, as usual, real life has to take over at some point. Thanks for posting Brian Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I watched the troublesome approach into Tashkent UTTT, scenery problems meant you couldn't see the runway properly. Great looking cockpit! Link to post Share on other sites
Dean33 29 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Great last night departing Hong Kong. 30 minutes taxiing and the banter continues. After a few thousand feet the pilot shouts "sterile cockpit" or in laymans terms shut the f**k up! Can't wait for the next PMDG 747 now - whenever. Dean Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 In that case, Dean, don't whatever you do read this: http://www.mutleyshangar.com/reviews/bc/psx/psx.htm (In common with other World Flight groups, Simfest's cockpit is controlled by PSX, with FSX or P3D used merely as the external scenery generator).
