CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well, it has been a long time since I have posted shots, mainly due to my FS dying, and having to re-install everything. At least now I have a couple of Boeings back on, some WoAI, and some scenery. And now for the flight. A quick hop in the LevelD 767-300ER, in British Airways colours, from Heathrow to Rome. And here is the new scenery. UK2000 released their new Heathrow scenery on 1st November. Needless to say I downloaded it straightaway. I'l let the screenshots do the talking now. Customary shot of the flightplan, passing over Paris and the Alps on our 2 hour hop. Pushing back from the gate. Taxiing away from T5, we quickly get caught into the queue for Runway 09R. This addon has a excellent AFCAD, with utilisation of the runways exactly as in real life. A lucky spotter gets a quick shot in as we hold behing a Lufthansa bound for Hamburg. At the front after a quick 10 minute wait, waiting for the Lufthansa to begin it's take off roll. Turning onto the runway. Last look at the traffic behind us before we start the Chrono. Lined up and accelerating. Lifting off, a rare BMI colour scheme below us. A last look at Heathrow, ANZ, SAA, JAL and BA can all be seen down there. Powering up as we turn South. All cleaned up, a brilliant blue sky above us. Turning for France. Crossing the sea as we bid farewell to the UK. The Sun starts to set as we climb. Our nose is over France as we contact French ATC, or more precisely, Brest Centre. The dying sun cast a lovely glint on our plane as we cruise over France. Dark now, and a little cloudy as we cruise. Over the Alps. And crossing the border into Italy. Turning to follow the coast down to Rome. The moon reflects off the Med as we fly over a Coastal city. Descending The lights come on as we pass 10,000 feet. The flaps are lowered as we take a last look at the sea. Turning base. On approach, autopilots off, this is a manual landing. Passing the threshold of 34L. Down and slowing. Taxiing in. Parked up, passengers are getting off. And finally, shut down with an Aerolinas Argentinas A340 and a Korean Air 747 in the background as a BA A320 taxiis back to Heathrow. Link to post Share on other sites
