fighterpilot 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi all, I making my 2nd flight out of my VA's new Hub at Miami Intl. Im taking the United 757 on this trip, many bugs but I love to fly this pretty girl! I am in cruise and have just left Florida, will update on the shots in a hour or two, still got 4h, 10min left until I reach LAX. so, on with the shots. Enjoy Lads! Just completed my go-around, going into my cockpit and my co-pilot Dave (DGor) has completed the cockpit preperations. Okay, Passing my Terminal *wonder wich one it is*, quite empty tho, only a US Air 757 and a Continental 737. Here are some others, Delta and Continental. Taxing to Runway 27, not a long taxi as we were standing right beside it. Before Takeoff checklist completed, and the P&W engines are blowing us out of Miami! :ap: Gear coming up and we have a great view of the moon. Gaining up speed to 250kn, goes pretty quick :dance: Oh, big cloud! :ap: Time for the Anti-Ice to get some action. okay we made it throu, was a bit bumpy tho! :blush: Time to turn to "OHOFO". Some turbulens ahead, I guess it's not going to be as bumby as in the cloud we flew into :phew: Got new altitude now, 32,000ft. Contacting Miami Center again... Now turning for "KUBIC", hope the passengers won't get to ill! Got the sea insight now. (anybody know what it has as name?) Got in cruise now, seat belts sign off and giving my passengers a little freedom. Everything looks good for now, finelly I can go to the bathroom!!! More to come... :bday: Link to post Share on other sites

fighterpilot 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 PART 4!! okay, the flight is finished, the only bad thing that the FSAirlines "Client" has quit by itself so this flight wont be recorded in my VA!!! :ap: :ap: anyway, on with the shots than :bday: decending into LAX. From the top. Still decending. Got some headings of the great default ATC, wich makes me and my passengers ill :dance: Flying over the city. Gear and flaps are coming down. on final to runway 25R (Visual). smoothly but smokey. Taxing to gate 171. A Continental 757 took some of my parking area and I got a small gate so I parked a little bit wierd so our wings woulden't smash into eatchother. :blush: parked up and ready for de-boarding, thanks for looking guys! :phew: Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Very nice shots! This 757 must have been one of the worst addon aircraft I've ever bought. There are so many bugs, as you've said, that make it almost unflyable (eg. the ILS isn't working with v2.1) Link to post Share on other sites

fighterpilot 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi panos, I am a little lucky actually, it isen't wrong with my AP, wich makes it flyable to me. ILS and the brakes problem are there, it overturns etc. but I can still fly it but there is one strange bug... my plane only used 5000kg fuel at FL390, that can't be right!!!

I guess you've got the JF version, right? JF's version ships with 757 v2. If you had bought it from CS, you would have got v2.1. This 2.1 fixes the brake issue but messes up with the ILS Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 hm, can you post the text in your [brakes] section in the aircraft.cfg in 757-200 Captain? should have a look and see what I can find of it. Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Here you are: 752: [brakes] parking_brake = 1 //Parking brake available toe_brakes_scale = 0.620 //Brake scalar Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 thanks, I guess my "brakes" problem are solved now :great: Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Lovely shots and a wonderful aircraft, I love it. The panel is quite astonishing. Just as a reminder, ALWAYS keep your heading bug on the MCP the same direction of the aircraft, so that the magenta dashed line on the ND points the same track. You could need it in case of instruments failure. Ciao! Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 forgot to turn it to runway heading at takeoff, and Im not by the computer so much in cruise, most playing my bass. But thanks for reminding me :great: Link to post Share on other sites
