petermcleland 96 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm getting on well with my Conversion Course and today managed an Autoland at McLeland Field in pretty wet weather. I had to first insert PAMA with all its fixes, aids, approaches and runways into the iFly database. I also fitted the auxilliary fuel tanks and the spray effect from the reverse thrust on a wet or snowy runway. Here are half a dozen pictures that I took today:- Crossed the fence and in the auto Flare. Tower view as I pass...note the spray. Even more noticeable here in Spot view. I have the Autobrake set for max and I'm a bit over the max landing weight... ...but managing to stop on my rather short runway. Here seen in VC cockpit as I'm nearly stopped. Parked next to an old Continental B727. My aircraft is the BBJ3 from iFly Developments...thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Great pictures! Is there really that much wing flex on a 737? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermcleland 96 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Great pictures! Is there really that much wing flex on a 737? I would not be surprised if that is the correct amount of wing flex...I've never flown in one of these later models but Boeing wings do tend to flex a lot. I once flew in a B744 in a passenger seat on the right side...When I looked across the aircraft out of a left side window as we taxied out, I found I was looking straight at the left wing tiplet. As we took off I looked at that tiplet until it rose up out of sight. I even put my head down into the aisle as low as I could get it, but the wingtip was still out of sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, you spend a bloody lot of time on it and if it is fully realistic nobody will see it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
