J41 - Jetstream to Alaska

Featured Replies

I thought I'd throw up a few more shots -- the JS41 will separate the men from the boys when it comes to flying skill, so it seems only appropriate to take her up to Southeast Alaska, where the flying ain't for the faint of heart. This flight took us from Sitka to Wrangell.1J4142538.jpgRunning through the cockpit checks while we wait for our scheduled departure.1J4142541.jpgLeft engine start; In a moment, I'll call for the ground crew to disconnect the power cart.1J4142542.jpgWaiting for the morning freight -- a Dash-7 just pulling off the runway.1J4142543.jpgThere he goes -- the taxiway is ours, now.1J4142545.jpgAccelerating into the soup.1J4142549.jpgWe break out at 8,000 feet, and we'll be crossing the Chatham Strait in a couple minutes.1J4142551.jpgJust before we begin our descent, a few miles short of Level Island VOR.1J4142553.jpgOh, NOW it's clearing up...

I dig the primer. Great shots. I'll second the previous poster and say the same thing - default scenery?BTW, PMDG - I am STILL in awe over the quality of the VC. Very nicely done.

Nope, not default -- that's FSAddon's Tongass Fjords.

I am extremely impressed with the addition of passengers being visible in the passenger cabin. To my knowledge, no one else has done that and in my opinion, it's about time someone did. Bravo! Are they animated (i.e. the passenger's head looks around at the view out the window or they hold up a newspaper, etc) or are they fixed in place?

Matt,Yeah, that's a pretty cool feature! No animation at the moment, but who knows what tricks the developers have up their sleeves?
