Unless you can convince other wise going with the above post in the above link u cant see the struts and wheels being uncompressed and still reakon its the camera angle in the above post that doesnt show it correctly.

With After Effects and the NGX it's very easy to make! Just make a big scenery object in form of a plane behind the runway, etc

Put a pen against the screen horizontally and you'll notice that it stays in the same y-axis (vertical) position :D

Nah its a CGI model of a 737 that they rendered on a computer. Usually a film company doesn't want to pay an airline exhorbiant amounts of money for the rights to use their coporate colors in the livery, its far cheaper to create a CGI model on the computer of a fictional airline and drop that in the frame.An obvious give away is the landing gear, it remains compressed when the plane takes off... perhaps the 3D artist didn't feel like going to the trouble of modeling realistic gear compression and animating it... time constraints perhaps.Heck, they should've just called us and we'll gladly supply them an NGX :-P

maybe it is CGI...I cant find anything better than 480p on youtube of the scene. And the lack of markings on it made me think it was some sort of charter or BBJ.

Couple of years ago we were working on some interactive apps for a museum. One of the animations had a aircraft, just flying along. To me it looked so obviously fake but nobody else knew what I was on about. I drove the poor 3D guy (and the boss) nuts by insisting that they fix the angle of attack so it looks real. Funny how you develop a sense of what an aeroplane should look like.

The take-off angle does look a bit low to me, although I do see some rotation before take-off. The entire ramp area looks rather sterile to me though. I don't think they would have to pay an airline to use their livery though, usually it's called product placement and works the other way around ;p.John-Alan Pascoe

Yes of course it´s a fake! The angle isn´t right at all.Nobody would know, except us simmer nerds and RW pilots.. :( ./ Leffe

Given the fact that you are on this forum, you have a statistically increased chance of being nuts :)Bert Van Bulck

What was the airport and what if any are the noise abatement procedures? all jet transports take-off at my airport LIMZ in a similar fashion as there is no noise abatement procedure.vololiberista

The main gear looks too big too.BTW, it's my fav comedy at the moment but here in Ireland, season 6 is not yet released :(

Okay,So I am female so I should automaticlly agree with your girlfriend :( BUT you are right the angle does look somewhat shallow...Kimberly.

Sure, of course, there's no way that TO is any way more than about 5-10 degrees. Better that way than the other!

That does seem shallow even for a fuly reduced thrust take-off on an NG, and it lifts off way too soon.I am with the CGI crowd.

To me CG is always so obvious- especially on tv shows. I watched it again in HD on netflix and it looks like a real plane that was chartered to take off like this to get a longer shot of it. I wish there was a better video I could link.At least I can tell her no i'm not crazy...that is NOT a 'real/normal' takeoff:)

i'm a nut case..

I agree with your girlfriend that your a nut case if your spending so much time in the NGX she feels neglected. :(
