Here are some of the preset external camera views that were included:

(I disabled my SweetFX shader injection for some of the wing shots so you can make out all the details; that's why the colors look different in some shots and not others)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUSINESS CLASS (this isn't a preset camera...I just turned my head using TrackIR to see inside the plane)

 

 

 

ECONOMY

Can you see mood lighting from the outside?

I believe so! It's not in Economy though.

Not really, but here's something you can see from the outside:

 

The reflection/refraction of light waves off the cockpit window glass

 

 

And the gear assembly is also incredibly detailed with lots of independent parts

Nice but looks like that airlines doesn't use mood lighting in economy.

Is it just me or are the engines on the 77L way out of proportion with the rest of the plane i.e. too big?

Actually no, those GE's are pretty big.

Those monster fans are this bird's trademark! My Expressjet pilot friends always say they're nervous to take their CRJs in front of them for fear of being ingested like this poor fellow:

You gotta have a very healthy and respectful fear of those engines. 777 wasnt really common when I worked the ramp, but doing pushbacks with engines starting, you just know your boundaries, whether it was a 744, or MD11, or whatever. It was ominous but at the same time exciting each and everytime.  I can only imagine what it must be like to do pushback for a 777, wingwalk, communicator or tug.

It's really scary the first time, but after you learn how to respect the plane's safety bubble, you feel a lot safer.

I work on Qatar, Air France, and British Airways 777 flights at CYUL and they are just humongous when you walk around under them.

Yeah and the 300ER is one long plane, makes the 200ER seem rather too short and stubby lol

Why are the pilots wearing baseball caps?
