June 10, 20178 yr Fabulous set of shots. Is that a PMDG QOOTS? Nostalgic Sabena(sigh!!), a byword for travel in 70s-80s. Rick Almeida
June 10, 20178 yr Author Thank you Rick. That is indeed the PMDG QOTS in Prepar3D v4. I'm a product of the late 70's. So in the 80's (we lived south of Brussels), each time winds were blowing from the East, I saw the Sabena planes passing over our house on final for what was then runway 02. And in that era, traffic at Brussels airport was for 70% Sabena/Sobelair. Regards, Vital Vanbeginne
June 10, 20178 yr Amazing shots! Especially like the ones on approach! Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
June 15, 20178 yr Cool! It's nice that you tube flyers can do these long flights without OOM's | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
June 15, 20178 yr Nice pics, well done, excellent route. On remaining fuel, iirc there should always be 30k pounds left as the hydraulics are cooled by the fuel.

If I did that 6 months ago in v3, I would have OOM when approaching the English West Coast (ie: when London is being loaded in the sim) 19 hours ago, Boomer said: Nice pics, well done, excellent route.

I remember seeing (youtubing) a 747 landing with 15-20 tons of reserve. It made me think that she had more reserves then an A320 has of fuel capacity :) Edited June 16, 20178 yr by vesalius Changed OOO (Out of Office) to OOM (Out of Memory) - lol Regards, Vital Vanbeginne
June 16, 20178 yr Great shots of a great airliner in a great livery! I also remeber this airline from my younger spotting years, though more in the white-tail-blue-logo version.
