Fuel was an issue for my 60% load as I'm using the B747D... only 6,5 tons of fuel remained at touchdown.

Fabulous set of shots. Is that a PMDG QOOTS?

Nostalgic Sabena(sigh!!), a byword for travel in 70s-80s.

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.

Amazing shots! Especially like the ones on approach!

Cool!  It's nice that you tube flyers can do these long flights without OOM's

My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL |

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.

Well, that's thanks to 64-bit engineering.... ;)
Running the sim with 80% of the sliders at max settings.
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)

Wow, I did not know that about the hydraulics. 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 :)

Great shots of a great airliner in a great livery! thumbS_zpsguhr7arm.png
I also remeber this airline from my younger spotting years, though more in the white-tail-blue-logo version.
