msfs Beirut to Tehran, B777

[andy1252 3,846]

So, having discovered I'd been running in offline mode when I tried this flight before (I hadn't noticed as most of my MSFSing had been within various addon airports and I just assumed the middle east was a poorly mapped region), now that I got myself re-connected for online I went back and replayed the flight with all the scenery on and it all looks rather fine down there. I still don't claim to be a tube flyer, but thanks to the rather splendid 'get  you started' tutorial @Chock put together for me, I can now at least get a flight plan loaded up into the fmc and get the AP engaged. In otherwords I know enough to be get under way and be dangerous.

So here's a few shots from my first 'proper' tube flight, Beirut to Tehran. Well, almost proper, I kept the cruise height down at FL10 as I wanted to see what the landscape looked like. Anyway, off we go then -

Over Iraq at this point

Not far out from Tehran (OIIE) now

Quite a smooth landing, for me

But would have been better on the actual runway, rather than the taxiway. Still, it's a learning experience <grin>

cheers,

Andy

Hey, if the taxiway is good enough for Harrison Ford, then it's good enough for the rest of us. Nice pics. 🙂

Hah! I'd forgotten about that, Now I really do feel I've made it as a serious simmer - real life replication!
