October 28, 20214 yr But I was shocked to see how small the Longitude (the red plane below) is compared to the airlines. And I was even more shocked to see how big a windmill really is. Size comparison of 5 big planes in MSFS. From left to right: the Longitude, CJ4 (on the runway), A320, B787 and the 747.

They're monstrous, from even a moderate distance. R9-5900X, RTX 3070 Ti, 32GB DDR4, NVMe (1TB EX920), Dell P2715Q 4K Honeycomb Alpha & Honeycomb Bravo

I've driven through a wind farm located on the plains in Colorado -- mighty impressive to say the least! Al Edited October 28, 20214 yr by ark
October 28, 20214 yr This is interesting. I have never seen them side-by side before from an angle like this before. I didn't realise the B787 was so big. I always imagined it as halfway between the A320 and the B747. It's definitely closer to the 747 in size. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

October 28, 20214 yr I’ve always thought the 787 looked smaller than it is, I think the larger windows throw off the perspective for me.
