May 10, 20242 yr So here I am in the seemingly much maligned LVFR A340 (poor, poor, gullible me - sing along now!) arriving at SamScene's ZJSY. I like the A340, though even I will admit the fuselage textures leave something to be desired, and am happy to have it. ZJSY is also not one of SamScene's finest moments, and a lot of the ground imagery around here is pretty bad, but that may well be MSFS itself. Anyway, overall an enjoyable experience. This A340 will be getting out and about a bit on my system in the next few days. So here's a few shots for y'all - enjoy or sneer according to your tastes, I don't mind either way. A cockpit shot to start with, but I went and changed the weather setting immediately after this as it felt a bit bland out there That's better! Saw a comment in another thread implying a problem with the ground steering but can't say I noticed any issues And here we are at a totally inappropriate gate This is probably more suitable (and the weather is back to clear because these are from my first run through of the flight replay) And just a couple of shots around the airport Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case.

May 12, 20242 yr Andy, just ignore the malignment part....and the gullible part too...🙂...We (me included) love the 340 for more than just its fidelity in the SIM...And, until another (better one) appears in our lifetime, this will have to do... If you ask me which a/c took me across the Oceans maximum times (very comfortably too, a great long-haul plane of its time), it will have to be the 340 (with LH). I recall LH was flying the -300 and the unimaginably thin and long -600 variants...the latter I most recall... Thanks for sharing the pictures of the 340...!
May 12, 20242 yr Author @efis007, @helberger, @Todd2, @pmplayer and @Alaska738, - thank you gentlemen! 4 minutes ago, P_7878 said: Andy, just ignore the malignment part....and the gullible part too...🙂...We (me included) love the 340 for more than just its fidelity in the SIM...And, until another (better one) appears in our lifetime, this will have to do... Thanks for sharing the pictures of the 340...! Don't worry P_7878, I don't take any of that stuff seriously. Speaking as a decidedly non-serious simmer I'm very happy with all the LVFR Airbusses. Yes, if a better quality A318 or A340 ever comes along I may well replace them, but these work for me now. Time spent actually in the cockpit continues to be time wasted, in my world. I like aircraft of all sorts, but primarily I like to look at them, not out from them. I can just about tolerate spending time in the cockpit for take off and landing when I'm recording a flight, but other than that, forget it. I have a low tolerance for staring at dials and gauges and such things. Having a play with the F-4 and formation settings at the moment, but I'll be back out in the A340 very soon!
