June 1, 20251 yr I know, this is not the usual plane I like to fly, but my wife and I visited Dubai last month and our mode of transportation was an Emirates A380, which we both liked a lot. Hence this flight in an A380 🙂  Above Baku  This is where my tea comes from: Darjeeling  The Gangadhar meets the larger Brahmaputra  Above Calcutta, or Kolkata, as it is called today  Along the Malaysian coast past George Town  I have reached Singapore  Thanks for viewing, I have to admit I actually enjoyed flying this beast. It's soooo different from a Ford Trimotor 😃 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

June 4, 20251 yr Why are most of the pictures zoomed out like crazy?  Is that because you have an ultra wide monitor? FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠Matt Kubanda, 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 5090@4k, MSFS 2024   Â
