May 24May 24 I simply love this era of aircraft - where older technology meets newer technology. And, for me, the new Inibuilds A300-600R is one of the best.As usual, it has taken me a while to learn the full start up and landing procedures - but three times out of four now I am getting a fairly successful flight.All shots are stills taken from a recording using OBS Studio of the VR view from my Crystal Pimax Light. The SU5 change to make the VR desktop view a single image (rather than previous left eye/right eye double image) has made it a LOT simpler to take a decent video, however dodgy the flight is.The flight was controlled by FSHud voice ATC throughout, running with AIGTech traffic. FSRealistic was also running as were Speed/Heading/Altitude and V/S assigned to the four rotary knobs of my Elgato Stream Deck +The flight was flown in real time with a low-sun 19:30 t/off. Weather 'scattered clouds'.The co-pilot - while always stoic - seemed particularly quiet during the flight...After programming the MCDU, aligning the navigation system, starting APU and receiving the OK from Ground Control for pushback and start, we were pushed back from Stand 1 at Birmingham EGBB and started the engines:Take-off was designated at Rway 33 and we were give permission to taxi to R33 holding point and then to line up and take off R33:Lined up and ready to roll! Copilot is gripping her seat...presumably just expecting a slightly bumpy runway! :Climbing away:It's a nice looking aircraft and very well modelled!!Copilot perhaps looking a little calmer and it's only a short hop. ATC have vectored us towards Rway23R. Configured for landing:ILS glide slope captured:Two whites and two reds! That's got to be a first!! Tower has given permission to land...And down!And clear of runway. Hmm, that's odd. Co-pilot just muttered 'Never again!'. Maybe be a bit fed up with the shuttle run. I like it - same route but different every time!! :I like that they paint those taxi yellow lines. Sometimes I see how long I can keep the nose wheel in line with it! One thousand and one -one thousand and two...And we're back 🙂Copilot ran down the steps and apparently told the Ground Crew, "I'm outa here!" Must be going to a party or something this evening...
