I'm the proud owner of a new Quality Wings 787. Wow, things have come a long way since the 777. Pushing data between the CDU and the EFB. So cool!
Anyway, here's my history so far.
1. Tutorial flight, KSEA-KSFO, piece of cake.
2. YSSY-KLAX attempt #1, auto pilot wouldn't engage, return to base.
3. YSSY-KLAX attempt #2, not enough gas, return to base.
4. YSSY-KLAX attempt #3 (can you believe they gave me ANOTHER chance???) - SUCCESS!

Re: First 787 flight, YSSY-KLAX
At least it was clear over the airport so I had good light for pictures.

Re: First 787 flight, YSSY-KLAX
I'm impressed so far. The systems are quite complex, hand flying feel good, and I also thoroughly enjoyed my Quality Wings BAE-146 I had for FSX for several years.Theodore Martin wrote: ↑06-02-2021 09:30 PM Nice shots Mike. So how do you rate the Quality Wings a/c up to this point?
I'm a satisfied customer.
