American Airlines Virtual

The September Theme Flight goes down under, again, but this time to New Zealand.

A 4+hour flight in the B-377, at 160KIAS and FL280. It took awhile.
The ORBX scenery, and using the REX weather graphics, makes it look a whole lot better than the stock FSX.

Now it's your turn. Enjoy your flights. Check the NOTAM's listing for details.

If Wayne can do it, it must be a piece of pie .... errrrr, mmmmm .... well, good thing there were 2 377's at YSSY. The first one I tried had something defective (I think it was the co-pilot) and the No 1 engine caught fire. SO we deplaned and replaned on the 2nd, and, like I said, it was a piece of cake!

Enjoyed relearning this a/c. The A2A B377 with AccuSim - It's great!

Flying this route and the B-377 isn't for the faint of heart. Try, try again.
