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!

Beautiful winter day for flying in Australia.

Typical "May Gray, June Gloom" day in southern California with low clouds over the ocean right next to the shore.

At least it was clear over the airport so I had good light for pictures.

Nice shots Mike. So how do you rate the Quality Wings a/c up to this point?

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.
I'm a satisfied customer.
