Playing With "THE BIG PIG"

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

Not very often I get a chance to piss-around with other simulations .... and which is simply a reflection of my HJG workload (not to mention my RW business activities too) most of the time

STILL .... that changed today (for once) and in favour of the following ....


QANTAS AIRWAYS A380 (definitive livery)







QANTAS AIRWAYS A380 ("G'day Texas" hybrid livery)







QANTAS AIRWAYS A380 ("Go Wallabies" hybrid livery)

I remember when we use to think the Big Pig was the B-747! I wonder how long it takes to completely load this beast with cargo, passengers, fuel etc.

So far as I'm aware .... turnaround times are comparable with those for any B747, but, I understand the PAX boarding proesses, for any A380, may differ somewhat.

I've not (yet) flown on it to know in regard to the latter

Mark, is that from project airbus? Panel?

YEAH .... PA A380 Mike

As far as panel options are concerned .... WELL .... there's not really a lot out there I'm afraid .... and since I don't like "any" of the supposedly A380-specific panel options I've seen, so far (in all due respect to efforts of the respective authors), I forced myself to have to use the KM A340 panel. It's not right either .... and is barely appropriate for the task (from a cosmetic persopective), but, it "does" work.

In respect of sounds .... I just conjured-up something (almost appropriate ) using various bits of actual recordings from B777-300 RR TRENT engfines .... and I think some GE bits'n'pices too .... and which I also use for the B787's as well .... "when I can find time to fly them I mean"
