DHL 727-100F charter from EDDF to LFKB

[Nathan Ford - HJG]

Hi all,

The latest video is up on YouTube and is a fantasy flight from Frankfurt Germany to Bastia Corsica in FS2004 (FS9). The video covers a complete charter flight from take off to landing as we wind our way south out of Frankfurt along the Rhine river. We pass Zurich before crossing the Alps and then through Italy to overfly Genoa. Then it's a 20 minute flight over the Med to do the LIGUR5N SID into Bastia Corsica. We then follow the LOC Z RWY 34 approach to land at Bastia Poretta LFKB.

I hope you all enjoy.

Cheers,

Nathan

Awesome, Great Video Nathan,

I like the taxi sequence at FRA most. Seems you are using AES? Also qour flight was taking off on rush hour. Nice line up for Rwa 07L I guess?
Graphics nice! In full mode screen I can watch it crystal clear. How are you settings in Fraps?
Thanks again for this nice flight adventure.

PS: the ATR at LFKB is it von Virtualcol? Bought this a few weeks before, but not so satisfied with that on handling the panel.

Saludos and Greetings

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your lovely comments.

This is the first time I have used AES in one of my videos as I wanted ground services in FS2004. Not as happy as GSX in my FSX videos, but it does the job.

It was a 10:30 am departure and as you rightly commented, it was a busy departure time. Having noted the queue for RW 07C, I requested 07R which was being used for arrivals and got me away much quicker.

My Fraps settings are as follows:



The ATR taking off just before my landing, although I did cut out about 5 seconds of video between, is an AI one from WOAI. I have the Virtualcol ATR but have not used it yet.

Thanks again for your comments and I hope I have answered all your questions 

Cheers,

Nathan

"YES" .... over my morning coffee, this morning, I "thoroughly enjoyed" that video too Nathan

Your artistic/directorship skills, Benoit´s soundpcks, and Ben´s DHL texture too (see Ben .... we can make you "a star" .... we can do it/we do have the technology and team motivation .... combined with a particuly good weather environment and scenery too .... "all very well thought out and very nicely pesented"

I was thinking though .... there might be "a virual ATC inquiry" concerning that other traffic which seemed to cross your bows just after departure

Love to see you (one day) do some of these over the classic ANSETT and TAA Australian domestic routes (bith B727-100/-200 and DC-9-30) .... and perhaps in regard to the ANSETT/COOK ISLANDS INTERNATIONAL/POLYNESIAN trans-Pacific routes between Sydney/Australa and Auckland/New Zealand (via Noumea/New Calerdonia, Apia/Western Samoa, and Rarotonga/Cook Islands) too .... and/or the AUSTRALIAN/AIR VANUATU trans-Pacific route between Sydney/Australia and Port Vila/Vanuatu .... since we do have all of these B727 and DC-9 liveries among our current texture inventory.

Just "ideas/suggestioms" only

Bahahahahaha

I get the analogy! I think I’m more infamous than famous these days. I’m just glad people appreciate my work....even though I no longer sim, many hands make light work (don’t forget to put me back in my rightful place on the staff list  )

Best Regards

I´ll ask Tony to attend to that other detail for you as part of the next website update .... unless he´s able to do so soooner ;()

Never knew that Nathan is Australian!!! I am under impression that he is American. LOL LOL

Well you can get Nathan's VIDEO and my screenshots too. LOL

Looking at my 14,000 screenshots waiting for me to publish, I see I have flight screenshot report of TAA DC-9 taken in 2015 but still waiting for me to publish and another flight screenshot report of TAA 727-200 and exciting freeware Brisbane airport made in 2016 still waiting for me to publish!!

LOL LOL I am pretty sure Nathan will beat to me by making video for you first before I have chance to publish screenshots.

"NO" .... I want to see Nathan´s "VIDEO/S" .... one day when he gets the chance.

I haven´t got time to look at "14,000" screenshots

Has anybody noticed the little “retro” Easter Egg I put into this video yet?

Cheers,

Superb video Nathan. Very realistic looking and excellent airmanship. For FS9 the graphics are amazing.

What sort of add-ons are you using for global ground, sky, clouds and water ??
