I saw this today for the first time and thought that was pretty cool so I decided to share it with you. Sorry for the bad quality of the shots but I'm on a TNT2 Sad

Something tells me that this flight is gonna end pretty badly Roll Eyes

If it's the POSKY model, I bet it's probably because of overheating, unless you decided to sideslip with a 15 degree bank angle Grin

Hmm..just realised you got them sparks on both the inboard engines, so that leaves out the sideslip theory 8)

Overheating the engines on a modern 747 is pretty much impossible, the FADEC (or whatever that system on a 747 is called) will not allow that.

It's not the POSKY model though. But it continued throughout my flight though it didn't seem to make any difference on the plane's behaviour.

Landing and still sparkling.

It doesn't look good at the parking.

Hey, make sure that Harry Potter is not onboard that flight. Grin

I get the feeling that he has put a curse on that jet.

I'll tell you what that is. I had a similar thing with a POSKY Air France Cargo 747. I pulled up a bit too hard and fast on takeoff and obviously dragged the rear end on the runway. When I looked in spot view, I had the same as you from Luton half way across the Channel until I stopped the flight. ???

My guess is you were taxying and turning too fast before takeoff and dragged the engines on both sides on the concrete. Only explanation there is.

Anyway, unless you can show different, the airline's insurance assessors will be round to your house Monday as I think you as pilot have to pay the first $500k of every claim... Wink

Two theories from here could come together. Maybe Harry Potter was flying his broom (alright, nimbus whatever) and got sucked into the engines (broom into one, and him in the other), big problems, lol.

I have this with the posky 757 a lot. It happens when I do a replay of a take-off. (which is what you did for your screenshots!) When the replay starts, the undercarriage is still retracted so the plane gets damaged (sparks and smoke; with the 757 they come from the nose as well, which looks very strange). In the replay the main wheels will only extend completely when the plane leaves the ground after take off. If I resume the flight after the replay the damage is still there and never goes away until I restart the flight. I find this annoying Tongue

.
To prevent it I'll lower the gear before starting the replay, that does the trick for me Grin

Other option is to make a flightvideo of the take-off instead of using replay. Then it doesn't happen, plus you lose the "replay XXsec" message in your screenies

Cheers
AJ
