Hi all,

Here's my update about my looong trip.

I started in Ottawa today, on a A 320 Airbus from Canada air, for the first time. I was impressed by the nice livery and the two huge engines on this bird.

Anyway, a nice scenic flight without too much trouble. Destination? Washington - Ronald Reagan Airport.

Yes i am in the USA. Lots of security checks, but hey, I don't mind! Grin

The screens:

At the gate in Ottawa

A peak from the cockpit! This is what flying is about ...

Close up.

One of our turns

The sun is setting over the land of opportunity

Decending to the airport - landing lights on

Approach of the tarmac

At the runway and breaking like hell, there is water on the other end of the runway, and i forgot my swimsuit... But not to worry!

Yeah, your nickname really reflects that statement

BTw, why the weird behavior on the navigation display, a bug perhaps ???

No bug, it uses the default 737 panel, but has a different VC.

But a very nice model, lots of detail!
Sadly most of it goes lost in resizing.

Number 4 even shows the rivets on the wings, for example.

I have the same model (Project Airbus I assume), and my ND looks the same, which is not correct at all. It just looks screwed up, and it's impossible to use it...

Edit: sorry for the bitching, but my 2 weeks off from work ends today, yuk.

Yeah, seems to be a problem, i hardly could stop it at the gate. When the parkingbreakes aren't applied, it runs off again.
