Hope you guys enjoy this! This was my flight from KSMF to KLAX with an PMDG 737 in American Airlines livery. Great way to spend a saturday morning!

Take-off from KSMF. Nice woodland around this area.

Climbing through 29000 feet above the Sacramento airspace.

At cruise altitude now, just crossed into the lost Angeles airspace.

And coming in to land on runway 07 left. Our STAR took the aircraft over the ocean via waypoint OCN. beautiful approach!

And after about an hour and twenty minutes of flight, we come to a stop in KLAX. About to turn off onto the taxiway. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Los Angeles. Local time is 1300 hours 7 minutes, and the outside temperature is... Wink

Great flight! My personal reccomendation. Think I might get to the return leg now. Cheers,

Kobe

Very nice! I bought the PMDG package last weekend, and it is awesome. I'd have to say the 3rd shot is my favorite.

Sorry, slight error!

I meant above the Sacramento Airspace, San Diego was an error. Glad you liked them.

I happen to live in Sacramento and believe me, it's not wooded, more like dull beige farms, oo, fun. Wonderful shots though

FMC landing speed calculated at 143 knots... 15 degrees flaps, autobrake 2, gear down... Don't really think I forgot anything no. Spoilers? Personally didn't feel the need considering the lenght of KLAX R07L and it isn't written in the PMDG checklist but maybe you'r right

.. They were armed though. Wink

Sorry, it didn't look like you had any flaps for the landing. Then again, that is pretty much my only complaint about the PMDG 737...flap settings don't visually look right. Flaps 5 for take off does not look like flaps 5 at all.

No seriously they're there. Flap setting 5 degrees, trim 5.50.. If there was still space in this topic I would post a shot from a better angle of the take-off but the flaps are there. Wink

Oh I believe you.

But look at a real 737NG with flaps 5 on takeoff, and look at the PMDG 737 in the same situation. That was my last point... Wink

Whoa great shot!

Must be 30-40 degrees of flaps there!
Wish I could capture a shot like that but I can't ever seem to get the timing for the lightnening right..
