UAL 902 Leg 2

I took off after approximately a 2.5 hour stopover in Dulles, I didn't even exit the simulator. Now I'm off on the 7 hour 45 minute flight to Munich, one of the most major cities of Germany.

Right now, I'm climbing through exactly 3000 feet above sea level through a thunderstorm with some pretty considerable turbulence. I took off less than a minute ago. Not too bad for a Triple 7+its autopilot! I love this plane.

Airline: United Airlines
Aircraft: Boeing 777-222
Origin: Washington Dulles Int'l Airport, Washington, D.C., Virginia, US, Gate B57.
Destination: Munich/Munchen Airport, Munich, Germany
Cruising Altitude: 35,000 feet/10668 meters
Flight Time: Approximately 7 hours, 45 minutes
Flight Distance: 3745.8 nautical miles/4310.6 miles/6937.22 km

As usual, I'll update the specs as I go on, oh and by the way, I've attached pictures of this flight!

Takeoff:

Climbing through 27063 ft/8248.8 meters:

Finally taking the turn over New Jersey at 6:23 PM Local Eastern Daylight Time, the plane follows the airway (like a highway in the air) heading to Germany over the open Atlantic Ocean, with some 737s flying around the congested airspace:


I will have to leave this flight here. My hard drive got wiped out and so did my game.

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! Those are some wicked screenshots, I'll tell you. And WHO designed that game?!?! It has crazy graphics. Anyway, I wish I could get from Dulles to Munich...RUN AWAY TO SOMEWHERE YOU'LL BE GUARANTEED NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD! Yeah, Germany would about do it.

Microsoft did it, Vid.
Hey, Captain. I'm one of Vid's friends, and followed you here through her blog profile.
I have FSX too, though I don't fly commercial aircraft often. I download freeware fighter aircraft on the internet and fly around at mach 3 smacking into stuff. Crude, I know, but it is a GREAT deal of fun.

Anyway, just stopping by to say hello, and tell you that FSX is awesome. Good day to you, kind sir.

FSX IS awesome. You heard about the development of FS11? Coming out late 2010, I'm excited, although by then I'll be flying for real. They use a little session of brainstorming their new ideas for the sim onto index cards, then tack them on to walls. I tell you, there are some pretty neat ideas on those walls!

Vid, you need a crazy fast computer for it to run smoothly. I'll post my specs soon!

All my FSX addons are just FS2004 aircraft downloads, they work fine.

Well thanks for the comments guys! Check back often!

Prad, turning 14 in December.

Yeah, Vid, you won't be able to run FSX at all on your computer.
Or anything else save for Sim City, on that thing.

And FS11 sounds awesome, man! When are they thinking for the release date?

The release date is set for Fall-Winter 2010. Although if they weren't planning Train Simulator 2 for 2009, it would have come out then.

Vid, is your computer that weak?
