Celebrating 1 month since "Release is getting close" -- what will be your first flight?

Based on the in-flight demos, this product looks like it was produced with an obsessive attention to detail...

 

...and as such it should come as a surprise to no one that we now celebrate 1 month since the announcement of "release is getting close"

 

You may be feeling anxious.  Just take deep breaths and remind yourself that release must now be getting "REALLY close".   :D  :D

 

In the mean time:  What route/plan (aside from any tutorial flight in the documentation/videos) are you going to attempt first once the 737 Classic is released?  

 

For me, I'm going to try to program in 2 routes from the get go:

 

SWA944 MMMX->KHOU

SWA205 KHOU->KSAN

 

Weather permitting, a visual approach on runway 27 coming into KSAN would be really beautiful.

Too bad MMMX from Taxi2Gate is no longer coming to X-Plane. That was one of my favorite locations in FSX. It would have looked awesome on XPX.

For me it has to be BA EGKK-LOWI since I used to take it all the time to ski.

(and yes I know BA used the -400)

Really!! You waited 6 years to do a VFR pattern!!...

 

In a proper 733..   It's about the very first flight, mate. My short Niederrhein - Cologne flight will probably also be VFR.

Getting the feel of the aircraft. Plenty of time left to do programmed flying.

If it can fly patterns, I guess it can do the rest... Be assured it will be more than one pattern!

And, btw, in the beginning it's all about the smell of a new aircraft...  ;)

 

I agree - if I had a real 737 for a day, all I´d do is fly patterns with it. If I want to sightsee, I would take a C-172 to better see the scenery. Pattern work is where it´s at, taking off, landing, accelerating, decelerating, configuration changes...
