The cockpit lighting at dawn...

I've been busy with school so I haven't had the opportunity to fly her yet Early reports seem good. Apparently overall the A330 is a nice step up from the A320, from my brief look I can tell you the cockpit textures are outstanding! More specifically, FBW has been greatly improved but the MCDU's still have a reduced level of functionality. This was never a problem for me in the A320 but if precision is your thing you might want to wait.

Don't want to spam this thread too much, so i thought i'll post 2 pics per flight :] BCS2251 "EUROTRANS" TWO TWO FIVE ONE DEP: LOWS (Salzburg, Austria) DEST: EIDW (Dublin, Ireland) LEVEL: FL360 ROUTE: TRAUN UL856 AKABI UZ613 HOC UL613 SANDY UL15 BIG UL9 GAVGO UL18 DIKAS UL9 STU UM17 VATRY Leaving beautiful Salzburg Crossing rwy 16/34 at Dublin and entering the apron BCS3226 "EUROTRANS" THREE TWO TWO SIX DEP: EIDW (Dublin, Ireland) DEST: UUEE (Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Russia) LEVEL: FL350 (step climb FL370 at RIKUM) ROUTE: ROTEV P600 GOTNA DCT BLACA DCT TRN UM89 SAB UL983 CUTEL UP5 NIVUN P609 VATEX DCT RIKUM/N0463F370 N851 LAKUT L24 RATMU T73 INLOG R30 SPB B160 DB B238 NAMIN Sankt-Petersburg (Russia) as seen from FL370.

Engines running, so it's time to call for "Before Taxi" checklist! Quick look at the scenery. X-Plane airport addons keep getting better and better... With favourable winds en-route, in less than two hours we fly the arrival segment into Salzburg. Long final, on the ILS runway 15. Still, this won't be a simple straight-in approach this time around. Flying special circling procedure for runway 35. Overflying Salzburg city with the airport in the background. Right base to runway 35. Vacating runway via taxiway Bravo. Another successful landing ;] This scenery has to be one of the freeware jewels. Blends nicely with HD Mesh and World2XPlane autogen.

Staying overnight in cold Russia...

DHL 757-200SF from Bristol, UK (EGGD) to Southampton, UK (EGHI) Short hop to enjoy great Pilot Plus sceneries for above airports, as well as great freeware UK Pro scenery by Tony. Haven't flown the FF 757 in a while and i have to admit it is surprisingly good after all those patches. The 1990s DHL livery does look cool on the 757 and kind of nostalgic, doesn't it?

Thanks John! It looks incredible!
