I also went to the new Busch Stadium (where the St. Louis Cardinals play) and wow is that spectacular. Yeah, the Arch is really cool. You enter from under the ground. I took some really cool pictures looking up right beside it. I will post them if I can get them on here right. Not sure how to do that at the moment. I love how it just towers over downtown.

more random flight sim pics...I finally graduated to the big jets... These are from an international flight (Noble Air flight 3100) from KBOS (Boston Logan Intl. Airport) to EBBR (Brussels Intl.) I was flying a Boeing 777-200ER with a total flight time of exactly 6 hours.  Decending over the Belgian coast.  A different angle of the above.  Flight deck view of the final approach.  Aft view of the final approach.  Touchdown.  Taxiing toward the gate. back home in Boston  |

That is the coolest thing ever. So, do you have to pilot the whole 6 hours? Also, is that the actual shot from the Brussels airport.................if so, wow, amazing what they can do these days.

Nope you don't have to pilot the whole trip. I like to fly in real time until I get to cruising altitude, then I set the autopilot and turn on the time compression to 8x. Then I turn off the time compression when it's time to decend. It has virtual air traffic control so if you're flying IFR you'll want to follow ATC instructions. Nope those aren't photos those are computer generated graphics. They use satellite photos and maps to make the terrain and other graphics. The last pic is at Boston, Logan (KBOS) and that is an add on scenery that's free at www.avsim.com They have really good scenery packages for for all teh major cities and airports. Noble Air is a Virtual Airline I fly for btw... www.nobleair.com |

I should really get into this, sounds like a fun thing to do in your spare time. As soon as I finish college, I will have to take a closer look. Thanks for posting this stuff!

yeah, it is a lot of fun. I've always wanted to be a cargo pilot but the schooling is just too expensive and plus I'd have to move  So I stick with the sim. It feeds the need for speed I suppose...lol Here's a pic of my virtual cockpit...  I'm using the Saitek X52 flight controller setup and that's a Cessna Citation X sitting on the runway at KSEA (Seattle Intl.) |
