| Looking for him between the buildings... | ||
|
|
|
|
| Returning to the airport | A few of the buildings scattered around the ramp | |
|
|
|
|
| Some of them are quite close to the runway too! | Guess I won't be flying this helicopter too far from the airport - in this weather you can't see far enough to really go anywhere, at least not without flying IFR! | But I finally found Luke's plane |
|
|
|
|
| Landing close by and planning the next flight already | Shutting down | Next I'm flying this Finnair A319 to Helsinki (they don't really fly this route though) |
|
|
|
|
| With all the buildings blocking my way I couldn't get to runway 20... so I'll join Luke at runway 02 even though it'll be a downwind takeoff | Luke's A320 is already lined up on the runway | Holding short while Luke takes off |
|
|
|
|
| Taxiing into position... | ...and rolling | Takeoff from EYVI |
|
|
|
|
| As I climb through the soup, the autopilot fails to engage! Looks like this new 8.60 autopilot will take some getting used to... | The hailstorm is damaging the windows as I switch to manual control to climb out of the clouds | Out of the clouds - that means less haildamage but also very low framerates, unfortunately... |
|
|
|
|
| Finally got some of the autopilot modes to engage... | Climbing past 18000 feet | |
|
|
|
|
| Cruising above Lithuania at FL370 | Turning back on course after the autopilot decides to stop following it for some reason (so much for smarter course following!) | |
|
|
|
|
| I've fallen behind Luke because of all the autopilot glitches - he's already approaching Estonia while I'm still in Latvia | And while I arrive in Estonia, Luke is passing Tallinn | 10 minutes later Tallinn is showing up on my scope as well |
