| Starting from last week's fly-in location, Edmonton | Surprisingly enough I was actually able to start the engines of the Air Canada A321, unlike in some previous versions of X-Plane... | Taxiing to runway 02 in the dark |
|

|
| Exterior view of the A321 | Ready for takeoff | The takeoff from CYEG (1) |

| The takeoff from CYEG (2) | The takeoff from CYEG (3) | Making a right hand turn on departure, proceeding on course to Rapid City as filed |
|
|
|
| Passing the airport at 15000 feet and departing Edmonton | Above the transition altitude, following the FMS course south | |
|
|
|
| The view from the co-pilot's seat at 35000 feet - there's already a bit of light on the horizon | Cruising south above Alberta at FL370 | Unfortunately the new overcast clouds in 8.50 cause a major framerate hit |
|
|
|
| Here the sim hasn't had the chance to reduce rendering distance too much yet... but I'm getting only a few frames per second :( | At least the sunrise looks nice :) | Another shot from the co-pilot's seat |
|
|
|
| Approaching the United States... look at that funny grid-patterned weather on the scope! :o | Now above Montana | A view of the terrain below |
|
|
|
| Passing the city of Billings | Continuing towards Rapid City | 100 miles out, time to descend |
|
|
|
| Descending through transition altitude, setting altimeter to local | Now above Rapid City | There's the airport |
