Simulator Flight Diary
the travels of "Simantha" our Virgin Blue Virtual Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

Steve Marion from our virtual airline (VOZ VA) recently spent 2 days with us. Steve is a ground-handling supervisor/traner and a commercial pilot, and knows much about operating the 737. We gave 'Simantha' a good work-out, ironed out some bugs, and did lots of CRM and procedures refinement and training. Thanks Steve!

We finished it all off with the following flight. This shows some inprovements to the visuals with 220 degrees wrap-around now. Also continuing to tweak the sounds.

Note: we forgot to reset FS before this flight so frame-rates are a bit ordinary.

VIDEO CLIP> Engine start, takeoff, and tracking the SID out of Sydney. One minor hitch - the pushback driver was sloshed and went the wrong way! :).   To comment or rate our videos go to our place on YouTube
On approach into Hobart.
VIDEO CLIP> Approach and landing into Hobart runway 12, plus taxi-in and shutdown. The approach was initially a visual circuit into runway 30, but the ground winds kept shifting, meaning a go-around and a second approach..   To comment or rate our videos go to our place on YouTube
