BAW295 London Heathrow, EGLL to Chicago O'Hare, KORD

Hello all!

Flight BAW295 operates out of London Heathrow at around 11am every morning in one of the many Boeing 747-400's in the British Airways fleet.

This is the next flight I will be replicating so expect screen shots and videos within the next 24 hours or so!  I have no idea as to why I fancied this flight... perhaps I have subconsciously picked up on Chicago recently or something... but nevertheless... it's a great excuse to fly into such a detailed airport by FSDreamteam!

This is the route I will be using for the flight:
EGLL SID BUZAD UT420 TNT UL28 RODOL UP6 DIMLI UN570 GINGA UN572 GOMUP NATC YDP J548 YKL N356C ROUND N362B SSM STAR KORD

I'm really excited about getting the video of the take off and approach up for you lot!
Peace out!

Tahiti Faaa International Landing Video Is Here!

Good morning!

After multiple upload attempts... the video is finally up on YouTube!  The take off video from Auckland International, NZAA is uploading as we speak and should be up within an hour or so.  Let me know what you think and also let me know what else you'd like to see in my videos... Be it different or more camera angles or cockpit views.  In the meantime I'm going to experiment a bit until I can find a happy medium!

YouTube Uploads & Flight Update

Hello all!

I'll be honest... I never thought uploading videos to YouTube would be such a long process... my videos are taking somewhere between 2 - 3 hours... and sometimes YouTube decides to tell me halfway through that the upload has failed.  As you can imagine, this affects my mood severely, so thank the lord for Supernatural and Smallville... these two shows have seriously stopped me from screaming extreme profanities at my computer.

Anyway, I hope all of you enjoyed my debut Larnaca approach video.  I've really began to get to grips with Sony Vegas Pro 10 and Fraps and may well do an even better remake of this video.

The video I am uploading at the moment is the approach to Tahiti Faaa International in the Level-D Boeing 767-300ER winglet model.  As mentioned in one of my previous posts, this flight is a replica of flight ANZ40 operated by Air New Zealand out of Auckland International.

A soon as the video is up and running on YouTube I will post it on here as soon as possible, along with the screenshots!

By the way... If you are a member of British Airways Virtual (like me), you will like my next flight!

BAW662 Larnaca Approach Video Is Here!

Good evening people!

As promised, the video is here of part of my flight from London Heathrow to Larnaca International.  This is my first ever video so any tips would be welcome to make them look better.

I can certainly empathise with people getting upset due to the way FRAPS affects your system... even my machine was crying out and produced some strange anomalies, hence why I'm off to the shops tomorrow to max my system out to 8Gb of RAM from 4Gb.  Hopefully in my next video, the scenery will appear as it appears to me in game - perfect.

I can only imagine my videos will get better with practice so if this video is not up to some of your standards... please don't let it cloud your judgement when it comes to my future videos... I am a perfectionist and will perfect my videos with time!

As mentioned in one of my previous posts... I purely done this trip as Ayia Napa (Cyprus) is my favourite European party destination hence the reason I used Stereo Love as the sound track rather than the sound of the aircraft... (Stereo Love reminds me of last year's holiday in Napa).

Larnaca International Approach Video Uploading As We Speak!

Hello all!

The video I'm uploading from my BAW662 London Heathrow to Larnaca International flight is taking bloody ages... only 112 odd minutes or so remaining on YouTube so hang in there folks!

In the meantime... I'm going to start planning for my next flight... ANZ40 Auckland International to Tahiti Faa'a International.  Again, I'm going to take the Level-D 767-300ER.

After watching Couple's Retreat (Vince Vaughn), I just had to find out where this beautiful island was and secondly, how would I realistically get there in a commercial aircraft.

Air New Zealand operate flight ANZ40 out of Auckland International up to Tahiti in a Boeing 767-300ER winglet model and that is exactly what I am going to be doing today.  Flight averages at around 4.5 hours so expect screenshots today and a video tomorrow!

P.S. I highly recommend you watch Couple's Retreat... you will thank me afterwards!

London Heathrow EGLL - Larnaca International LCLK

Good afternoon people!

Seeing as summer is approaching very fast I somewhat feel the need to fly some of those ever so popular European party destination routes, starting with my favourite destination... Ayia Napa (Cyprus).

Flight BAW662 leaves London Heathrow on a daily basis at around 08:30UTC.  The flight on average takes around 4.5 hours, however expect some lovely tail winds to get you there slightly earlier.

I will be using the Level-D 767-300 for FSX, and here is the route I will be following:

EGLL SID DVR UL9 KONAN UL607 KOK UM150 LAMGO UZ210 TGO UQ303 NEMEK UM867 DISOR UL608 FSK UN128 IMR UN127 EXELA UM601 DAROS STAR LCLK
