My Australian Adventure ‘C-Boy Edition’ - W/Screenies. - Canada_Boy - 28-10-2007

Hey Guys.
I haven’t been flying Flight Sim as much as I’d like to lately.
So I got rid of my old company (flying only Air Canada planes, and routes was holding me back)
And made a new one: World Trans-Link - “Flying any route with any aircraft”

So here is how I am starting it off,
A Trip to Australia, a place that (other then the World Tour) I have never flown to in FS.

Some of you may remember when I made a ‘Hawaiian Tour’ thread awhile back, this is going to be pretty much the same, but with Australia. Smile

All shots are Unedited except adding black bars ect , As I can only use Photoshop at my aunt house, I have a photo editing program that came
with my old camera, but it only changes colour, and red eye removal Big Grin

So Lets begin: Smile

------------------------------------------

This morning I had to get up early, my flight was a 7:23am.
Rushing out the door with my cereal bar in hand, I made it to the local airport 30minutes before departure.
My first flight was to Vancouver, from there I would take the longest flight in my life, to Sydney, Australia.

Climbing down the stairs to the tarmac below, I managed to take my first shot.
Sitting there was a new beautiful Dash 8-100, ready to take me to my first destination.

It took us about half of an hour to get all settled down, we were now ready for take off.
I made sure I sat right near the engine so I could hear the wonderful hum they produced.
[Image: fsscr000vt5.jpg]

Woot!, finally we were off, this was to be a short flight, Vancouver was only 35 km’s away, but none the less this was the beginning of a great and
sure to be amazing few weeks to come.
[Image: fsscr012wr3.jpg]

Sitting on the plane I starting thinking of all the places I wanted to visit, from the commercials I have been watching Australia seemed to be a
beautiful place to go, great wildlife and scenic places....Not to mention hearing those accents.

As I thought, I couldn’t help but look at the sparkling water below me either.
[Image: fsscr013vj4.jpg]

We were already starting to descend into Vancouver. Seeing the big Jumbo’s take to the sky’s
I started to get even more excited knowing that, that will be me in only a few hours.

Touching down, what a great pilot we had for this flight, the landing was absolutely amazing Wink

Saying goodbye to the people I met on the plane, I was off to check in for the next flight.
I gave my luggage to the lady at the Qantas check-in centre, who after I told what I was doing, was surprised at the little amount of luggage I had.
Nah, it’s enough to get me by; I said, I was planning on buying a few clothes while I was down under, anyway.
But I do hope I can find me a few hotels with laundry mats, I don’t want to make a bad impression on the Australian girls..
I had to wait 2 ½ hours until boarding, so I tried to find the nearest magazine shop.
I knew needed a fair amount of reading material to last me through the 15 hour flight.

After I did all my pre-flight preparing I heard the announcement over the PA system.
Boarding was about to start in 10minutes.
So I mosied on my way to the international terminal.

There it was, on my ticket she was listed as Boeing 747-400ER so I assumed that was her name. Crikey! What an amazing paint job! I
shouted, as the fellow passengers gave me the stare.
[Image: fsscr002kp7.jpg]

Looking out the terminal window I really appreciated the size of this beast.
I see why it can take us all the way to Australia!

As always, I made sure I had a window seat for the flight, while taxiing I was amazed at how high off the ground we were.

Waiting for departure, we found ourselves waiting behind a few aircraft, but what else would you expect.
[Image: fsscr013lu7.jpg]

At last we are off. Time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight.
I took one last look at the airport as we began to climb; from now on only water ahead.
[Image: fsscr036zg0.jpg]

We have made it far from the land, and just reaching are cruising altitude of 35,500ft.
At this point I began to read my first magazine...
[Image: fsscr038mo8.jpg]

After eating lunch and dinner, it was starting to get late out. The sun was starting to set, as we kept on going over the ocean.

[Image: fsscr040os6.jpg]

Finally it was time to land.
After 15 hours we were on the ground again. I couldn’t wait to get a hotel room where I could sleep comfortably.
[Image: fsscr044hk1.jpg]

After landing was clearing customs, it wasn’t as bad as I thought, though I was too tired to really pay attention.
Next was booking a hotel room, I really didn’t care about the quality I was so tired I could sleep anywhere at any price.
After signaling a cab, I made it to my temporary room.
Now, it is time to sleep in for a few hours, and see what tomorrow has in store....

...TO BE CONTINUED...

Absoulely great shots Ryan!

You've made the 747 look like its real size, which is quite hard to do in FS.

You'r never on MSN anymore?

Re: My Australian Adventure ‘C-Boy Edition’ - W/Screenies. - Canada_Boy - 28-10-2007

Thanks Alex!

I am actually on MSN quite a bit, it is just the timezone difference on weekdays, I will be on today for a few hours.
Never mind talking now Smile

Darn fine screenshits, Ryan! At first glance of the 747, I thought it to be the PMDG one, but saw it was POSKY. I wouldn't mind having that
paint job for my PMDG version Smile

Anyway, very well done!

Re: My Australian Adventure ‘C-Boy Edition’ - W/Screenies. - Canada_Boy - 29-10-2007

Thanks Joe Smile

Here you go, 'Wunala Dreaming' for the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies.

Thanks Guys Beer

And, no problem Joe.

I just got a huge project due at the end of the week(on earthquakes) So I have put aside 2 hours a night for that, along with other homework.
I have flown some more routes, but I need to put the screenshots and story together.
Hopefully tonight or tomorrow night, I will update Smile

Ryan,

Got the livery installed. It's got a very nice shine to it Smile

Someone did a great job on the repaint.

Re: My Australian Adventure ‘C-Boy Edition’ - W/Screenies. - Canada_Boy - 03-11-2007

I slept in the next day, until about 1pm.
Once up it was time to view a little bit of Sydney for the day, what better way then to rent a boat!
I found a pretty decent one at a cheap price, too.
First stop was the world famous opera house.
[Image: fsscr032ur5.png]

After that was downtown. Buildings look a lot bigger from the ground then at 5000ft; I thought to myself.
[Image: fsscr038ft0.png]

Finally after about 45minutes, my time was up. I took a short ride by the Sydney Harbour Bridge, on my way back
[Image: fsscr037fy2.jpg]

After a long day of seeing the city, it was time to head back to my hotel room where I would have to get up bright and early too get to a new airport
on the outskirts of Sydney.

But suddenly when the boat hit a wave, I dropped my camera!
Oh no! I said, now I have to finish the tour, with out any more story/screenies.

.....The End.....

Sorry for the lame ending guys, but I don't have the time to create a story, after I flying/homework, and what not.

Mark, Joe, I will hand the 'screenshot story telling' back over to you guys Top

I will be posting some more screenshots though, in the Screenshot thread. Smile
