LFPG - EGLL with my mate as the captain

[EHM-1383 Syed]

This was the greatest flight I ever had at Euroharmony so far! I found out that my mate living right next to my apartment is registered on this site (EHM 1440 - Huzaifa) and he is a better pilot than me too, he teached me many things...even using the Autopilot!

So today he just came over my house to discuss about a graphics card he just bought and we thought that it'd be cool to fly for Euroharmony right now. He's a Turboprop Captain and I'm a STC (that's because I joined EHM way earlier than him) and we decided to fly a class 2 flight 2003 LFPG - EGLL on our favourite class 2 plane - The Antonov. I loaded up FS Screen and took the following screenshots to share with y'all.

I actually wanted to take a pic during takeoff but just forgot it, so I thought It'd still be good to take that shot because the place where we departed from can be seen behind...a bit far. (LFPG) We were overspeeding because we thought the A/T was on but actually it wasn't.




Huzaifa (EHM-1440) took the following shot while we were cruising. He likes flying in areas where there are clouds..lots of em - The big round ones.



Goodbye Paris!



Huzaifa was supposed to land the plane at EGLL but he left because he had to go out with his Parents to someplace. So now I was the one who was going to land, and I did a very nice and smooth landing on Heathrow airport. (To EHM-1440: Haha, now that's what we call a GOOD landing..right on the centerline, not on the farmers field! )



Then I taxiied the plane at the gate while thinking about the great landing I just made better which was even better than the ones EHM-1440 does. Then I shut off the engines and let the passengers off the plane.  



I think Huzaifa has not figured out how to post on the forum yet, so I'm now going to shut down my PC and go to his house to teach him how to do that.
 
It was really fun! Euroharmony rules! :>

Wow there very nice. Just one thing. The ground, I have no idea whathappend but looks like you didnt let it load, oh well still very nice

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Very nice screenshots, and an amazing Hollywood story

I guess those ground effects came from low amount of memory or video driver bug, this was discussed back some times.

A real world question : In reality, what a co-pilot does in the cockpit, when the captain is "operational" ? For example is he doing the radio communications?

[EHM-0001 Gergely]

Very nice! It's very useful to have a copilot, especially in online flights (where he can do the communication and interpret charts while you're focusing to the navigation).

Congrats!

Thanks for the comments.

I think the ground looks weird because I set the settings to low because high details make the game slow. It's because of the Graphic card or the RAM or both.

Specs:
Intel Pentium 4
2.00 GHz
256 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 128 MB SE

I know my graphics card is old but usually new things over here in Saudi Arabia come very late. The latest ATI Radeon card, 9800, is available in the markets just from a few weeks ago over here. And the local shops prices are double of the prices I've  seen on Internet. I hope my dad will get a credit card soon.

[EHM-1358 Tim]

Hey dont worry you have the same graphics card as me. All you need to do is ud-date your drivers every so often. I think my card is worse than yours :]

[EHM-0641 Rico]

I'd love to see ur shots, but unfortunetly the pics don't load  :{

[EHM-1383 Syed]

Ahh imageshack.us is banned in Saudi Arabia for some reason. I can access the main site and upload the pics as-well but can't see them myself because one of their servers is banned. Anyway, now i've uploaded them on to imageshack.us again. It seems that my host megaone (free) has some problem. Do you also get a 404 for my sig and avatar?

Is there anyother free service like Imageshack?

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

I'm finally seeing someone who gets the same kind of ground i do but yeah i hope you can manage to get a new card soon! hmm.......is a TNT2 worse off that the Radeon 9200?

[EHM-1383 Syed]

I changed my settings to a little bit higher and that makes the ground a little bit better but the game gets really slow. And it takes around a minute or so to change views! Oh well, I'm going to get some more RAM and a better graphics card. I think ATI Radeon 9800 is good.
