Trans Atlantic AMS - SXM

[ardypilot]

I finally got around to taking my first trans Atlantic sim flight today, using the POSKY B747 from Amsterdam to St Maarten, 3740 miles of distance and 8 hours in time total.

I took off around lunchtime, set autopilot on once I reached a cruising altitude of FL350- went out with my mates, got home, had dinner, then landed at SXM. Below are some screenshots I took along the way: 15 pics (1.35mb)

Welcome to Paradise-




I know I didn't fly all of the flight by hand, but I still feel satisfied that I managed to land the heavy in a different continent without using time acceleration or anything. Here are a few more thumbnails from St Maarten, quite simular to the above:
