747-8 Long Haul in X-Plane 12 | Frankfurt EDDF - Tokyo Haneda RJTT | DLH716
As suggested and requested by a viewer of the channel, one of the real life flights he is going to make. There's a long time since we flew long haul, so this was a refresher.
We take the SSG 747-8 v2.7r3 on the daily Lufthansa service to Tokyo Haneda. The livery, Lufthansa Retro, just as you voted on the community pole.
It was a fantastic flight with a lot of great views and a lot of system and fuel monitoring.
I encountered three problems, two of wich you will notice. BetterPushback didn't want to steer the aircraft properly, so I had to move it it with the map. This deployed the RAT which didn't generate any warnings or EICAS messages and I only noticed it well into the flight when doing an external shot. Second thing was the failures reset I did after the map movement, which for some reason put the fuel to 95 tons, which is why you will see this value on the take-off. Fortunately , through the recording I've tracked how much we spent and made the adjustment during the climb, so it didn't affect the overall flight (but this is why the Volanta fuel consumption is wrong). Third and final one was the Autopilot CMD disengage after I recorded the departure replay, even though the AP was still engaged, the mode was incorrect on the PDF.
Sorry for these little but annoying things. They bother me too, but that's sim limitations, and we have to deal with them.
It was a brilliant flight nontheless, so I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did doing it.
