I have offically made my first long haul flight from KFSO to EGLL (San Francissco Intl to Heathrow) The flight was made in a World Travel 747. Here are some screenshots:

Loading the passengers

The Cockpit, im still loading up.

Lowering the flaps to 10 for takeoff, pushback from the gate, engines 1 & 2 are started. Anyway passengers are on.

Waiting for the runway, lots of normal AI flights but hey im getting Traffic 2005 for christmas, and I'm using Project AI at the moment.

Taxi into postiion and hold, World Travel 1123.

Rotate

Differnet angle of the rotation.

Climbing

Cruising some time later.

Some 8 virtual hours later, I begin to descend.

Turing towards Heathrow

The fog im against.

Heathrow is ahead.

---At this point i made a 'Missed Approach' and about 30 minutes later the weather was this :

I landed easily with this type of weather.

Lining up.

Touch down.

Unloading

Ok I hope you liked my screenshts please feel free to comment on them.
Also I would like to say that FSPassenger is a amazing program even the trail is good, i reccomend that everybody gets it.

P.S I lost my flight report, 😞 copyed it but then copied a URL! I know now to take a screenshot of the flight report.

Anyway hoped you enjoyed it,

I'm a little confused, how come the first 4 screenies are in daylight, the next four in darkness, one more in daylight, a few more in darkness, then a few more in daylight???

In FS hit alt and open the FSP menu. Open the pilot's log and double click on the flight you need the report from. It should bring up the report. Also, if you haven't logged any further flights in FSP, you can find it in the FSP directory unter the title, "Last viewed report" or something similar.

you show a shot of you taxiing in the daylight,

then a shot of you ready to go in the dark (i thought, huh - got dark quick),

then 2 of you rotating in the dark..

then one of you climbing in the daylight.. ❓

12 hour flight or not, your timelines seem somewhat screwed up there

I think that only happens if you have 'dawn/dusk texture blending' unticked?
