St. Thomas - Beef Island 737 Cockpit Flight (Home Simulator)

Come aboard on a short (30 mile) flight from St. Thomas to Beef Island, Tortola! First Officer James Rowson does the takeoff on runway 10 out of STT, and I fly the visual approach to runway 7 at Beef Island. 737s don't go into Tortola in real life (the largest scheduled flight is a Dash 8-300), but the short 4600ft runway and curving visual approach is a challenge and the 73 can certainly handle it!

FS2004, wideFS, and Project Magenta networked over 6 PCs, with three projectors warped over a 24' curved screen providing the visuals. Hardware components are from Flight Deck Solutions, CPFlight, Poldragonet, SISMO, and ACE. The seats are out of a real UPS 727-100QPF. Yes, I know the yokes aren't linked and there are visible projector seams on the screen. The latter is on the "to do" list, along with about 50 other projects.

Enjoy!

[mdmarkdaniel46]

no the dash 8 is not the largest plane that goes there the atr 72-500

[MrCars]

@Arkipelago2 That indicates there is a thousand feet left to climb/descend before reaching your targeted altitude.
