Amazing flight between Cairo and Dubai today in the PMDG 777-300ER on Microsoft Flight Simulator

TaiModels HECA has definitely got room for a lot of improvement, and for the price a lot of the airport is frankly not good enough though some areas were nice.

Egypt joined us for the departure with some amazing ATC, and we enjoyed the breathtaking livery created by Atarium Liveries too which was just incredible.

Dubai was great as always, lots of fantastic unicom coordination between pilots on the way in showing how vital communication and teamwork is when flying into busy areas on VATSIM - hope you all enjoyed today's stream!

😎 Doha to Male, Maldives today in the PMDG 777-300ER for Microsoft Flight Simulator with the stunning Atarium Liveries QTR pack!

We took the wonderfully detailed OneWorld logojet out of OTHH for the journey to VRMM and enjoyed some truly epic views along the way.

From a hazy departure at Doha, over Abu Dhabi and the deserts of Oman prior to a whopper of a sunset as thunderstorms began to build in the Maldives for the arrival.

We enjoyed the stunning Atarium Liveries BA livery for the PMDG 777-300ER today flying Athens to Heathrow on - amazing ATC from Hellenic VACC as always so big thank you from all of us who fly along and the same for Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network UK with an ever busy Heathrow too!

Tomorrow we're running Doha to Male, Maldives! Come join us!

It's been a wild few days with the release of the PMDG 777-300ER for Microsoft Flight Simulator with all kinds of records I imagine being broken - not least connections to !

Today we rolled fresh out of EGCC in our stunning Osprey Airways mainline livery painted by Tapzi, with Zato's lovely vintage jet version in tow as well. The approach onto GCLP was spicy with some variable, gusty winds but it handled it wonderfully.
