Well folks, I decided to do a bit of night flying (including dusk and dawn) the past few days, here are a few of my findings

A falling sun glistening in the Channel



Sunset over France pt 1


Sunset over France - pt 2!



Moonlight illuminates the water in Ibizas port


Sunrise over the Med - pt1



Sunrise over the Med - Pt 2



First rays of sunlight appear from behind the hotels beyond Ibiza's runway 06!




Thanks

fantastic screenies

I would get that 767, but i'm waiting for Captain Sim to finish their 757 package.

Nice - I try to avoid night flying, particularly as FS default airports are abysmally lit!

I'd post some of my shots, but I'm bush flying in the Falklands at the moment, and there's nothing much to see...!

Cheers guys - Could be some more on the way. I'm about to set out on LGW-PMI-LGW

Now do that in a real aeroplane!

I only did one night flight in the real world, down in New Zealand. Pretty unnerving really because I took off from Ardmore with high ground either side completely invisible - I mean its just wooded hillsides there. Over Auckland of course you get a good impression of your situation from the city lights, but out in the country there just isn't anything there. The only reference were the stars overhead. Pretty wierd I can tell you.

PS - Whoever was in the piper crossing the runway I do apologise - I forgot to turn on the landing light (and so did my instructor). Pays to be alert when you're flying.

i enjoy a night flight i cant see whats ahead of me and i cant land well

Great shots. I love travelling/flying at night. I just wish that I hadn't left my copy of MSFS in Sydney as I haven't yet installed it.
