FSX Flights to Dubai

Just decided to lump together a couple of flights I did that ended in Dubai.  The first is the 787 flight which was actually a real life flight from Doha to Dubai.  Short 40 min flight but worth it to fly the 787. The second was a bit longer flying the A380 from Cairo to Dubai.  Not much scenery along the routes but Dubai has a nice cityscape.  Unfortunately there was a haze both days but you can still see the tall buildings.  I really like Dubai's airport layout.  Also I was able to do the new camera view at the end of the runway which provides some great views.

United 787 flight from Doha to Dubai

Altitude: 24000ft
Speed: 330kts
Distance: 235 miles
Flight time: 58 min
Landing: Rwy 12R ILS Landing

Landing was very nice but once again a bit left of center.  I also didn't expect the start of the runway to be down past the tower.  It was interesting.  Felt like I needed to stop quickly.




The Emirates A380 flight from Cairo to Dubai was my first time flying this big heavy.  The A380 even with its size is very responsive and maneuverable.  I added an Airbus cockpit because the default was a 747 cockpit.  More accurate but harder to see out.  The landing still came off almost perfect.

Altitude: 29000ft
Speed: 320kts
Distance: 1,507 miles
Flight time: 3hr 31 min
Landing: Rwy 12L ILS Landing

Landing was very smooth.  Took a bit for the nose to come down which was probably my fault.


12L starts a bit back farther from 12R...Virgin taking off on 12R very cool


No sound for some reason but still a very cool view

Bonus video is a FlyDubai airlines 737-800 flight from Tel Aviv to Athens at night.  Over adjusted a bit on the landing.
