A Helicopter Shot... In IF?

I thought it would be cool to try my hand at recreating helicopter spotting at LAX, in IF!



Flight: UAL152
Route: KLAX-VHHH
Flight Time:15:08



(Photo compression killed the quality of this shot)


Thank you for viewing!

Thanks @Cwaker, panning makes everything better!

It’s helicopter spotting, the shot was taken from a helicopter (in spirit)

What area51 secrets are IF devs hiding from us… let alone what magical power do you poses to get a helicopter in a sim with no helicopters? (JK)

Ah, makes sense, I wonder if helicopters could become a thing for the game in the future?

Thank you!

And, wow… props to you for enduring that. Sounds like a long, grueling trip

HUD’s are so cool, if I ever get to check out a 787’s cockpit, that would be the first thing I’d go to:

(Not my picture, ofc)


I also took this pic, on the return flight

That’s awesome! I’m excited to (hopefully) see an interactive HUD once the B789 gets reworked

Ok that’s just a cursed pic

Technically real though, same with this. I’ll never get over them.
