What's reality anyway?, ANA at Haneda

On the observation platform at Haneda. Living in a simulation. (casual, flight to anywhere, approaching sunset)

Oh, forgot ground services:

Amazing job! I’m so satisfied, looking right at the tower, lightpost and the tail in the photos. You nailed it!

Thank you!

I like that idea. My mind is kind of thinking along those lines when I visit irl airports. But a series, that makes sense. I’d like to see what other people come up with. And thank you!

Thank you!

I was struggling for some angle or theme on the observation deck which is really in your face at Haneda. But much of the airport is in the distance on the other side of the runways from the international terminal. So, with only a phone camera, I found it tough to come up with a way to take it all in. I really needed better zoom (I’m not a photography expert). Got a bit lucky with time of day for our departure.

Thank you!

I’m glad you noticed the tail, light post, and tower line up.

I was trying to do that in the irl shot as best as possible (just because it kind of presented itself in front of me), but I didn’t see the light post was there in the IF screenshots until after I posted it! (not well seen on my phone)

The airport layouts are awesome!

Perfection!
I wish the person who designed the airport used the jet bridge with the glass window instead of the current one with the red stripe in the middle for Haneda’s Terminal 3.

Thanks!

Of course there’s always one more step to perfection, but what is given vs any inevitable gaps to further fill in, is pretty amazing. There’s a real honest dedication to creativity and craft here. I might say a certain authenticity of representation in the core details.

Wow, with the better lighting (and shading) and clouds we’re all waiting for, one could hardly distinguish RL from IF here… I mean RF from IL, err..
Amazing

Wait a Minute

My only possible simulator as a kid was a cardboard box “painted” with felt tip pens illuminated with a small flashlight. Yeah I’m old.
