It’s been a while since the last post, but there are 3 reasons for that.

First I was one week in Atlanta on a business trip. I flew from Vienna via London to Atlanta. I enjoyed a smooth ride with the Boeing 777-200 from British Airways over the Atlantic ocean. There also this perfect picture was taken. Its really a massive GE90 engine to be watched from the window seat 😉

Second, we enjoyed a week of family vacation in Italy.

And third, its hot, very hot in Vienna. For the last 2 weeks we had around 30-35°C each day. Not very refreshing in the non air-conditioned flight deck 😉

Back in 2016 I have started my streaming / capturing setup for some flight. During the month of usage I have changed and adopted a lot.

Since a couple of month I am running a stable configuration in terms of camera angle and the organisation of the picture. Below you can see the actual setup and a short description the 16 different information spots.

1. Actual Flight Number
2. Departure and Destination Airport in ICAO standard
3. Remaining flight time (direct route)
4. my blog address
5. virtual airline I am flying for
6. Main Flightdeck View – captured from an SJCAM 4000 Action Cam
7. First Officer View – captured from an Logitech Webcam 720p
8. Captains CDU
9. First Officer CDU
10. Captains Chrono
11. Actual Flap position
12. Captains PFD
13. Captains ND
14. EICAS Screen
15. Lower EICAS Screen
16. moving flight map incl. altitude in feet and meters, outside air temperature in °C and speed in knots and km/h

I will now explain a little where all the information is coming from.

Since a couple of years I was running the same design on this blog. The most thing that was bothering me lately, was the limited space for bigger pictures. So I have searched and tried a lot themes. In the end I chose this one, direct from WordPress, the 2015 theme.

Very simple design and I can use larger picture sizes to show you more detail.

I hope you enjoy it. Comments are always appreciated.
