Just Flight Recreates Miracle on the Hudson Simulation
Posted by Wade, 42 days ago Jan 16, 2009 21:04

Most of us have seen the ongoing (excessive? -SG) news of the plane crash in New York City’s Hudson River. Along with the news footage some may have seen the simulation from inside the cockpit as the plane was in its descent into the river. Our friends over at Just Flight were the ones who created the simulation.

The reconstruction used the A320 from Airbus Series Vol.1 and the LaGuardia airport scenery from the World Airports 3 DVD, all running in FSX. Then a BBC reporter, Rory Cellan-Jones, did his piece to camera from their Huntingdon office and at the aircraft controls was Martyn Northall from the Technical Support team. The footage they supplied originally appeared on the BBC Six and Ten o’clock News and is the ’most watched’ video on the BBC site.
