I have completed the tasks on Rapid Transit in order to get the Mastery rewards. According to the information, you will see the Airbus Beluga plane flying near Rackwitz station. I have passed several times. Even left the train at the station and walk around for more than 20 minutes, and I never saw the mentioned plane. What exactly must be done, to do it? Is the only reward I can not see it.
...as compensation, I have a screenshot ready of what it looks like when the Beluga flies over Rackwitz. You can also hear him quite well, the audio team did a good job. a tip: it's best to place the Talent2 in Rackwitz (via the scenario editor) and even after a short time the Beluga can be seen in the sky. So I was able to create this screenshot.
Thanks for the picture! But how often the plane pass over there? It always make the same "path" or is on different ones?
If you realistically assume that a plane is circling over the airport in a waiting pattern, it takes at least 10 minutes before you see it again. Even in the game it takes a while if you have to wait for it. So I was glad to have caught it on the first flyover. The flight path also always seems to be the same. The waiting time is a little shorter to see the French squadron over Marseille again, after they completed the first overflight. Probably because the smaller jets can fly quicker turning maneuvers compared to the more cumbersome Airbus Beluga, which also has cargo on board.
Thanks for your comment about it. I was walking near the station, and I saw it at the distance flying over. I waited some minutes, in order to see it again, but nothing. So it is like you mentioned. Then you have be so lucky to see it!. I believed it passed more times. It is strange as the other rewards, you can see it permanently. Ok this is a flying aircraft, but may be one pass each 2 minutes could be better.
Someone who knows about it! The Beluga is already flying very low and has a slight lateral position to the right, so it is definitely turning. Usually holding patterns take place at higher altitudes. But since TSW is a train simulator and not a flight simulator, I think it was an artistic reason to set it lower, so that it can also be seen from the station...
subject airplane: with the last preservation updates, the aircraft models were also overhauled. The two engines are now exactly where they make the most aerodynamic sense. I believe that no Airbus or Boeing license was required for this small but important change. ...fits perfectly into this thread!
