Yesterday I made a flight for Lufthansa Virtual. It was a take off from one of my favourite airports – London City and an arrival in Frankfurt. The flight was operated by an Avro RJ85 D-AVRB.
The main passenger door of the aircraft is open here.

The landing gear.
The nose wheel.

The right engines seen through the window.
The left engines seen through the window. For the engine views the aircraft was on the runway ready to go.
A view as the aircraft rotates from London City.

The flaps are down because that’s how Avros fly. I put a photo I took on a real Avro to show what I mean. This photo was taken just as we taxied to the runway for take off. You see some flap deployment on aircraft at take off, the amount varies but it’s there.
