Flight Simulator Modeling

CNN wide shot:


Tried to match the CNN wide shot using Flight Simulator. It's not perfect but it is close:




However, then keeping the plane in the same exact place, I moved the Flight Simulator "camera" to the angle in this shot:


But the plane position is not even close:


This is the video:


The plane is never that far out from the tower.

In the CNN simulation at top, the plane is somewhat too large compared to the towers-- meaning I had it too close to the towers. It seems to me that moving the plane farther out would most likely result in the plane being even farther away from the tower in the second angle. Nonetheless, I will try the simulation to see what happens.
