Quick look at the scenery. X-Plane airport addons keep getting better and better...

With favourable winds en-route, in less than two hours we fly the arrival segment into Salzburg.

Long final, on the ILS runway 15. Still, this won't be a simple straight-in approach this time around.

Flying special circling procedure for runway 35. Overflying Salzburg city with the airport in the background.

This scenery has to be one of the freeware jewels. Blends nicely with HD Mesh and World2XPlane autogen.

Thanks for your kind words, guys :D

On a side note: those screenshots could have been better, but all of the above 5 flights were online (VATSIM), real-time, real weather (Noaa plugin, accurate winds aloft!) so i couldn't pause the sim or change the weather to get more satisfying results.

 

 

I wonder what are the next destinations for the DHL 757 for today?

Montpellier (LFMT) in the southern France?

Or maybe Dublin (EIDW), the largest airport in Ireland?

 

I really like the possibilities X-Plane brings us today (with good addons, that is).

VATSIM flights are fun when the controllers are online. I was lucky to have atc when I left Heathrow and Arrived at JFK. Surely will fly back to London next week, the new Scenery is a must buy!!
