Engines running, so it's time to call for "Before Taxi" checklist!

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.

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).

I am quiet familiar with the plane and its paint, but, where can I find this magnificent scenery?

 

Cheers

The town is called Gmunden, in Austria. For the scenery i use the latest W2XP scenery, and ZL17 photoscenery from Simheaven. The airport is freeware LOLU from x-plane.at

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!!
