Beautiful Austria...

And the journey continues... BCS3084 "EUROTRANS" THREE ZERO EIGHT FOUR DEP: ULLI (Sankt-Petersburg, Russia) DEST: LOWS (Salzburg, Austria) LEVEL: FL380 ROUTE: LISNA B141 RANVA P863 RESMO N619 TIGNU B73 RANOK P861 RASAN UP861 RAK UT108 NIRGO T108 OSTES T700 SBG Commencing pushback from stand 701. 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. Right base to runway 35. Vacating runway via taxiway Bravo. Another successful landing ;] This scenery has to be one of the freeware jewels. Blends nicely with HD Mesh and World2XPlane autogen.

Thanks for your kind words, guys 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).

All I could think of is wrong sided normals...

Also working on a lit Lions Gate Bridge for those who miss the feelings of Vancouver at night. Texturing is a difficult process on this one.

BCS260 "EUROTRANS" TWO SIX ZERO DEP: EDDL (Dusseldorf, Germany) DEST: EGGD (Bristol, UK) LEVEL: FL360 ROUTE: MODRU Z717 GOBNO UZ717 MAS UM617 SOGRI UL608 DENUT UL610 RAPIX L610 LAM DCT CPT Dusseldorf. Clear sky morning. First leg of the day and shortest one (372 nm). Great view on the Rhine river during initial climb on MODRU9T departure out of runway 23L. Passing over cloudy London Descending on the ILS runway 09 into Bristol. Can you spot the runway? Bristol's runway isn't a very long one. Entering the apron via last turnoff (taxiway Alpha). Loading containers and fuel. Next flight will take approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. BCS1024 "EUROTRANS" ONE ZERO TWO FOUR DEP: EGGD (Bristol, UK) DEST: EPLB (Lublin, Poland) LEVEL: FL370 (step climb FL390 at POVEL) ROUTE: WOTAN L9 CPT UQ295 CLN UL620 REDFA DCT POVEL/N0458F390 DCT SUI L980 CZE L981 KOTEK T709 LUKOX Leaving Bristol city on the left side. WOTAN1Z SID. Looks like the weather over eastern Europe is gloomy. 85 minutes into the flight. Crossing the border between Germany and Poland. IMC prevail during approach to Lublin... ... but we make it to the ground safely. Our next flight will take us just over 400 nautical miles south of here. BCS3556 "EUROTRANS" THREE FIVE FIVE SIX DEP: EPLB (Lublin, Poland) DEST: LRCK (Constanta, Romania) LEVEL: FL350 ROUTE: DCT SOVUR M977 DIBED N195 BUKOV UN616 EVIKA N616 PILAT Following uneventful departure the 757 catches last rays of sun over Carpathian mountains. Taking advantage of the tailwind it's only 50 minutes before we reach our Top of Descend (TOD). Amazing quality of Constanta's scenery (freeware!). You can get it from DAI-Media (www.dai-media.com). BCS4104 "EUROTRANS" FOUR ONE ZERO FOUR DEP: LRCK (Constanta, Romania) DEST: ULLI (Sankt-Petersburg, Russia) LEVEL: FL340 (step climb FL370 at PNK) ROUTE: DIRAL M747 VEVIN P727 DENAK UT74 URELA UP727 BUKOV P727 PNK/N0451F370 DUBIN M854 GATVA Y237 TITOV M994 PIRUS B210 OGINO Rolling takeoff from Constanta's runway 36. Remember clear skies in the morning? Next we've met some cumulus over Bristol, rain in Lublin and now it's snowing in Sankt-Petersburg! Short final runway 28R with a good view on Pulkovo 2 terminal. Staying overnight in cold Russia...

Work continues. We're treating this as the final update to the Saab, so we're making sure everything is covered.
