Approach

i would agree with andrewm Maderia LPMA is a nice approach can be tricky thow i find

GULP!!

Try Isafjordur in Iceland. I flew that for real in a Fokker 50, and it is hellish, right between a mountain side and a fjord with very little in the way of navigation help (in FS2002). The mountain looms at you as soon as you take off and you have to make some very steep turns as you climb to avoid crashing. It’s also a short runway.

The landing at St. Maarten is vey good but the tide is always in, so no beach but you still get a good effect.

I love runway 15 at BHX at night time.

Gibraltar, low viz, no glideslope or localizer, GULP, just did it an an Airbus!

Been there done that and was even on the phone during the perfect landing in 100m vis (real world weather too 😮 😮 )

How about Maderia LPMA not thats tricky especially on your first time and not reading the charts (what are the for….?)

its blo0dy annoying isn’t it?!

the most spectacular that ive done is chambery (aix le bains), another french alps approach. ive been led straight into a mountain by the atc on the approach before, and then you get told off for climbing to avoid it becuase you’re 300 feet above your assigned altitude.

Thanks I’ll try Venice, I already tried inn’s it was brill

I love that feeling!! When I landed at INN, I thought I was going to veer off into the mountains but I was at least 500 ft away from them each side.

If you like scenery try Venice. I flew DUB-VCE and started my decent over the alps. You get close to them but never close enough to think your in serious trouble.

I hate to say this, but I have never landed a plane in FS. I just can’t!!

I had that for 3/4 of a year and then I had a lucky land in a BA 320 and since then I’ve done around 300 landings in A340’s, A300’s, B747,757,767,777’s.

Once you land, you’ll think it was luck but believe me, you won’t crash again after. 🙂

I hate to say this, but I have never landed a plane in FS. I just can’t!!

Any appraoch is good in low visibility CW Balmer, but any approach with mountains is good to. I haven’t yet tried Innsbruck i thik i’ll do it now.

The best landing I ever done was yesterday,…I landed my first 747. The big*phew* said it all really.

Gibraltar, low viz, no glideslope or localizer, GULP, just did it an an Airbus!

Try Beef Island (TUPJ) – if you’ve seen the Caribbean Props Osprey book you’ll know what I mean!

Others to try:
Rio Amazonas (SESM)
Portland NAS (EGDP)
St Barthelemy (TFFJ)
Bhojpur (VNBJ)
Saba (SABA)
Paro (VQPR)

I’m certain some of these cannot possibly be true to life. SESM is probably the biggest challenge but as real as it gets? Probably not.

[Portland isn’t far off how it really is but then very few fixed wing aircraft have ever landed there.]

I think I might try Insbruck.

Try Kathmandu in crappy low viz weather!!! Hairier than a mammoth!!! LOL!

Insbruck deffinatly!
