At the gate EDDK
A short and scenic flight this morning taking 94 passengers to Innsbruck. Weather at EDDK for departure was CAVOK with winds 110/06kts and +4C. Using a COL1F departure off runway 14L to the COL VOR and then on towards Frankfurt.
Taxi to 14L at EDDK
It was clear over this part of Europe this morning and we had some great views as we approached the German/Austrian boarder. Not to mention a great sunrise too.
Coming to the German/Austrian boarder
Arrival weather was looking good for LOWI with wind 270/09kts and CAVOK at +1C. Using the TULSI3A arrival straight in to runway 26 at LOWI.
Final for runway 26 at LOWI
The TULSI3A arrival on to runway 26 has you coming in high and hot over the valley and calls for the gear to come down early, as well as adding flaps along the way. You fly down the middle of the valley and it is very scenic but hectic as you feel rushed due to the quick descent.
Spotters shot
I took over from the autopilot while I was well out and hand flew to a grease job really. It is a short runway here (just over 6'500ft) so I used a flaps 40 approach with max auto brake.
Parked at LOWI
Fifty Five minutes gate to gate.....

Little late with the comment, Al, but those are great shots. I'm a huge fan of the iFly 737 too, so you can't go wrong there.
Been messing around with the FSDT KLAX this week, which is good but features a wicked texture loading pause at certain points. The textures are already pretty small, so editing them doesn't help much without losing important detail. Still tweaking....
Hey Pitts! I find the auto pilot diconnecting a little annoying with the IFly. Maybe you can mail me some mtweaks you have used (or suggestions).
KLAX is well done but some of the textures (like the cargo area buildings) are completely blurry. I'm glad at least they did make a FS9 version so I would hate to complain.
I do look forward to PANC for FS9....
