... and approaching into Stewart/BC.

That is going to be an experiment... will it be possible to climb over the mountains here?

Challenging, the engines really get hot here...

Quite some offset in this localizer... but if you are slow enough...

Super shots, and beautiful scenery.

Thank you John. These fjords look like they would be worth a RL trip...

Excellent series Gerold.

Wonderful scenery and your images are so clear and bright.

Well Martyn, this time I was cheating with the weather. I just couldn´t stand having the details of the scenery hidden in clouds. And landing in Stewart without visibility would also not be a good idea...

Gerold, is this P3Dv4?  If so what are you using?  PTA?  REX?  I want that sky, it looks perfect.

No mate, I am still on FSX (and will stay a while, next step is upgrading the GPU but prices are currently too high for me).

And even more simple, this is the default weather setting "sunny skies". Ok, Rex essential OD with the sky theme "over the top OD" and "cumulus 09" clouds are also working.

And a nice flying experience, too. Not so easy to get her out of the valley, but even more rewarding!

I understand Gerold, as it's similar in the Texan. Have to kind of follow the valley's and draws as they climb up as opposed to just heading straight over the tallest peak.
