Stillwater Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 No fear, mates, this is neither a latin lesson nor a history one. This is "just" a flight between the two airports that come as a bonus in Magnus´ Kiruna scenery. An early morning start in Visby... ... where de-icing was requested by the ground crew. Taking off in southerly direction, ... ... yields a beautiful turn over the historical city of Visby. No too much to see from the swedish landscape... ... but the approach to Borlänge / Dala was even worse: Some might call this "whiteout"... Due to the wind direction we were guided into runway 14 - which does not have an ILS. And the visibility was not really good... Nevertheless, we found the runway, finally. The next challenge was finding a useable taxiway... Made it. A great flight, and two bonus airports that make Kiruna to a "must-have" scenery for me. And I did not even visit Kiruna itself yet...

Captain Lars Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Nonetheless I have no idea what you want to say with your title... Challenging approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andiflyit Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Excellent set Gerold and this is really white snow. I think I have to do a winter preset. The Visby scenery is great, I like it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Thank you John. It is really impressing what can happen in these sims today. Even if you don´t see much scenery... 20 minutes ago, andiflyit said: Excellent set Gerold and this is really white snow. I think I have to do a winter preset.

I have changed nothing to the colours, just p3d, orbx and REX4TD - with no special setting. 30 minutes ago, Captain Lars said: Nonetheless I have no idea what you want to say with your title... Challenging approach! So easy, I thought: bonus sceneries in Magnus Almgren´s Kiruna scenery. Which makes a total empire of 4 sceneries from him in Sweden. And these are a (surprising) pleasure to me. This approach was even more than a challenge... I had the ILS32 prepared, when ATC assigned RNAV14Z to me. visibility was about 500 ft AGL. 2 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: Wow, no ILS and a whiteout?

Looks like you might see some white stuff down your way on Tuesday Jack : Rain and snow before 1pm, then a chance of snow between 1pm and 4pm. Enjoy it my friend !! .

"Imperium Magni Boni" I'd say. 26 minutes ago, Stillwater said: This approach was even more than a challenge...

Rodger Pettichord Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Gerold, this is a set of beautiful pictures, a fine story, and a scenery show. My only reservation is when ATC says forget the ILS and land in whiteout. If I got down alive, I'd be climbing that tower soon after landing.
