Jack Sawyer Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 P3D 4.5 Orbx Global, Vector, Trees, Buildings, Europe LC AS4 weather. RealAir Duke This was a very challenging flight and I highly recommend it. Reykjavik, BIRK to Isafjordur, BIIS. I followed the magazine article and used the runway 08 visual approach. The level of detail at Reykjavik was astonishing, it's almost like Orbx did it. In clouds most of the way, descending here. Beautiful valleys. I overflew the airport to lose altitude and speed. Swung around to get in the pattern. This is where it gets real tricky. You have to avoid the mountain, descend, and keep the speed low. Very challenging. I made it down but it's a serious challenge.

carlosqr Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Yeap it is indeed difficult there I missed the airstrip several times before I achieve to land But the settings is fantastic, it should be a full Orbx airport, payware quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Great flight, Jack. I second your endorsement of flying Iceland. A fascinating and challenging trip is to fly all the strips on the island. The gorgeous ORBX freeware scenery package makes for a vivid experience, and all the strips are bold and interesting.

Thanks Rodger, it's now on my to fly list. Having a magazine like that is cool, you never know what gems you'll find, like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
