Stillwater Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Getting ready in Hammerfest. A remote place, but so well modeled here! Just look at these huts next to the sloped runway... A last view of the city... ... and it´s out of sight. Next alternate: Hasvik. A nice little detail is the Fakken windfarm. Seems to be at the end of the world... Tromsö. Nearly a metropolis! Bardufoss seems to be an easier-to-land airport... But if you descend next to the Setermoen mountains... ... to approach into Narvik, ... ... you may cross the city as slow as you like: As soon as the ATC assigns you to land on runway 01, you´ll have a bad landing nearly guaranteed, due to the mountains in the approach. At least virtually it works, don´t ask how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 These are very nice Gerold. Great winter caps. I did this flight the other way around a few days ago. In summer that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleT Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - so cold and low light but marvelous shots none the less! I picked up Hammerfest in the recent sale and did virtually a similar flight in the Alabeo PA31-350 a couple of days ago - very interesting as I have NO RL very cold weather flying experience and have not tried it in the sim before with RW Weather and Orbx's fantastic snow and ice renditions - only done summertime before. Very different operational technique required so I appreciate your piloting skill in this regard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different operational technique required so I appreciate your piloting skill in this regard! Hahaha, thank you so much for the comment, TT. Yes, it does look cold - a scenery so brilliantly done. Of a place only few of us will ever travel to. Heating up the engines is one task up here, getting visibility the next. And these mountains... 18 hours ago, adambar said: Very nice set of quality shots Gerold! Thank you Adam! 17 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Another nice winter trip Gerold.
