Ed Correia Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 My dad was from there and I still remember travelling there as a child. And before the runway was extended. Last time I was there I was 12 years old and still remember the landing. The landing was so "violent" that some of the overhead compartments flung open. And looking out the window as the plane banked in for the landing scared the sh&% of my younger brother as the sea looked so close. I've loved flying since then, but my brother hates is. Go figure.

Stian Rolandsen Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Ah yes, Madeira, my number 1 spot to test my manual approaches. A new scenery is coming too: http://www.freewebs.com/lpma/ and http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=139720 Though it seems to be FS9 only at this moment, but it might work with FSX in the future.
