Yeah, best CRM. Like in the movies. :D
Well, I came in at 44t GW and there was no way I did get my turn rates to match the approach. I've looked at that video and checked the landmarks that Fokker 50 passes by. Then I've tried the 737 again and flew, then slewed back when I was wrong, then flew again, just to quickly check if I can make it.
As said, some 140kts were needed with the flaps at full and only FSX allowed to turn at much slower speeds or go way over 30° bank.
As for other approaches, I had a nice one into RJTT Tokyo Henada. There's an offset localizer or VOR approach coming in through the Tokyo bay. If you fail and overshoot, the Kawasaki petroleum arrangement is close. :D
I have some freeware for Tokyo city and airport, so that's the main attraction there, having that view when flying the bay. The turn and things will be easy for big planes, so the flying itself isn't near that Iceland challenge.
The above chart is a bit older than the current airport. Now, they have that extra runway (23) on the artificial island, that's the one with an offset localizer or some nice RNAV curves. The freeware offers that runway and the bridges connecting it to the rest of the airport.
