Very nice, Ahmet.   Only brave pilots go there. 

I see you are coming in on runway 05, flying the southern part of that eight-figure. It's tricky, right? Perhaps you can line up with the runway even sooner when using the waterline as help.
Haha, it's so easy to say this, don't ask me how often I flew this one and I still can't handle it.  

See where they want you to fly towards the runway, there's an obstacle to the right (it's hard to see, an antenna with a light on top) and the city of Queenstown to the left. You keep on the very left side of that water body. For your altitude, use the PAPI lights as soon as you see them when turning final.



With the default scenery, it may be a bit more difficult to spot the details, but here's your entry point.


With Orbx, it looks like this.  


An here's how Google Earth shows it.

Thanks for your kind words, Ahment.

Same as you, I would love to see some more scenery in that quality around the whole globe. That would be very cool. Well, FSX does a good job on giving 'some' impression (mountains, that river and so on), but the colours are off.

Try this in the 737!

I now have Orbx AU and NZSI installed again. So I get to try the approach to Queenstown in the 737-200.
I think I would much  prefer to do it in the 737-100 though! It's a tad smaller and lighter.

No way would I try it in the 747. You'd have to be crazy to! Did I just call Lou crazy? Oops!

When I was still flying the Dash 8 some many moons ago we had a Kiwi Sim Instructor who used to fly the Dash in NZ, sure as eggs for practice in the sim we would get the Queenstown approach in 8/8 down to minimums with strong winds and icing thrown in, he reckoned the approach sorted out the men from the boys, amazing how close the hills can seem some days.

For fun we were also given the challenge of over the top at 10,000, idle power and a glide approach visually into Queenstown, amazing what good short field performance you could squeeze out of a Dash 8.

Anyhow I am off to try the LOU challenge in th 727 in Iceland. Done the Queenstown thing to death. Loved the scenery addons though.

The approach into BIIF is a real challenge in a jet.

The circling approach to RW-08 is a hoot! I tried it in the 727 and made it, but it was not pretty!  
I needed +30 degrees of bank at minimum speed to get the turn rate that I needed to make the runway.
The 737-100 was a lot better, but still VFR, day only!

I'm using another company Iceland scenery. I also have BIKF airport scenery.
The another company ad-on scenery of Iceland helps as it would with the ORBX of NZ.

CoolP,

For the kind of flying I like to do, the CS737 is a good all around aircraft.

I love the BIIF chart page. It looks worse on the chart than in the another company scenery. 

The Faeroes are a beautiful place with wonderful people. What a nice story.
