Ok, first 'real' attempt. ASE gave me a visibility of 2sm. Lol. Don't ask about my turns before landing.  Embarrassed

In the video, when they approach the runway on short final, it appears that you could shoot spitballs from a straw if you were standing on the mountain ledge. Insain approach!  Shocked

Makes for fun in FSX though  Grin

Please feel free to try it and post your pics.

I had a hell of a ride in the lovely 737-200. Very tricky and I will do it again, same as on the other locations in this thread. But I guess the very, very high mountains are unique on this one and I'm really happy some freeware dev rendered the airport. Lucky us!  Cheesy

What, 767? That big? Yikes! Well, let us know how it works out. You still have the 757, just in case.  Tongue

It's all about the thrill right?  Grin But yes it might require unrealistic braking and payloads Wink

Maybe you are lucky and the rather 'boosted' breaking in FSX helps you. I actually like the challenge you set up with trying the 767, same as Lou's and Ahmet's 747 attempts at the other locations.

I will go for the 737 later, trying again to perform that circling action a bit better.

Here we go again ... Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I just watched the  737  video. I noticed scenery is different then FSX default VQPR. Which  scenery we should follow? Smiley

(I tried to download Paro_Bhutan FREE scenery, Rapid_Share is asking 9 Euro for download) Undecided

You name it.  Cheesy

The Rapidshare download should work without an account. It may be slow but working. Just click the green download button (not the others with 'signup' and stuff) and wait a bit.

I've loaded it the same way. I've just clicked it again and the download takes some 6 minutes, which is ok. If it still doesn't work, please write me a message.

There also is some payware, I'm thinking about getting it as nearby airports in e.g. India offer some nice regular routes. Lets see. The freeware works fine though.

Thanks
I downloaded.
Now....I am going to my CS727-100. Grin
-----------------------------------------------------------
Woow..That wasn't easy flight with 727. Three approaches and finally landed on RW15. Turning  into Airport with 40 degrees bank and sharp decent was not realy much desirable flight...but I made it.
How my passengers doing???, I have no idea how they are doing,...I said to FO...Son..today is your day I am giving you the yoke  and I slided from window to tarmac.  I will never forget his shocked face and still firmly holding yoke.... Grin Grin Grin
Hey..hold a second ..before you say any thing...I am the CAPTAIN of this ship..or was I.... Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Passengers love to see grasses are, TOUCHING TO THE WING TIPS  Grin Grin

Great pictures, especially the 'banking' one. The 727 looks really good at that place and since you've mastered the landing, I'm running out of options for even more difficult locations.

I'm still on trying some more with the 737 though.

Great flying Sanal! I doubt I could do that landing myself! AND I don't blame you for sliding out of the window after that. I think I would have too! Cheesy Grin Tongue

And good luck to you too CoolP! Shocked

Thanks, Mark. But lets not forget, there may still be a 767 inbound to Paro, that's Evan's plane.  Cheesy

I was on my way from Kathmandu to Paro now and it seems like the training works out. I don't crash, but land.  Grin By the way, Kathmandu VNKT is also available as freeware and has a nice approach into that valley, only offering some VOR guidance first and later needing a visual part to actually make it to the runway.

Seems like this could be our next candidate.  Smiley Enroute to Paro, you will see this. The Himalaya Range to the left.




On Paro again, here's a nice video where they come in on rw15.


And here's another one in very good quality. Watch it in HD on YT, the scenery is magnificent. Note that this is rw33, not 15 as in the other videos.

Very nice scenery, but when I go to download the scenery it say it's for FS 2009.
Will it work for FSX?
Hope so since I just sold a lot of seats on the 747  Shocked
