Looks nice

I'll push it to terraGIT, but: is it GPL?

The scenery does not appear to be in terragit, updating e080n20 tile did nothing.
Do you have any other links?

Thank you SHM to have chosen me for the ATC svc.

To all,
the APP svc will be done keeping in mind the main reason which all drive us,
the fun.
So do not expect NEGLECT or other harsh attitude, I let this to others....

Merci

ATC
how is going to be ... Here are my six (hundred) pence's.
(sorry for the length)

PARO is definitely special.
→ Mountain APT
→ High Altitude Engines Response
→ APP path not "in-line" with RWYs
→ Very High Surrounding Obstacles
→ (RL) strong adiabatic winds causing severe turbulences
(I have configured my FG this way )
The risk to eat the Edelweiss with your own teeth is not null !

The best FOES
→ high speed
→ too high
→ too heavy
→ too rushy
With my B703 (very heavy plane) I had nice landings avoiding to have plane's nose lower than the plane's tail.
Descent controlled by thrust lever and Speed brakes.
In the "best" landings I done by some kind of magic, the reverse was set before touchdown !
(that is my small experience - now, you build yours)

Air space needs :
→ only 1 plane at the same time in the valley (bellow FL160)
→ holding pattern at TAKTI FL160/180/200 (@ TAKTI - right turn to 180° - 5 minutes legs)
→ obtain ATC APP clearance before 40 nmi
→ do not descend under FL160 without this clearance
→ add extra fuel for holding pattern at TAKTI @ FL160/180/200
(the pilot approaching before you can have several missed approach)

MISSED APP RWY 15+33
→ keep 328°
→ max 160 kts
→ CLIMB until PRO D9.0
→ RIGHT TURN
→ CLIMB TO VOR-DME PRO
→ RDH 180° to TAKTI until FL160

GO AROUND -
→ follow valley pattern
→ max 160 kts
→ continue as for MISAP

Transition ALTITUDE FL180
Transition FL depend on Meteo Conditions - ask then...

For those who dont want to override the certificate warning I have also pushed it here. (Credits to their respective developers).

last
about the scenarios

I am grateful about the time and attention you all guys paid in sleuthing bugs and errors, V12, D-ECHO, ..., and specially LGBDMG
Thank you
Merci

The first motivation behind this scenario "retouches" was to addresses some problems before the event.
→ create some starting stands for more the 2 airliners
→ add back track pads
→ having a close restart airport (HASHIMARA VE44) with a few (5) starting block (plane crash / FG crashes)

I was wanting to keep this "minimal" but, you know, you retouch here, and there, and you start to spot everything ... then the time run out of control.

So I had to split things in :
1. immediately needed
2. Later welcome.

I have chosen to "flatten" the airport (thus why the small terrain diff)
and to left the terrain rework for later, (so yes it still is in schedule).

Thank you

Last and not least, yes all is GPL

Hi Everyone-- I, unfortunately, will not be available for this event. We are celebrating Christmas at my sister's home, about two hours north of us and I won't have access to my computer with FlightGear and my joystick, etc.

Hope you all have great fun negotiating the descent into VQPR.

I'm looking forward the the next one!

I just checked and found that the weather station closes at Paro by the time we do our flight, so FG shows NIL when using live weather. What's your opinion guys?

[V12]

We should use last known metar string from for example allmetsat.com or someone should try to develop nice weather with layered clouds and some gusty wind.

or someone should try to develop nice weather with layered clouds and some gusty wind.

Problem solved.
Woosh said he will make two METARs (one easy and other one for those wanting more challenge )
