I checked it now on TS object database, and I found out that most of the objects has been uploaded to TS from the last time I checked. So, its ok use terragit or TS.

Alright, thanks. Can't wait for it
Hope to have the MF1 in a better state than the current before the event.
Regards, Mav

I work currently hard on an A-124 Ruslan under JSB. Maybe, just maybe, I can make it in time to fly her to LOWI. But those animations ... and all those sounds ... four engines, 24 wheels, ... duuuh! At least, I have now all the wheels on it again. I took off for the first test flight and left some in Sydney last night ...

Interesting choice

I got a PM saying the link to the charts is broken. Its fixed now

Yeah, I've flown into LOWI several time with KL-666 and ph-cor. I didn't have a problem except remembering Frequencies...

Come on, LOWI is not all that hard. I know of some airports that are quite a bit harder. You have only to think of Paro in Buthan.

Kind regards, Vincent

Ok, send me a video of you doing LOC DME WEST for runway 08 (two 180 degree turns) with 30 kt crosswinds gusting 50, and then you can tell me it's easy. Of course coming in from the east direct for 26 with no wind is easy, but that's not what makes LOWI fun.

I agree that Paro is as challenging, if not more so.

I created the routes for both LOC DME east and west a while back for the flightgear route manager. You can find them here: https://github.com/mdgrk/lowi

Those files are not working in 2016.4.1.

Could you give it a check?

Thanks,

AFAIK, OEV west is deprecated since they ditched the old ww2 props. So, i'm sorry chap, i'll have to come in east with my modern 777. Both rw's are accessible from that side, and a bit of x-wind has never hurt anyone. Actually, i doubt if you will ever get that kind of x-wind there, because it would be completely cross the valley embanked with high mountains.

And i certainly will not go through time consuming video making, for nothing interesting at all.

Kind regards, Vincent

I'll take up the challenge in the 737-300-CHT version.
