I did a couple of lfights to LOWI, though I admit not with an airliner only the Longitude, the HondaJet and the Vision Jet, all of them a lot smaller.
Still I like the place, flying the Alps is one of my favorites in Europe. The biggest challenge would be really low visibility, since LOC is offset from the runway and is transmitting you to follow heading 254, while the runway is 257, all this since the runway is not in line to the valley:
Tried some Loss of power conditions over KUUU. the limited FOV actually made it harder than in real life (runway 34/16 is ~2600, runway 22 is 2999 and 4 has a displaced threshold
If you were going to “cheat” you could just simply follow the Glidepath and GS that the G3000 creates on your instruments. I find that really handy flying into airports I’m unfamiliar with, that have no better (or any) approach.
Good point. I will do that next time. Thank you.
Later I was also thinking, I could choose R-NAV approach and enter all waypoints manually. If they were in the database.
I bought it and installed. First impressions are positive, but buying from SimMarket is like pulling teeth…LOL!
Not really interested in making up weather, but it’s great that it more realistically injects weather. Currently trying a FL13 flight into Idaho from Texas and there are a bunch of clouds in the way. Really good looking clouds. Thanks for mentioning it, made me pull the trigger. The nect 1000 hours should be enhanced!
Heh - I hear ya. I just redownloaded it now from the store I bought it from to see if there’s a file size difference. I also opened a Zendesk with the maker.
I’m seeing version 8873, which doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I discovered the map function and it’s very good, shows clouds,aircraft, McDonalds, everything!
Heh - I have a few things there myself, it’s not the greatest for sure. I hate the fact that it installs it but doesn’t give me the option to keep like the Zip file so I can do it myself later on without having to connect to the store again, that’s the biggest pain.
LOL, I saw that last night and was gonna post today, but you beat me to it. I’m just starting to understand all the features, so I think I’ll hold off (unless the Beta is the greatest thing to happen to aviation )
I also noticed the AIRAC is 2210. Not that that matters, I use Navigraph, but thought it was odd. Maybe too expensive or complicated to continually update the cycle for a weather app…
Yesterday I fired up the sim, Active Sky running, but I realized I don’t know how to bring up the User Interface Window to get to the menu. Flew for awhile, obvious thet the app was working (Texas rainstorms, lightning, turbulence, etc.) but wanted to use the Map function and that’s when I realized I couldn’t get there. Tried restarting AS a couple of times but no joy. Submitted a HiFi Zendesk ticket, but no reply. Any ideas?
Incidentally , I landed on runway 18R at DFW during that hellacious rainstorm that closed the airport and I’ve never seen anything like that in regular MSFS weather. Barely made out the runway in time, but raining so hard I couldn’t see out of the cockpit. Runway looked like a river. Awesome…LOL!
Back to the sim!
