February 13, 200323 yr I thought I'd test out the approach characteristics some more on the legendary and steep approaches into the LOWI Innsbruck Valley where the approach starts at 9500 (East) or 11500 (West) feet and has very steep approach gradients and extremely tight circling turns, one of the most demanding airfields in the world.Speed and overall aircraft control was a breeze during the entire approach and landing phase (you might want to set your autobrakes to max) :)Pic 1: LOC EAST performed with a circling over the plateau south of the field for runway 08.

February 13, 200323 yr OK, here we go.

February 14, 200323 yr Author Hello Haroon, These are IFDG aircraft using a real world pilot's FDE {Iz} and can be downloaded right here on Avsim's Library. You want any type as long as its a Version 2. Start here http://library.avsim.com/whatsnew.php?Sort=Name For the correct procedure for using PIC's Panel with this great aircraft follow my instructions here; http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID33 And just in case you missed my VFR panel which can be used with this {it's just installed into your PIC panel folder} Read about it here; http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...33&viewmode=all Here is a shot of the panelEmail me if interested,Anything else I can do for you feel free to ask!Best Wishes,Randy J.

February 15, 200323 yr Author The AA bird is really incredible looking I must admit. Take a look at the side shot here and notice all the little things that make it look almost life like!Best Wishes,Randy J.

February 16, 200323 yr Hi Randy,Thank-you for the instructions. I was able get the bird airborne without a glitch. Few questions regarding the airfile. (You may not be the correct person to ask, but maybe you've come across this issue)I did a flight today EGKK-KCLE... which called for almost full fuel 34 tons (Quiet common on this westbound leg)On departure, aircraft climbed at no more than 2000fpm using derate TO of 47C. I never saw 2k fpm climb again. Above FL150 it was around 1000-1500fpm. And dropped to mere 500fpm @FL260... after FL290 aircraft could not maintain 300kts/M800. Is this normal for the Version 2 airfile?Cruise N1 was around 98% and as complained in many messages... I never got idle descent or approach? LBefore I go on and on
