December 19, 200223 yr Hi Domingos:Thanks again for the updated eurswils.bgl file. The answer to your question is to file IFR and use a published STAR and Jeppensen-type approach plate. I have never run into a problem flying a STAR, even to an unfamiliar airport at night in mountainous terrain and IFR. They make sure your crossing altitudes are safe and they steer you around or through the mountains.Alex ChristoffN562ZMinneapolis, [email protected] PowerSpec G426 PC running Windows 11 Pro 64-bit OS, Intel Core i7 11700K @ 3.60GHz 30 °C, 4089MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 , ASUS TUF Z590-Plus Gaming motherboard, Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD, Samsung 750 EVO 500GB SSD, Acer Predator X34 34" curved monitor (external view), RealSim Gear G-1000 avionics suite, RealSim Gear GNS 450, Slavix Stay Level Custom Metal Panel, Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Redbird Alloy THI, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals.
December 19, 200223 yr Author Hello Alex,Did you test the approach to Genoa with the new bgl file? I find it is OK now.As for the flight plan, I always check IFR. Where do I get the STAR information? I have heard about it but I do not know what it really is and how it is used.Regards,
December 22, 200223 yr Author Hello Alex,In my last message under this topic I said I did not know what a "STAR" was. In fact I have them in my Jeppesen package for Europe, but I was not paying them any attention, the same apllying to the SID charts. No I realise that, with the information on them, I can correct my FS flight plan.In the example I gave, flying from Munich to Innsbruck, the FS Flight Planner states a cruise altitude of 6000'. This is not sufficient, as we can read in the STAR chart for Innsbruck, where in the last leg you are required to fly at 12000'.Regards,
