Hello friends,I've just done a flight from CYVR to CYCG, inspired in a video posted from the guys who are doing a great job with the touch down sounds. There was also a disscusion about whether that airport at Castlegar, BC has RNAV approach or not.Well, as (almost) everyone else, I also have those charts issued back in 2006 and it has an RNAV (GPS) A indeed, BUT it is not intended to follow it as it is, what I think is that it has been designed to take you to a MAP where you MUST have visual contact with RWY 15, then decide to turn back to preform an NDB approach or go back from where you departed (CYVR in this case)What I did was to perform a go-around at MAP on purpose to get myself acquainted with the high terrain around CYCG, then flew the LOC/NDB/NDB D procedure all the way down to flyover CG on 227.0 on the 178° course, then AP disconnected and fly manual turning right to 210° descending at some 1000 fpm, when entering that narrow valley, you should have a visual contact with the rwy, fly direct to the bridge a bit to your left and then turn right to short final rwy 15.Wow, what a challenge guys; I also did the Tut 2 at Insbruk, and this one impacts your skills heavily than the circling to RWY 08 at LOWI !! or that's my very personal impression.Try it out, it worth to take your 737 NGX there!(Done it with the following addons: PMDG B736 (of course) in Westjet colours, REX 2, ORBX PNW, UT Canada and the freeware CYCG scenery by Vern Opperman, converted to FSX by P Nigel Grant from Vancouver)Art Washton.

MHGT (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) North RNAV 02 is the bane of my existence. I've tried it 20 times and have never nailed it. Many vids of this approach on YT, including

which is the best, IMHO. Also this

of the approach.

After trying this tonight I can see where you going, after 5 missed approaches I finally managed to get the drift, if you have the add on scenery then this enhances the experience.

I had tonight LTBJ -IZMIR,MENDERES rwl34 via kula1c arrival,its official but seems the star it's self is not an easy one :( how they do it in real life??

MHTG is definately the hardest approach for me so far. I initially had some issues with LOWI circle to land RWY08, but I nail it now. :(

LOWI 08 CTL was a lot of fun to learn and practice. Hand flying the turn to base and final is the only way to do it. I'm so glad Ryan built T2 around that so lots of other NGX flyers can enjoy mastering that approach.Sorry about entering "MHGT" in my post above -- of course I meant MHTG :( --- my dyslexia revealed to the world. This is one of the reasons I'd be dangerous as a RL pilot.

The River Visual to KDCA isn't exactly as difficult, but it's a fun approach.

I must say I was quite nervous over my first approach to TNCM last week, but I DID get it.....and the River Visual would be my favorite approach if I could run it at more than 4 FPS :(

Try LSZA - RWY 1 approach from PINIK at 6000. I haven't been successful yet but still trying. Also KEGE is a good challenge. Both involve a steep decent!

Unalaska, Dutch Harbor airport KPADU for sure, even the mission is so difficult achieved once.

Tegucigalpa is very difficult for me, too.But, I have difficulties with all non more-or-less-straight approaches. Why? It's because of the lack of peripheral vision. Even in the VC, I don't get the vision I'd need to fly all those great curved approaches well. I bet that if I were in a real plane, Tegucigalpa, Innsbruck, Santos Dumont,... wouldn't give me that much of a problem! It's a "simulator restriction" - in the sim, that's what I'm very convinced of, this lack of peripheral vision and the lack of movement sensation make landings a good factor more difficult than they would be in real life. I bet.

MHTG, CYGC, LOWI, LPMA, SBRJ - those are mine as far as airports the plane really goes into.I tried to land the NGX at Lukla during testing - that was pretty hilarious, didn't work very well.

Get TrackIR5 and that problem would have been solved. :(

I thought that Tegucigalpa was the most difficult, until I tried the approach on VQPR: Paro Airport in Bhutan.

With surrounding peaks as high as 18,000 ft (5,500 m) it is considered one of the world's most challenging airports,^[1] and as of October 2009, only eight pilots in the world are certified to land at the airport.^[2] Flights at Paro are allowed under visual meteorological conditions only and are restricted to daylight hours from sunrise to sunset

The most difficult I made so far was the approach on LOWI's RWY8.
