FS9: A "Classic" Northern Atlantic Crossing

Featured Replies

With the DC-6 from Faeroer via Iceland to Montreal/Canada. No passengers, but a lot of fuel...

 

Preparing the plane at Vágar Airport, Faeroer

The weather is just very antlantic

Surprisingly, at the southern coast of Iceland the weather suddenly got better, leaving the clouds southward behind

Greenland was crossed, still CAVOK conditions

Hours later... arriving over the St. Lawrence stream under "unsure" conditions

And it gets worse, note the cross wind at 02R final

Great shots,which gets me thinking. It's amazing how much FS9 looks like FSX but performs like a million times better.

It's simply amazing, Harald, what you manage to get out of a sim that is over 10 years old  :wink:  :wink:

Elaine, David, HLJames, JYW and Bernd: So many thanks for your kind comments.

 

David, truely spoken about FS9. It took many talented members of the community who have contributed to create what we call "FS9.x" by sky and ground textures, scenery and planes (from the stuff seen at my pictures, only the Keflavik and Montreal Airport sceneries are payware...). A big Thank you to them, too!

What scenery do you use for Vagar Airport? I have scenery for Vagar, but it don't look like yours. (It don' have the mesh or towns like in your shots)

Ed, you can hear it here:

 

Joseph, my Faeroer scenery consits of several parts. First is Vagar airport by Azurafiles. Some years ago it was already freeware; now the company sells it again, maybe slightly improved, under the "reloaded" term. Available at Simmarket or azurafiles.com - much cheaper at the latter.

Then there's the Faeroer freeware scenery with all the settlements including mesh by Ryan Andersen and Peter H. Poulsen, available here:

http://www.webryan.dk/

Click left at FS scenery and scroll down. I frankly don't remember anymore if it also contains the airport and, if so, what to delete to "merge" it with Azurafiles' airport.

Thank you for the link. I had the airport already but didn't have the mesh and other stuff.

I love the old props.. nice to see something different here.

Joseph, have fun with the scenery.

 

Johan, thanks for your comment. I never fly anything that has a FMC...
