FS2004 Mineralnye Vody to Ekaterinburg

[HaraldG]

Hi,

here are some screenshots from a flight Mineralnye Vody URMM to Ekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport USSS via Magnitogorsk USCM, featuring the great Tu-134 model by SCS.

Taxiing at URMM:

Soon after take-off: A last view towards the Caucasus mountains far in the south:

Descending:

Very low sight at approach, but somehow I managed to land at Magnitogorsk for refuelling.

The next morning: weather is slightly better now. Airport still empty!

Taxiing...

... and departing

Weather looks promising at Ekaterinburg

Finally arrived; some shots from the neighbourhood of my stand.

Lucky to see still a Tu-154

Heavy freighters of several times (are you there, Ed?)

A last picture of the line-up at Koltsovo airport. I hope you have fun!

Regards,

Harald

... it's just the aircraft that is old, not the sim...

Beautiful shots...love the sky theme and lighting...airport has some interesting traffic...still see lots of scenery made for FS9

More likely to be in an An-12 these days .....even more so an IL-76.

I will be back in the B742/743 (with a new FDE) this year. And I'm hoping the Tu-154M will feature as well.

I miss Project Tupolev...

Lovely shots.

FS9 is just so perfect for this... epic stuff, Harald, especially your esoteric AI collection (Somon Air???  )

I do like that last shot, such an unusual framing and feels like you are about to be run over from behind by a big Antonov!

If you look over to avsimrus.com, you'll still find lots of new scenery, especially freeware, for FSX and FS9.

When I started my sim the day after, there were three Il-76 beside me... AI is always good for a surprise.

Tajik, not esoteric (given you don't refer to illegal Marihuana harvesting in soviet Central Asia in the 80ies)
