Leipzig to Tbilisi with the Tu-134

Featured Replies

Hi,

some pictures from a journey Leipzig EDDP to Tbilisi UGTB via Istanbul-Atatürk LTBA. I followed the route I flew four weeks ago in real world, with exception that I started at Berlin-Tegel then. But from the Polish/Czech border on the route should be quite the same.

Taxiing at Leipzig...

Still an Interflug plane!

That is where I live: A sharp turn over Dresden. In fact, my house is situated where the rear end of the plane points to.

Approaching to Istanbul-Atatürk. As you surely know, this airport will be closed soon, replaced by a new built airport north of Istanbul. However, in my simulator it will be live on.

Now let's go into the town and have a good glass of Georgian wine. As I was in Georgia only two weeks ago, my rememberings are still fresh!

Plane: Freeware by SCS, available at avsim.su

Sceneries: Leipzig by Aerosoft (payware); Istanbul-Atatürk by Gökhan Bayrakdar; Tbilisi by Alexander Svanidze

Have fun!

Regards, Harald

Marvelous series of shots...nice to match the route to one you actually flew! Also, your AI aircraft do add a very special touch!

Job well-done! Enjoy your wine now...🙂...

Thanks again P_7878!

Wine did taste well, it was a 2016 Kindzmarauli from Qvareli town in eastern Georgia. By the way, when drinking, I found out that my AI traffic is kind of outdated: Georgian National deceased, while there's a new airline Myway Airlines at Tbilisi. Some work to do...

Great post series as ever, Harald. Your AI never ceases to amaze.
My airports eventually succumbed to terminal go-around (wow that is some flightsim pun!) because I was far too lazy to unpick superseded airlines. 🙂

Wonderful set Harald! Great to see you back in the Tu-134. Love your AI gems.

I have made the AMTES hangar at EDDP for the Aerosoft scenery. (My first venture into GMAX modeling). It will feature in my next video LSZH/EDDP VDA1035.  😎

Hi WingZ and Ed, I'm glad you still like those arrangements.

Did research: neither a flightplan nor a livery available for Myway Airlines...!

Unfortunately my time for developing the simulator gets less and less (work, house, family etc.). So I continue to harvest the fruits I planted five years ago or even earlier. However, I think that then and when a new Georgian airport will appear.

Good luck Ed for your 3D modelling career. I much appreciate that you picked up an airport that is so near to my home! Looking forward for the video!

What a superb flight, Harald and thank you for taking us along

When you update your AI, don't delete the Interflug liveries, it adds a nice sentimental touch to AI. For the same reason I keep my Air Berlin planes 😉

This will never happen; these planes are part of my "historic planes standing around and flying a pattern once a week" strategy. Air Berlin continues to live in my simulator, too; some airports would be quite empty without. What I meant are some defunct and some new airlines in Turkey and Georgia.

And I still don't know what to do with Atatürk airport as soon as a version of the airport will be available.

P.S. Did you spot the plane of the early GDR's Lufthansa?

No, Harald, I didn't. But now that you told me, it's the Il-18 in your second shot 😊

Thanks Ed for posting. I'm in Leipzig next week; if I have time I'll look out for the Volga-Dnepr planes when passing by at the Autobahn!
