FS2004 Krasnoyarsk to Podkamennaya Tunguska

[HaraldG 559]

Hi folks,

here are some impressions of a flight from Krasnoyarsk-Cheremshanka to Podkamennaya Tunguska with an Antonov An-28 along River Yenisey.

The next picture shows the two Krasnoyarsk airports: Cheremshanka, mostly for small aviation, to the left; and Yemelyanovo International Airport to the right:

Most time of the flight we follow river Yenisey.

At final approach to Podkamennaya Tunguska. This airport is named after the river of the same name, that flows into river Yenisey just at the opposite riverside. It's the very same river where 1908 the Tunguska meteorite impact occured.

Landed!

Now let's do some skiing, fishing or Lada'ing.

Best regards,

Harald

Superb set Harald! Love the interesting airports, love your AI and I'm loving that cute An-28!.....she is new to me. 😎 

I googled a quick vid of the An-28 and she was not so cute...the engines were quite loud in the cockpit.

Is the sound set for this model nice and loud? (I have not installed her yet)

Thanks Ed.

It's very loud!

Excellent shots, Harald. Your scenery with all its add-ons always looks so impressive !!

I too decided to have a look at a cockpit video of the An-28. Harald, did you try the barrel roll?

If I'm reading what I think is the altimeter correctly, the pilot appeared to enter the manoeuvre at about 450metres and then lost about 125metres during the roll.

Thanks for commenting Bernd and Mark. I probably won't try a barrel roll with that type until I have drunk a barrel of Vodka, and that is, let's say, quite unlikely.

Great scenery and a unique subject, Harald.  No end of interesting places to fly in Russia!

It is exactly so, John, and I only have to add that there are still new freeware add-ons for FS2004 coming from the Russian community from time to time so that there's always something new to try. Thanks for your comment!

Btw Harald, I have done quite a bit of flying lately in Kamtschatka. An absolutely fascinating area and I can image that you would love flying there too. Few airports though, but absolutely amazing scenery. I did it in the new sim that nobody is allowed to talk about. You'll love it for sure 😉

Quite an interesting Antonov plane, you've got, here, Harald!

Always, like your choice of ORIG/DEST airports/trips and the narratives...great (travelogue) pictures, here...!

Thanks P_7878 for commenting! Plane is interesting, indeed, but veeery slow.

Regarding Bernd's comment about Kamchatka: Have been simming there with the Tu-134, but with a fast and high flying plane there's not that direct scenic impression. Will try it there with the Antonov or the Let 410... Thanks for the reminder!
