FSX:SE Beirut to Liege OLBA - EBLG

[HighBypass 2,339]

Preparing to return to Liege - only carrying 20 tons of bit & bobs..

 

Climbing out above the haze - tri-holer power!

 

Crossing into Turkey. I did wave to Blackbox Simulations in Malta as I went by.. no one waved back..  Do they not realise I'm a fan??

 

Lake Iznik just hidden by the glareshield. Sea of Marmara in view.

 

Beginning descent to EBLG we'll be taking the RWY23L ILS today.

 

Slats out to aid manoeuvring with a bit of speed.

 

Waiting for localiser capture.

 

Once she was aligned on the localiser and prior to G/S going active I had the runway in sight so it was AP off and fly her manually with the instrument cues. Not doing a bad job so far IMNSHO 

 

Touchdown..🍻

 

Job done.

Cheers!🍻

GoshDarn it!

Off to mess with ILS inspector etc...  Thank you for the update, gentlemen! The FMC did say 22 FWIW.

"bits & bobs" - just pay me the money, as long as the weights on the manifest tally so that she'll fly right, then no questions

Brilliant!.... Rwy 04L/22R is very rarely used btw. G.A if anything at all. 😁

Just when I thought I'd got it licked! ...just had to get one more dig in didn't ya, Ed! 😄 Only kidding! I thought the tarmac looked a little too clean...  

Airport Inspector & Editor (AIE) is the current iteration of Herve Sors' ILS inspector - it can and does alter the runway markings and navaids.  https://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids.html

 I will now bear that in mind when using Liege again with the big iron and only request 4R/22L. 

This is good. It highlights the fact that our sims can be somewhat locked in time.🍻

I have to update my FS navdatabase and approaches for every flight I make. But that means my FS9 is more up to date than the very latest sims out there. I see for a small fee Navigraph will now update the MSFS20 database. Something they should have offered to do for all sims.....their loss.
