On my way...

Pretty nice clouds, but not as nice as in FS9
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3f35473a453f3dcd.jpg
Oooo... sharp peak

Cloudy day...

Finally... Iceland!

As I'm reaching Reykyavik, clouds form up again... No, that's not a mountain... I'm looking DOWN...and descending
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3f35477545aa6b48.jpg
At 750 ft... still no sight of the runway...

Finally burst through the cloud base at 600 ft...
