Thread: Difficult Approaches, GPS Approaches, and Trim....

    Default Difficult Approaches, GPS Approaches, and Trim....

    Few things of interest here:

    1. Post all/any of your most difficult/interesting approaches, (with approach plate if you have it)

    2. Does anyone know of any way to program a GPS approach using the default one other than entering each waypoint as you come up on it.

    3. Can you 'slave' the trim to the wheel on a mouse or do you just have to position your mouse over the trim indicator and scroll up/down.

    Thanks in advance for all who post, looking forward to trying some difficult approaches.

    Not much of a chart, but you will have to see this airport to beleive it!

    For trim, do you have a set of extra buttons or a hat switch on a yoke or joystick? Mine is "slaved" to an extra joystick hatswitch.

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-05-02 AT 08:45PM (EDT)[/font][p]Here's a good one.
    Fly from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Lukla, Nepal. Lukla is the airstrip used by travellers going to the Mt. Everest region. From there, they use yaks and mountain trails. First, find the airport, then land. It has no navaids by the way, all VFR. Good luck.

    Aspen has been my all time favorite for quite some time.
    I like to see how much tin I can get in and out without crashing.

    I flew Aspen last night IFR in my trusty Baron. ATC tried to run me into a mountain. I came out of the clouds to find trees whizzing by my wings... a quick z key, full throttle and hard right turn saved me but I don't know what they were thinking. That is a beautiful airport... looking forward to flying it a little more.

    I wish someone would develop a true to life Addison airport in Dallas, it would be great to fly in through all those tall buildings like IRL. (it's not a real tight squeeze but there a alot more obsticles than in FS2002... which only shows 2 buildings). I'm looking forward to trying KAVX tonight. cya
