Aptosflier Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Took off from Berdyansk and flew to Mariupol in the Daher Kodiak 100, with an dead-stick landing in a field enroute (my first) just for fun. I hope the farmer didn't object Mariupol in better days Mariupol airport.

RI_Red Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 There is a whole screenshot forum for this, which will yield the appropriate replies, I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Your shots look great! It's a damned shame no one alive today will likely live long enough to see Mariupol look this nice again. And frankly that field you landed in is probably in better condition than any runway there today. Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

I use Navigraph and, reflective of the current situation in Ukraine, when I entered the ICAO codes for Berdyansk and Mariupol to find their approach plates, I got nothing. I think both airports have been closed since 2014 due to fighting in the Donbas region. But their codes are still good in MSFS.

Rupert Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I agree. I just went to Google Earth and it still shows a view of the airport. (UKCM) I also found UKCM in sim databases complete with an ILS approach using 109.7. As I said, in both cases I'm sure it looks better in the old views than it does today!! :eek::eek: Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

cianpars Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I found a really nice scenery for Kyiv over at flightsim.to. Some lovely models of beautiful buildings in the city and well worth a quick search over there. It was nice to fly around and get some orientation of the city.

Though seeing the current shots in the news everyday, I'm not sure how many people with PTSD would sleep well from seeing the comparison of what it was and what it now is. I just did my flight into UKCM yesterday after Aptosflier said he didn't see it on Navigraph and I ended up depressed thinking about the present and future there.
