csmj Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 FS2004 - I was captivated by the recent screenshots and discussions of the 1950s Russian designed Ilyushin IL-14 so I downloaded it (il14_10.zip) and have enjoyed flying this old classic style airliner with 14-cylinder radial engines that looks like a DC-3 with a nose wheel. Here is my first point-to-point flight, from Stuttgart, Germany to Innsbruck, Austria over some nice mountain scenery (with FSGenesis 19m terrain mesh). This is the IL-14P (P means passenger version) in the old East German Deutsche Lufthansa livery. I hope you enjoy the flight. 1. Bringing up landing gear leaving Stuttgart 2. Goodbye Stuttgart 3. Lots of flatland to cover before we get to the mountains 4. Closeup with good look at radial engines 5. Mountains ahead 6. Over the mountains in Austria 7. Begin turning, looking for the valley that leads to Innsbruck 8. There's the valley, begin descent 9. Time for gear down 10. Final approach into Innsbruck 11. Over the runway 12. Parked at terminal Thanks for looking, Clayton My FS web site: http://www.cjcom.net/FS-a.htm with screen shots and short articles. Updated regularly.

csmj Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Enjoyed tour flight, Clayton, nice captures, super scenery and great plane! Thank you Klee, this plane is growing on me. It definitely has its quirks and oddities! It took some practice but my landings are getting much better. Mr. Kristensen certainly left us a fine gift with this one. BTW, I just left you a post in the IL-14 thread that I think you'll like. Clayton My FS web site: http://www.cjcom.net/FS-a.htm with screen shots and short articles. Updated regularly.

Rupert Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 :) Always nice flying to Innsbruck.:) +1! I much prefer flying into Innsbruck VFR to IFR. Somewhat of a challenging IFR approach! Lots and lots of mountains! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 :) Always nice flying to Innsbruck.:) +1 One hell of an approach to runway 26 after flying over the mountains! I just did it with my Pan AM B377! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 +1 One hell of an approach to runway 26 after flying over the mountains! I just did it with my Pan AM B377! Hey, want a challenge? Try that approach at night under IFR weather conditions! :o I usually sim there from Munich because I rode that route RW on commercial planes, a couple of times during the year or so I lived within five miles of the Munich airport. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
