DAVIDSTRAKA Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Cape Town International (FACT) Cape Town, South Africa to Ivato (FMMI) Antananarivo, Madagascar. Interesting approach into Ivato. The airport is in a hole! The ILS is not on a proper angle either for descent. You will see this with the Lear AI sinking into the ground on approach. I included the ILS Approach Plate. Following the ILS in FSX is not a good plan. :rolleyes: PART 1 The Route: Approaching Madagascar The Lear following the actual ILS Definitely not right ;) Please see PART 2 Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!! I just made an ILS approach to YMML using ORBX scenery. Yes, since I was prepared and the ground was pretty even, let the ILS set me down GENTLY and taxied till the mesa lost altitude then shot a landing using ILS once it was above the ground again. The other thing I noticed that your scenery didn't show was the lake a few yards off the other end of the runway. It appears they have a very tall glass dam to contain it.

NMLW Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A good flight to Madagascar until you went subterranean on the approach to Antananarivo. The second try was much better. I like all the AI at Cape town. Nice work. :cool: :cool: :) Looks like Michael was saved by the miraculous holding back of the lake. Kind of like the parting of the Red Sea. :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micheal’s does look like the parting of the Red Sea! :D Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
