KEWR - TNCM - Brandon Stoll - 12-25-2005 Talk about a hard approach! I had to go around once, which was ok because I was ahead of schedule anyway, so the 2nd time put me pretty much on time. Definately have to work on VOR landings. Cool scene though, was worth the 3 hour flight. I was slightly disappointed though because there wasn't even a beach to view like in the real world, with no people spectating and that cool sign on the beach saying to beware of low flying aircraft. I've heard there's a great add on, but that the runway isn't aligned right in FS, so the ATC thinks you land on grass or something. Also a note on the take off photo #2...behind and up for a diverting Jetlink Embraer that had to go around because ATC cleared me for take off and then subsequently told the Jetlink to land, then go around. Nice MS ATC. - Guest - 01-25-2006 nice shots, easy landing there. Next time I will suggest you try with a 747. You will for sure end with sweaty hands. - Anthony Fluhart AS167 - 01-25-2006 There are some nice freeware sceneries of this on avsim. - Brandon Stoll - 01-26-2006 hah, try with a 747, almost thought you were serious for a minute there. I could barely manage that small 737! - Anthony Fluhart AS167 - 01-26-2006 Actually in the real world there are 747's (and Airbus 340's) that fly into there... take a look on airliners.net ... I think they can only do the beach approach in though. Its a pretty big mountain on the other side. I think I could manage sitting on the beach with a Mai Tai watching planes all day! http://www.airliners.net/open.file/211543/M/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/027599/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/966098/M/ - Guest - 01-26-2006 hock: Holy #$(%! - Brandon Stoll - 01-27-2006 Yeah, I know the queen lands there, KLM flies there often, being a Dutch colony and all. There's some great videos on FL350.com
