EGCC - OPKC - PSS777

Post by imranzul »

Hi I am new to this forum and have been visiting for a while, I am an active member of vasim.org, but as its temporarily down I thought I would do a flight from Manchester ( where im based) to Karachi Intl using PSS 773.

Here is a video of landing in an Emirates 773 low visibility at WIII - Jakarta Intl - I like the PSS 777 and PMDG 747, fly them a lot for other virtual airlines but miss the Pakistani flying scene. Keep up the Excellent work guys !!!!!

Pics of PIA to OPKC enjoy...

fs2004 ATC is useless, tried Radar Contact but the voice was too slow, I do fly on Vatsim but no Pakistani areas are manned. I normally import plans from FSNavigator but this was a flight for fun as I miss flying for PIA.

Imranzul I have done the same thing. Radar Contact is good but also one of the other things which is a dissapointment with this program is the lack of Handoff so you can then be given a Stand or Gate.

Coverage over Pakistan airspace (lack of it) is a big head ache. I dont know if there is still coverage over India, but this does not help.

Thank you for the comments, what I also like using are SIDS/STARS, but FS ATC does not incorporate them, I use editvoicepack to speed up default atc voice and include wind when landing and other pilot terminology, but its not the same. Most asian areas are not manned,Dubai seems to be but no pakistani areas are manned hopefully that will change in the future. Happy flying to all.
