SalamAlekum.

Well, why not share with you some screenshots of a very enjoyable flight I had today. A scenic mountain flight from Skardu to Islamabad Intl airport. The aircraft was AP-BCC in the new regional theme.

Great Screenshots of B733 Nature's Orchard. I hope the take-off was really enjoyable while departing from Skardu as I have enjoyed a lot while flying between Islamabad - Skardu - Islamabad sector being F/O on B733s even I have a few flights only.

And last but not least, a very warm welcome to you in this hobby as well! Looking forward for more and more screenshots of such flights

Hi Raihan,

Yes the flight was very scenic and very enjoyable. I could hardly restrain myself from adding more screenshots.

I have been in this "hobby" of flightsimming for many many years. I fly mostly online, but have never joined any particular virtual airline, because Im sure I dont have time to do regular flights.

I have contributed with many real photos and videos over time in this and other forums and have actually some years earlier also posted flightsim screenshots. Its just that it has been a while since last time, thats why u are "welcoming" me as a new comer - hehe - but thanks anyway.

Take care

I admire your great work with the virtual PIA. I know the site since its beginning but I didnt join because I know I will not be able to fulfill the obligation of doing regular flights. Im more to casual adhoc impulsive flights. I do fly online on vatsim though.

But thanks for the invitation.

Thanks PK777,

About the 747 - yes u are right. But I have Flight1's Ultimate traffic installed. It has not yet been updated with various new PIA liveries.

Hopefully one day soon.

take care

Hi PIAC,

The aircraft is "FFX/SGA Boeing 737-340 in Pakistan International Airline's Current Livery by Umair Ayaz(Flightsim Pakistan/VASIM)"

The panel is ".......created by CfgEdit
// Built Wednesday, October 22, 2003 at 12:23 Build:16518
//LuÃƒÆ’Ã‚Âs da Costa Pereira-Portugal..." found it on either flightsim.com or avsim.net - don't remember clearly.
