| Ian Whiteside 26th Mar 2012 13:02:55 | ...in the video, did you notice that they came down the valley and passed over the runway then turned and landed on runway 15....

Craig Noble  26th Mar 2012 19:18:46 | That's harder for sure. At 3.42 he fly direct to the mountain face a comes about. Great find Ian. I will try this one when I get some free time. How it escaped my attention I'll never know. |

View of landings from the ground |
| Ian Whiteside 30th Mar 2012 13:14:19 | Here's a very good video that has a rookie pilot on this route being guided by an experienced 'Paro' pilot... you get some approach method info...
Now, ....do you think you can do this ???? |

Karl Arney  31st Mar 2012 16:39:45 | The new scenery is looking great! But I'm just wondering, The page has FS2004 all over it, does that mean the scenery wont be for FSX??? |
| Ian Whiteside 31st Mar 2012 17:10:00 | Yup... I boobed, Someone was saying the other day that Thai Creations were making an update version for FSX. I thought this was info on it... it appears that they are updating to FSX but have no idea of release date yet.... |
| Nathan Roberts 31st Mar 2012 22:44:34 | Got to be the best landing video i've seen ever.
That plane in video 2 looked like it said 'drunkair', it wouldn't surprise me if your going to try that landing. Ergonomics didn't come into play when they designed that airport, either that or the designers were suicidal. Ahh well, makes for a good viewing haha. On a serious note, at which point in the approach is the minimums for a go around and what maneovering capability would be available given the drastic left turn on final.? Mad. |
| Ian Whiteside 2nd Apr 2012 00:02:08 | Here's a cracking pic of 'Paro' airport....

Only 8 pilots in the World qualified to land at Paro , Bhutan... would you make the grade.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2079836/The-Himalayan-airport-dangerous-pilots-qualified-land-there.html |

Can any one help...... The link below takes you to a download of a nice version of 'Paro Airport - Bhutan' for 2004, but works in FSX and also a mesh download for part of the Himalayas at better resolution... The only problem is the airport is set at 7609' when in real life it's classed as 7333'. The position of the airport is a bit off as well according to Google Earth. (Taking coords from the very start of runway 15) Can anyone lower the airport and move it to correct co-ords for us... ????? Should be easy for some, Thanks..... http://www.simtours.net/paro.php |
