A peaceful (and cold) flight through Austria

[AaronMyers]

Testing more add-ons during an extensive FS rebuild, this time in the Austrian mountains. Last time I was here it was green and warm, so this was quite the change. Quite the beautiful one too.

Hope you enjoy them.

Running my pre-startup checklist. (turning on the battery and avionics and waiting for the computer lol)


Taxiing out now, saying goodbye to the Graz terminal.


Lined up and ready to go.


Liftoff with surprising power from this little bird.


Heading into the snowy cold of the mountains. Air temperature was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. I'll let the scenery speak for itself.








A nice VC. Very flyable.


It's cold, but pretty clear. Great weather for sight seeing.




Uh oh... got myself in a bind here. CLIMB! CLIMB!


It took a 1500 ft/min climb, but I made it. This is what I saw out my window on the other side.




Descending now into the Innsbruck valley.




Touchdown nice and smooth.


Thanks for looking, I really enjoyed this one.

Nice flight with the cirrus...but shouldn't the pilot at least be wearing longsleeves?

Nice pictures. Reminds me a little of SE Alaska.

That is a pretty plane. I'd like to get it myself, but I'm afraid that it may run too slow on my machine.

What scenery is that? Aerosoft's? I go to Innsbruck every week and I like that aeroport and its Fs rendition.

The plane is really excellent and has wonderful visibility. Great for sight seeing. It performs well on my machine as well, but I have a pretty decent machine so I can't really say how it would do on something more modest.

The airports are Aerosoft/FS Quality and the scenery is Austria Professional. Really great stuff. Keeps me coming back again and again.
