I always wanted to try landing at Madeira LPMA. Did it in the CRJ-700 today. That approach is quite something. You really only have a visual approach available for runway 05, so unless you know it well it will probably surprise you, as it did me. I was above the runway so quickly I had no choice but to go around (to the right of course, as going left you’d hit terrain very quickly). After circling around I knew which visual cues to look for and the actual landing was smooth, though definitely tense.

I’m going to enjoy crashing these over and over. Miramar’s flight path to the ocean goes right over my work. And those hot dog pilots know exactly when you’re trying to have a meeting or talk on the phone.
I read your post too late and already let Windows update the game yesterday. But I’ll wait for another update before firing it back up.
I need to continue my Andes Bush Trip, and possibly start a new journey somewhere in the world. One possibility was starting near @krayzkrok’s place in Darwin, and following the railroad to Perth. I’ve never been to Australia, but I have a relative in Perth who was always asking us to visit him during the 80s, so Perth always fascinated me as this one big town that’s completely far away from the rest of civilization in Australia.
