Starting Over

[andarlite]

I don't have any charts of LOWI or the area yet. Just been flying with the FS9 ATC. I did try requesting a different approach and SBG2A was one of the selections. Funny thing is that of the 5-6 flights I tried, I only once was told to land on 26..... most of the time I'm told to circle and land on 8L... why is that?

I really should get charts for this area.

BTW, I don't use the FMC much, mainly because I'm in cockpit building mode and as a result I don't fly much yet.... and when I do I just want to do a quick flight (mainly to keep my landing skills up). I usually like to do Buffalo to Toronto or CYTS to CYYU (where I grew up). Try putting your 727 down at CYYU and see if you can take off again..... I can just barely do it with the 767 but I have to use full flaps and the belly usually needs a fresh coat of paint again.

Regards,
Henry

It that is FSATC, I don't know. The approach to 26 is safer than to 08, but I've had to do the circle-to-land to 08 under IVAO ATC several times if the wind is from the east.

The wind at Innsbruck is largely unpredictable and can shift rapidly from one direction to the other in a very short time.
