Closed in 1998 and now reopend again in 2008 thanks to FS9.



The download is free from www.flightsim.com

Truly an amazing add on. Not sure if my system will handle it but I will give it a go.
For you heavy tin drivers this will really test your skills....no auto land here.
My only advice is dont feel tempted to cut the corner. In fact do the opposite. When visual with the checkerboard drift left and remember that when you make your finla turn to line up with the runway keep the descent going. Yes you will think you are going to drive the starboard wingtip into those apartment blocks.....but you wont. I loved this approach in the 747-200. In fact I might just dust off the old RFP747-200....one of the finest freeware airliners around.

Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!

WHAT a giant project!
You'd have to totally immerse yourself in '80's Retro for a while.
POSKY have updated the 742 so that'd do, in an old Cathay paint.
