The King is back!

I got your attention now, didnt I ;)
Yes, the King is back - in my harddrive!
I'm talking about the King Air 200 from Aeroworx which I installed again after some months on the shelf.
Forgot how funny this little aircraft is, and it's adds some variety to my usual flying  :) (hey maybe I start flying warbirds soon! Ozzy can teach me!  :P)

Over southern Germany heading for Hamburg.

Panelshot, dont know if I have the gauges and gadgets set correctly but it's flying and not falling out of the sky  ;D

Descending into EDDH

In the soup, to say the least as we're bouncing back and forth in this overcast with light rain.
Image

final approach, Prop levers fully forward, sync OFF. (I did get that right, did I  ???  ;D )
Image

Nosewheel about to touch down

The thing I dont like about turboprops is it seems like every different variant is controlled in a different manner. On the Dash 8 the Condition levers controls RPM, while the Condition levers on the B200 regulates idle N1 speed and arent touched unless you start the engines and change it from Low idle to HIGH.

Needless to say, Nexus was one helluva confused camper for awhile.  ;D  : :-[

It's working ok, it's Reality XP's WXR.
Pushing the limitations within FS, thats for sure.  :)

a) infact I was little low on the G/S. Since I was doing an intrument approach I disregard the PAPI since it's a visual reference. It's not usual that the PAPI/VASI and Glideslope are the same since they aren't positioned at the same place.  :)

b) The runway is 3000m+, so I could come in at 180kts, too high and still tuck it in, thats the beauty of flying smaller aircrafts into larger airports  ;D
