(Second row, third from left: Pulkovo-Rossiya.rar)



Weather:
Real world weather is highly recommended. At the time of posting, Helsinki has a low overcast with low vis and rain. Could be fun if it continues at arrival time.

FS Time: 2:30pm, St. Petersburg local time.
FS Date: Present day and year.


Addon scenery (my purpose for doing this trip, excellent, highly recommended scenery!!!!)

Pulkovo:
http://www.ulll.nm.ru/files.html
(Just click on the first hyperlink that says (download) on the page, and install like normal) This is nice scenery and the best representation of this airport out there!

Helsinki-Vantaa:
http://fisd.fsnordic.net/projects/

(Install the main airport, plus the following packages:
FinnClass
FinnTerrain
FISD Library

If you want, you can just put the bgls/textures in the three packs above into the scenery and texture folder of the Helsinki airport addon scenery, rather than having to activate each one.)


Sim:
Either FS2004 or FSX. I cannot guarantee scenery compatibility with FSX.


Remarks:
If you plan on joining, post here, and post a link to the aircraft + livery(if non default) that you will be using on the trip.

If planning on using real world weather, be familiar with instrument approaches into Helsinki-Vantaa. The weather has a good chance at being poor, with low ceilings.
