Lovely London scenery! But where are the pics from Paris?!?

[Drew]

i was far too busy trying to find the RW to take pics

We didnt land at charles - landed at one a few mile south of it (dont recall name) and i set my nav incorrectly so wasnt the best
landing

Here are two, It is the default MS scenery, as I don't have aby addon for here (My country, my town, my patch... what a shame!!!).
Here you see just below, LFPG (Roissy Charles De gaulle) with the banana terminals under my left wing and the "camembert" terminal above my right
stabilizer. Heading of my ATR, you see the rw 25 of LFPB (Le Bourget) which was the very first international airport of Paris. Now it is rather
theequivalent of London City, mainly used by biz planes and also for the airshow of june. here I sew last june the first public show of the A380.

I must admit that when I spotted you high and left of the rw, i thought it would be difficult. but you managed an "Hong Kong like" final, turning to
get aligned some 10 feets above the runway. From my spot place the landing looked good right on the middle line

Very Nice Pics!

Great shots, Pierre! I didn't remember that Roissy looks that good in default scenery. I don't fly to virtual Paris at the moment. I purchased
the Ile de France Base Pack from FranceVfr last year because I thought the autogen expansion would follow soon, but it's still not finished.
Once completed, this will probably be one of the best sceneries ever, at the moment it's just a vast photographic scenery without a single tree,
road or building
I still hope they'll finish it before the world tour arrives at Paris but I doubt it.

If we arrive there too early we can ask Pierre to have some nice detours again. He once talked about an airport on top of an alp or so where it would
even be difficult to land for a helicopter, so sounds like a nice challenge again

[eazy]

Oh yes! Some crashing in the Alps would be nice
How about this one: http://www.llhinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27 ?
That's Courchevel Altiport by LLH Créations, currently under development but looks quite far in progress. It's already a 'must have' on my list.

Do you mean Le Borget?
