Hi,

First of all, I want to apologise to the mods for the thread drift into a general FS discussion. I may have started it with my comment about the PMDG 737NG product.

Let me add a contribution to the original question.

I don't believe anyone has mentioned the Canarsie(VOR) approach into Rwy13L+R at KJFK.

The initial approach procedure isn't too much to worry about. The challenge is the turn to finals after the VOR. I believe the airport actually has curved line of guide lights, leading to the runways installed into the surrounding neighbourhood, as an approach aid. Nice challenge in a 747 with a heavy load.

Also, the LDA approach(offset LOC) into Rwy19 at KDCA(Regan national) is a challenge. Bugger of a turn on short finals to line up.

You should check out more of the non-precision approaches available. These generally are a bit more challenging than a standard ILS approach, requiring more focus than just pressing the APR button once you start establishing.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!


PS....pax britanica, the way your computer will perform is not just down to the amount of RAM you have. Mainly it'll depend on your combination of processor, graphics card and RAM. Send me a private message with your machine specs and I'll let you know. Don't want this thread to drift any further than it already has.
