OK.. So I'm an idiot.. I went out and bought the Flytampa Vienna And Aerosoft Mega Airport Frankfurt.. I wanted some good European hubs to use and I thought these two looked the best. So I did the return trip of last week, this time upgrading to an A340-600 of Lufthansa (model also by Overland).

So, without further ado, here's the shots:

Pity the weather was a bit off...

Well it was a heap of fun anyway.. And I think I've got the hang of this ILS thing..

Nice shots/scenery - you must have a good sim budget to play with :)

Good investment VAC- I've heard many raving reviews about the Frankfurt package. I hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to seeing some more shots from there ;)

The sceneries good but that buying isn't a bit too impulsive is it?
It takes me about 3days to decide weather to buy something or not.

Yea I did a bit of research, had a look at reviews on the net and also I have a copy of PC Pilot that gave Vienna a fantastic review. So no, I didn't think it was all that impulsive :D

I have an awful lot of A340's somehow - Aerodesigns, CLS, POSKY, and was wondering how the Overland version stacks up.
It looks pretty good from the screenshots, how about interior, VC, FDE?

Well at least you have the courage. I usually get weighed down by the negatives but I did sort of impulsively buy the PMDG 737 NG today.
P.S. how long does it take to ship a boxed product to NZ from Sim Market?

The Overland models are supposed to be great for the simmer like me, that just gets in and flies. I don't think the FDE works. They're nice and simple, I think there's everything but a FDE. :lol: But the VC on all their models are great. Good panel too.

So to sum it up: Probably not for the real A340 pilot, but simple enough for inexperienced wannabe sim-pilots to fly :lol:
