Airlifter 60 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I LOVE this! Can't wait for it. I recognize places I walked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I recognize places I walked! And in my case it is much more wierd. I've never been to Crete in RW and now I really want to go there. If I do, I will try to recognize places from these screenshots (ill use them a a reference)! EDIT: Looks like all signs here and there tell me to go to Heraklion. While typing the above words I heard a jet over my roof, so I grabbed my camera and rushed to the window. I took a quick photo and to my surprise it was an Enter Air 737-4Q8 returning to Katowice from... Heraklion! The proof: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaspis29 29 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Heh, nice one Rafal, I've been to Heraklion, and then on the whole island of Crete, it's a nice destination, as I see you are a spotter it's even better with all the holiday traffic there, it's definately a good place to visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 as I see you are a spotter Yes, a really long story. Since I live over 80 kilometres from the nearest airport, I usually spot, photograph and listen to high flying airliners. it's definately a good place to visit. I have no doubts. Designing virtual scenery (at least in some cases) has climbed such an incredible level, that I can judge it from preview screenshots like the above! I've been to Greece but only continental (landing at LGTS). At present I am trying to convince my wife to have a week's visit to Crete this summer. Guess why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottM 21 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 There were all taken summer 2010 from the beach you see on the left of the aircraft seconds before landing with your basic family camera. This is one of the best places for spotting in Heraklion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamT 3 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The sensatori hotel is a good spotting place as well. Went there on my hols in 2010 and was slap bang on the approach path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamT 3 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Well I wouldn't bet on my piloting skills, but I did notice too much red coming from the end of the runway ..Never mind, sacrifices you have to make for a nice screen! Mostly smaller props will use this approach, and from there you can enjoy this view thoroughly It is also often used in south-east windy days. More to come soon When I was there on my hols I was in a First Choice 752 and we landed on 09 straight over the cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM 21 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Where we stay in Stalis - between Hersonisos and Malia - we see them come in aswell, great holiday memories watching the lights come in from over the horizon then turning just as they get near us to land. I've taken off a couple of times on 09, late at night, but never landed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
