FS Instant Approach

As lazy as I am amd considering how much help I need in landing:icon_lol: I'm gonna have at least try the demo.
 
Sounds similar to a freeware prog, "[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Lord of the Landing: Landing Training Environment[/FONT]", search for lola.zip on Avsim.com
 
Installed the demo -- and tried it out. You only can use the rwys at KORD and KGRD (all rwys are usable). Pretty slick little product. It sets you up on final(per your parameters) and then its up to you to "git 'er down." Is a great way to practice approaches/lamdings -- Something I really need to get better at. For the price this is a neat little add-on that provides a simple way to get better at your trade -- or just have fun.:guinness:

BTW, it does require FSUIPC ver 4.0 or later (unregistered is ok). Oh yeah, it also maps every rwy in fsX -- including any unique ones an add-on scenery might have stuck in.

The name of the file turns out to be lola16.zip I'll compare this with the payware offering
 
There's a free demo on the website.

It's now on v1.2 with additional airport/runway filters such as "Has ILS?", ICAO code, Altitude, etc...

Hang onto your hat - these guys are really giving us our money's worth! This morning they released v1.3 that adds the ability to specify surface wind, both magnitude and direction, with and without wind gusts. Great job, fellows.
 
What determines the starting altitude for the approach?

Can you set the altitude yourself?

Thanks! :salute:

Not currently, but that's an idea of another free release/update! :cool:
 
Just released v1.4 today. It's free for existing users or try the free demo if you don't own a copy.

Now you can also instantly control the visibility all your approaches anywhere in the world for a real challenge!
