About This Content Developed by aviation guru and flight simulation enthusiast Jane Whittaker, Dangerous Approaches is a mission pack consisting of 20 of the most nail-biting approaches in modern aviation. Following routes flown by real-world pilots, accuracy in speed and direction is of the essence.Each mission starts in a default FSX: Steam Edition aircraft picked specifically for each approach, although any aircraft may be used on any of the flights. The flight plans are pre-loaded into the GPS of the aircraft to give you the best chance of landing these approaches.Features20 nail-biting missions ranging from 20 minutes - 3 hours30+ hours of flight time Pre-programmed weather settings varying from sunny skies to blizzards to thunderstorms.Successful landings are recorded in the FSX LogbookFeaturing voiceovers by Angel Heaven LeePlease note that the FSX mission compass has not been included. Most of the approaches included in this mission pack require a very specific route to the airfield and cannot be executed by using a simple arrow point. a09c17d780 Title: FSX: Steam Edition - Dangerous Approaches Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Jane Rachel WhittakerPublisher:Dovetail Games - FlightRelease Date: 11 Feb, 2015 FSX: Steam Edition - Dangerous Approaches Add-On Free Download [License] This is much better value for money than the other DLC so far. Flown a couple of the missions so far and enjoyed. My only issue is that the ATC is not working with the flights. Would be good if it was as this would make it feel more realistic and help on approach and which runway to land on. Apart from that its good.. Great feedback from Janey on why the ATC doesn't work for these missions. More than happy with the excellent range of missions provided, and how they're implemented via GPS.. In my own opinion this is a very fun DLC, with, depending of the level, very challenging missions. Moreover, I love the medals system where you have to make a perfect landing to achieve gold, and the flight plan. Also, I find the price just a little bit high, but a got it on sale for half which works for 20 missions.. Thank you Jane for producing this brilliant content for FSX Steam. As the platform of choice for the majority of Simmers, it's great that aviation enthusiasts like Jane are supporting FSX SE.I also commend her on actually giving us feedback on this comments section on Steam. How many developers have ever done that?Finally the content is a bargain, especially at this intro price. The manual is superb, providing all the navigation frequencies you'll need plus tons of fascinating background information that renders this immersive and very challenging. The moment you break from realising you are in a sim and belief in your mission to land at Sion or any of the other airports, is magical. Look forward to more of your content.. I was not impressed with the Missions in this add-on. First there is not much voice activity at all, usually says "Takeoff and follow the flightplan", that is it. Second, the approaches that are in the flight plans don't even follow the actual published approaches for the airport. It would have been so easy just to make add the actual approach in the flight plan using STAR's, approach plates, etc. Thirdly, providing approach plates would be helpful. Lastly, for $16.99 I would expect a better product, I have one mission that I can't even start because it starts me on a building and "crashes". Second guessing downloading any more Steam Add-ons!. Very crude. Due to FSX default aircraft limitations, ILS, VOR, AP, and ATC, kinda matters in a 747-400. The mission architect could have at least set you up on a aligning VOR for approach, eg KANSAI mission (consult the landing charts). When you look at knee board the mission details or landing plates have not been added, a bit lazy. $10 doesn't go far. It is a bit like calling a dot to dot a sketch. Love the idea, there just needs to be more collaboration, like sell the missions bundled to utilise proper Aerosoft style Airbus or Boeing to give better ILS, VOR and AP. If people are landing these missions in big jets, very well done, its nothing like the real thing, you would make a great test pilot. I am aware of FSX limitations, it just isnt "real world" enough for me. If you dont know what I mean, buy an add on A320 and learn the VOR \/ ILS landing in free flight mode. VOR lines you up horizontally with the centre line, very oldschool, ILS Laterally and will autoland you depending on the airport. Or just use VOR and fly in manual.
