FS-ACTIVITEITEN/ FLIGHTS/ Grand Tour VFR Norway met MSFS2020.zip

Alle vluchten worden gemaakt en gevlogen met MSFS versie 1.16.2.0⁺ en de aanbevolen mods (zie hieronder) zijn getest op betrouwbaarheid.

Een fascinerende reeks vluchten met een van je standaardvliegtuigen en de Working Title MOD G1000NXi. Voor de beste visuele ervaring raden we aan om de top-wing Cessna C172 te nemen.

“as real as it gets” is our motto.
