This was rather unerving when the weather changed on me. It was also beautiful, I wish I had my screen cap prog turned on, so all I got was one. I was at 4000 ft, and just caught the localizer/glideslope. I desended through that stuff, then it got worse. Visibility was 3/4 mile in rain. I never done this approach before, and wasn;t sure about the mountains, so my eyes were peeled on that radar altimeter, while doing an instrament approach. Here is the last thing I saw before the threshold lights. (I always fly in Real-World Weather)

Nice Skligmund, did you land her? Grin

I fly around Ketchican quite often. Grab this little add on from James Belk at Avsim. It is three airstrips, the one which is awesome is Edgecombe lodge. It is right outside Ketchican high up in the mountains!
Here is the info on the file!! Get it, it is great!!!

YES!

I did land it. As soon as I captured the localizer/glideslope, I turned off my autopilot and brought it in. I also failed to mention the 23 KT quartering wind from my 2 O' Clock, and the turbulence that came along with it. I used RWY 11, looks like you are going the other way?

And yes, I'll have me a peek at that add-on! Cheesy

"Eddie Denney's FS2002 mesh of Alaska is still required as a foundation for this scenery to work"

I don't have that terrain mesh, perhaps I should change to it? I have another one that came in two files, AlaskaA.exe and AlaskaB.exe, one over 600MB and the other over 500MB. I think it is 38meter, but I'm not sure anymore.
