– FS2002 Scenery–Mikonos And Ikaria Airports

FS2002 Scenery–Mikonos And Ikaria Airports. Mikonos LGMK and Ikaria LGIK of the Aegean sea in Greece. Two typical summer holiday destinations in Hellas. The scenery represents Mikonos and Ikaria Island Regional Airports. Several objects like trucks, houses, stones, fences and proper photorealistic textures have been used to make these airports as real as it gets and help the scale perception of the pilot. Special care has been taken for night lighting. Ikaria, a mountainous, thickly forested island, perpetuates the myth of Ikarus and his fall into the sea near its south shores after his bold attempt to reach the sun with his waxen wings. Mikonos in the center of Aegean sea, has been one of the best keepers of traditional Aegean architecture and is well known for its popular golden sandy beaches and ecstatic nightlife. It is called “The island of winds” and indeed it is. Most frequent North winds have no physical barrier, all the way from Northern Greece, to weaken them and the constant seabed from there helps the increase of wind’s speed by the time it reaches Mikonos. Beware of steep rising terrain and the wind gusts and downdrafts on short finals. By Vangelis Generalis. 3,1 Mb
