Mikonos in the center of Aegean sea, has been one of the best keeper of traditional Aegean architecture and is well known for it's 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. The fact that the airport is situated on top of rising terrain makes the approach to runway 34 very harder. Frequent downdrafts and turbulence is a "business as usual" even for pilots approaching Mikonos.

LGMK2002 represents Mikonos's Island Regional Airport. Several objects [like trucks, houses, stones, fences], and proper photorealistic textures have been used to make this airport as real as it gets. Special care has been taken for night lighting. Use this scenery preferably tohether with the free Greek Mesh Scenery by Babis Perivolas found in Hellenic vACC Site: http://avsim.com/greece/hvacc

For IFR charts of this airport visit the above website. You will find them in the Pilot's Area -> Auronautical Data. Read carefully the charts page from the top.

Mikonos to Ikaria flight is

Ikaria, a mountainous, thickly forested island, perpetuates the myth of Ikarus and his fall into the sea near its shores after his bold attempt to reach the sun with his waxen wings. In antiquity the island was called Makri (Long) and Aeoliki because of its rectangular shape, and Ichthyoessa because of its abundant fish. The South coast of the island is barren with steep cliffs, while the north is somewhat more gentle. Its scenery is wild and rugged, with the Atheras mountain range (called Pramios in antiquity) running the length of the island, furrowed by lush ravines, gorges and gullies that descend all the way to the coast.

LGIK2002v2 represents Ikaria's Island Regional Airport. Several objects [like trucks, houses, stones, fences], and proper photorealistic textures have been used to make this airport as real as it gets. Use this scenery preferably tohether with the free Greek Mesh Scenery by Babis Perivolas found in Hellenic vACC Site: http://avsim.com/greece/hvacc

Ikaria has no IFR approach procedure.

The Installation procedure of the Scenery is the following:

These are my first attempts to create high quality-photorealistic scenery for FS2002. I would like to thank Kyprianos Biris and Vangelis Hassiotis for beta testing the scenery & composing the documentation

I would also like to thank Kyprianos for providing some additional information about these airports with pictures and charts and his help in making the apron textures smooth for FS2002.
