Now that the new fleet is here we are happy to release the latest set of special missions for this Division :P
There are some real challenges amongst them but the reputation of EuroBusiness is depending on you !
Our richest and most powerful clients are waiting - get to your cockpits, Captains... ;)

I did not complete the whole set (yet) but I was particularly impressed by the low-visibility approach to SEQU, with FS AI ATC.
Now I had some bad experience, in the past, with AI ATC in mountain areas, when the "AI" repeatedly tried to convince me to descend and turn into a hill (and of course, as soon as I cleared that hill, he declared my approach as missed ;D ).
But none of these occured at SEQU. I could not see obstacles ahead but I was looking at the terrain displayed on the GPS. And sure enough, every time I got close to a hill, the AI instructed me to turn.
I even got a bonus because, having missed my first approach (failed to properly disconnect the autopilot on finals :$ ) I had to do the whole pattern once more.
Only once I received a wrong turn indication, which would lead my nose into a hill, but a small "interpretation adjustment" was enough to clear it, and afterwards the AI kept issuing sensible instructions until established.
This was one piece of thrilling approach!

I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed that approach so much Andrei - the Missions are designed to be that much more demanding than 'normal' flights! And some of these mountain approaches really do test you (and the AI Controllers!!) ;D
