Extreme High Terrain Approach in Pakistan | PIA Airbus A320 Islamabad ✈ Skardu | A MSFS Experience

Welcome back! In this video, we will do something a little different as we fly out the Pakistan International Airlines' (PIA) Airbus A320 flying from Pakistan's capitol, Islamabad to the city hidden high in the Himalayas. You'll notice longer views looking outside the aircraft in this video, especially on approach to Skardu, surrounded by dangerous but beautiful high terrain. I was influenced to make this video after watching @noelphilips 's recent video to Skardu and I wanted to see just how close Microsoft Flight Simulator's realism could come and I was not disappointed. Enjoy!
Check out ‪@noelphilips‬' video to Skardu here: • I Flew a BANNED Airlin...

Sometimes you just have to marvel at what a beautiful f**king game this is. It's given us all the ability to fly anywhere in the world and to do so in very convincing style.

Hi, first of all a great. Love your videos. And secondly i have a question. Are you using fsrealistic for the first person view and walkabouts ? And about fenix a320. Is it working fine ? Coz i am having display issue with mine so i couldn't fly it for like 2,3 months. In my case displyas stuck . So i am using fbw a320 these days. If you know any fix for this problem please let me know
