Hey PK777 thank you very much I am happy you liked it also, I am just trying my best to do my virtual PIA flights as profassionally as i can...and yes I will recommend you to get into virtual commercial flying as it utilizes your brain in a same manner as real world commercial pilots use, and it depends how you take flight sim...some people see it as game, some see it as a training aid and simulation which could refine their piloting skills, i'm the second type! :D FS gives me a satisfaction that if i may not be a real-world commercial pilot for PIA atleast i'm a good virtual commercial pilot! :)

get FSX-deluxe edition and start discovering what it can give you!! for add ons...i'm always there! and Rashad, Hamad and few others also who are kind and good guys and have good add-ons... :) like Pak airports, planes, textures and PIA liveries....

more to come today :wink:

very nice, i like the way you commenced this virtual flight =D> and you made me emotional as you pointed out that we are entering Pakistani airspace... 8)

again, you forget an announcement :roll:

Captain: Cabin crew landing positions please.... {on finals for landing}

rest all is very fine...specially i like the Arabic announcement :thumbs_up:

to make your flight more pleasant during boarding and taxing after landing, do play the PIA instrumental music on some mp3 player (within your pc) with low volume and you will feel that the music is played in your flight :D I use to do this 8)

OoO.Salman bhai mind blowing. Awesome announcements...!!!! Just one thing start your engines and set your flaps after the pushback. It will create more realistic. I just love the engine starting sound.

Salman bhai you missed onething in your announcement, that when ATC clears you for takeoff in reality it tells you about the wind direction and speed
Example
Pakistan 208 heavy you're cleared for take-off runway 30Left wind 250 at 8 knots. :)
