Soon after taking this shot (still above Göteborg) the sim crashed... and it took me half an hour to get it running properly again! Finally back on course after the annoying crash... still flying with real time enabled, this far north half an hour didn't make much of a difference!

There's Lake Vänern to the left... ...and to the right Vättern is also quite clearly visible

The northern part of Lake Vättern in higher detail Passing the city of Motala Airport lights visible in Örebro

The town of Örebro and nearby Lake Hjälmaren Now passing Västerås and Lake Mälaren Uppsala was the last city on my route covered by the more detailed V8 scenery

The sky is getting brighter again as I arrive above the Gulf of Bothnia Now arriving in Finland... ...and passing Vaasa around 1:30 in the morning local time

Starting descent around Kruunupyy, only 100 nm to Oulu As you can see, the sun is still up this far north :)

Passing Kalajoki during descent, 60 nm to EFOU While these sky colors are impressive looking, they aren't very realistic for this time of the year... the sky shouldn't really look much different than during my departure from Paris Descending below 10000 feet and turning right for visual approach to runway 30

Decided to make a radio call just in case someone is listening Landing lights on (hmm, in this direction the sky actually looks more realistic...) Still not quite in Oulu, so there's only the blocky default V7 scenery
475.jpg 476.jpg 477.jpg
Approaching the city at 3000 feet There's the airport in Oulunsalo Turning left to start the approach (also passing the border of my bootleg Oulu photo scenery)

There's the smaller Ahmosuo airfield not far from where I live On final for runway 30
