  • 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!

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.
