PAPI, aborted approach, and yes this theater is nice
-
Having flown my second campaign mission in the Balkans today (version just prior to the end of July 16 update), I can’t but be pleased to see how good the theater feels so far. Something happened to me twice though, that made me curious about.
Just before touching, the ATC aborts my landing, too late for me to effectively abort (Gioia del Colle airport). So I safely land anyway, but I’m not sure why it happens. The only new thing, to me, is the PAPI, which is not a 4 lights line, but 4 lights on the four corners around the “touch point”, or so it seems. I get two red far lights and two white close ones. I suppose it’s a correct angle. Not sure what’s been wrong twice then.
It’s on 12:36 on this video.
Inputs gladly received, thanks for your attention.

Stupid me! I just realized I landed left instead of right. Old habit from several months is Seosan/Haemi.
Here’s, down there, a space for a good laugh at my expense, enjoy

Hi there mate.
Well in this specific airbase (Gioia del Colle, old one) the visual aid lights are VASI at left and right, and not PAPI ;).
Now in the new version of Balkans (with update) Gioia del Colle has a new real shape, see below:There it has PAPI lights, as you can see in its airport diagram.

Thank you for this unexpectedly beautiful reply, Nikos.

You are welcome dear friend.
Enjoy the new Balkans, get the update from here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23469-Balkans-Theater-of-Operation-for-BMS-4-33U1
Also be sure that you have the same main installer, means this one: “Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip”! IF not, uninstall the previous version, install this latest one main installer (“Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip”) and THEN install the update (“Update_v1.0.5_for_Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip”) ;).
More good things are on the way, so stay close mate.

One last question before installing, is my current campaign compatible? Thank you anyway for the direct link!

Well my friend, I think that you first should win your campaign in your specific installation.
A lot of changes in the new version, so I can’t tell you for sure. And will be not nice to face that ;).
So enjoy your campaign, and when you finish it, make your step to the next one version.
I hope to help.
Greetings from Greece and nice to see you.
