| Melk Abbey is a Benedictine abbey above the town of Melk, Austria, overlooking the Danube river. The abbey was founded in 1089, and contains the tomb of Saint Coloman and the remains of members of the House of Babenberg, Austria's first ruling dynasty.
Runway that departs in the direction of the flight plan: 21
Distance: 24 nautical miles
IMPORTANT: MSFS visual waypoint markers are optimized for long-distance flights. However, during short flights waypoints are often displayed inconsistently and sometimes not at all.
- Waypoint markers may disappear before reaching the next waypoint turn.
What to do: Continue ahead until a new directional marker appears. Look around to see if the marker is displayed, even though a directional arrow was not displayed. - A sightseeing POI marker may disappear before reaching the location.
What to do: Continue ahead until you reach the POI, even if a new directional marker pops up pointing in another direction. - The instant the Pattern Entry marker for the destination airport is displayed, MSFS suppresses all remaining waypoints.
What to do: Visually navigate to the airport.
Use the MSFS VFR Map to see the route and your location:
- The default command key to turn the map on and off is “V”
- At the top right of the map window, click on the middle button to pop out the map into a separate window that can be moved, including to a separate monitor.
- Enable "GPS Tracking" to center your aircraft and use the window as a moving map.
- Scroll the mouse wheel anywhere on the map to zoom in and out.
- Click and drag anywhere in the map window to move the map.
- Grab any corner of the map window to resize it.
Additional notes:
- When viewing the flight plan in a mapping program (e.g. Little Navmap), you may see that waypoints are in odd locations and in places that significantly overshoot logical turns. Those are intentional. They were placed to adjust for how the waypoints were actually displayed during flight plan testing.
- Waypoint behaviors may vary, depending on your MSFS assistance configuration settings.

Thank you for the nice comment. I have spent time in Austria and it is beautiful. I have a list of locations for new flight plans and there are certainly more in Austria.

Great news to hear, i´ll definitely stay around.
I maybe have a suggestion:
You are very very busy and creating a fantastic lot of content in a short time.
I have to admit, i´s a bit hard for me to keep up with your pace to keep an overview.
Could you maybe create "packs" of your great project? Like "one download for all available for one nation" or "one download for all available for one continent" or any sorting you prefer?
As one of your addon´s is not such a bid amount of data to download, greating "packs" still should keep downloadsizes at a reasonable total amount, i think.
One pack-update per week could keep it convenient for you not to get too much stressed, So people just need to keep an eye on the subscribed pack(s) and automatically will have newle released Short VFRs all togetehr for the region/pack they are interested in via the pack update.
By just having to download an updated pack people also won´t miss a new addon for their region.
It could be a nice to have i think. What do you think about it?
