insane FS airports

[screaming_emu]

Paro, Bhutan. When I'm bored, I'll go there and try to see which airplanes I can sucessfuly complete a trip around the pattern in. Not only is it in the mountains, but its high up in the mountains, making performance really weak, especially for piston aircraft.

My favourite is Gran canaria approach from the ocean. Lmao that's low

PAHN(My home airport) is alot of fun. As is PAGY

I don't know about low, but damn that's a long runway!

Yep they use that for both military and civilian planes. Been there once in real life while approaching from the ocean. That's damn cool flying low over water :P

I tried SESM in a 172R. I got up close to the top and started stalling and made the stupid mistake of pulling back on this stick and entering a spin. I would have hit the mountain anyway. Then I tried in a 744 and got it on the second try. I landed it in two tries but none of them were pretty!

whats the code for Courchevel?

And there is some fantastic freeware add-ons avialable for this airport I believe ! although last time I installed it was a little too complex for me ! like an 80 part guide to installing plus it was all in French

... it's not that insane as it is in real life. Same goes for St. Barths.

...and FNC and INN and many more!

Been there on a jumpseat last week - indeed damn cool. Runways should both be around 3000meters.
