Gateway to Mount Everest and World's Most Dangerous Airport; certainly the most commonly used attributes for an airport that seems out of this world. But it's not only about Lukla; there's much more to this package...
Truth to be told: There are airports that are higher (see Tingri included in this package). There may be airports that have a shorter runway. There even may be airstrips somewhere that have an even worse upwards slope of the runway. Or others that have a mountain wall at the end of its runway. What makes Lukla standing out is a combination of all those factors in one single airport!
Not enough thrill for you? Count in weather as a factor. No navigational aids. Limited documentation of approach and takeoff routes. An uncontrolled airpace with fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
This package will replace "Lukla X – Mount Everest" by the same lead developer. One of our most popular sceneries of the past decade that has won many awards – among them the Simflight Award. This new version is a completely new development setting the bar even higher again, coming with much more content than the previous version.
Features:
5 high detail airports with all buildings and clutter objects like vegetation, people, animals, vehicles and more:
VNLK Lukla
VNSB Syangboche
VNPL Phaplu
VNKL Kangel Danda
VNRT Rumjatar
7 generic airports with details like tower positions, ground layout and thrilling hand edited terrain:
VNKD Man Maya Khanidanda
VNBJ Bhojpur
VNTR Tumlingtar
VNRC Ramechhap
VNJI Jiri
VNTJ Taplejung Suketar
VNLD Lamidanda
Many helipads, most of them in very high altitudes
A whopping coverage area of 200x200 kilometers
Detailed hand edited mesh terrain
More than 366 thousand autogen buildings
More than 60 million (!) individually placed trees in their respective vegetation areas (e.g. shrubs in the alpine areas, tropical trees in the valley rain forests)
A hand edited and georeferenced combination of satellite imagery with higher resolutions around the core areas (see maps).
Modelled points of interest like hanging bridges, stupas etc.
Detailed mesh with rock and glacier outcrops around Mt. Everest Basecamp making helicopter landings there as challenging as they really are
Extensive manual with custom made maps and airport charts
Free bonus: Semi fictional to be build large “Tingri Airport” north of Mount Everest
Absolutely amazing scenery package! You get so much more than just the Lukla area and Mt Everest. The whole area spans an enormous amount of coverage. Dozens of heliports and small airstrips. All in great detail. Lukla won’t disappoint and there are some other airports just as difficult. The base camp at the base of Everest is covered with tents and even some climbers hanging around amongst them. So much to explore you just shouldn’t skip this scenery.
bonjour
j'ai acheté cet add on et je suis particulièrement satisfait
7 aéroports de hautes montagnes et en plus en surprise le d'Havilland twin otter qui est l'avion parfait pour ce type d'aéroport.
on est dans le pilotage pure 'sans prétention' je ne suis pas pilote' les approches sont difficiles et les atterrissages se font sur des pistes en pentes avec en bout de piste le plus souvent un mur
donc on a pas droit à l'erreur 'enfin en simulation si on se crash on peut recommencer'
merci au développeurs
je donne la note maxi 5 étoiles
cordialement
Highly recommended for those who still fly in FSX just waiting for MSF2020. The airport and scenery around, are excellent. It really does challenge your skills as pilot, it is probably one of the most difficult approaches and landings in the world.
