That's a good question wonder how you do a go-round there, Reminds me of the flight from Honolulu to Kauai,
your barely in the air before you have to land again. And that landing is just as fun. :icon_lol:

Neat thanks. Visions of Kai Tak. I'll have to check out the FS version and see if I have another testing area.



Well on my machine the field is in one of those deep depressions, real deep, caused by an addon mesh I presume. Have to see what can be done about that.:frown:

I wouldn't want to be that close, those people on the hill. We had a kid here at Love field who was riding his
bicycle on the runway and got himself beheaded. It may have been a motorcycle, either way he was at the wrong place.

That is a fun airport to fly into even in FS. There is some freeware scenery for it that dresses the place up a bit from default. Make sure you have a flight track plotted for reference so you don't get lost in the mountains.
