edwin Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Just a general interest query. I have just been Bush flying up Valley to AZ5 Cache Creek in Canada to be met by an incredibley sloping runway. (In appauling weather but l managed to land the Mooney safely!!)a. Is AZ5 like that for real--or just another XP thingy-ma-jig?b. What is the real life most inclined airport?Cheers Edited July 1, 2012 by edwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloB Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I think Courchevel in France has one of the steepest runways, almost 19%. Crazy. Flo Edited July 1, 2012 by FloB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Now that was neat Flob cheers. However on the downside I couldn't help noticing the sound of the engines. I've always thought/hoped XP's Beechcraft's engines to be reasonably realistic but in comparison I think they're far from it. However watching the Mooney landing there from the same bunch of clips I'd give Carenado's Mooney's sound representation a 90% mark up. (Couldn't help noticing as I very rarely get into watching such clips for some reason--but will do) Cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 That's one of the better videos of landing at Courchevel that I've seen. I landed at Cache Creek when I was working on my Canadian Rockies scenery package. The runway has a noticeable slope to it but not nearly as dramatic as X-Plane depicts it.
