SPZO - Cuzco is a favourite, particularly in low cloud, flying down the canyon with mountains very close to the wingtips...LOWI, SLSU (this is wicked....the VOR/DME from one end is really hard....the visual from the other end is darn near suicidal...you need LATINVFR scenery, the default scenery in FSX is wrong)

My Four Weeks having the NGX:Eagle/Vail not too bad.LOWI: Mountains, visibility was low,Flores Azore islands. large hill directly next to the airport, runway is 4,500ftKey West was not an easy landing, easy takeoff.Departure from Kangerlussuaq Airport (BGSF) in Greenland is not easy from either runway.

I recall hearing in the Aerosoft Forums that they want to build the airport, but they can't because they don't get access to the real one to make their photos. And if they don't I think no other developer will. That might be why there is no addon scenery out there for this airport.

For me, it would have to be Gatwick, Heathrow and Johannesburg blum.gifFlew a few flights for BAV and flew into LOWI, wasn't that hard. Also did a few flights into the Swiss Alps airports (can't remember their names), wasn't hard as such, just had to know where your surroundings were :) NGX terrain mode makes it too easy ;)

Then turn the terrain radar off and set the visibillity down to the minimum :(

Thanks I'll have a look into that. But I have the problem that all scenerys which I import from FS9 take my FSX down to about 1fps! Is there an solution for this problem?

Greetings from the 737 flightdeck!

Is there an Eagle/Vail addon?

It is hard to measure difficulty. I have had more difficult time in superbusy London TMA even if the approach itself was easy ILS, than in Innsbruck, where I had the town in sight from before Rattenberg and could just sail down visually. I also wonder how an RNP approach into Innsbruck looks like. I know Naverus made them for SkyEurope.NGX itself with its LNAV/VNAV and so on also takes part of the difficulty away, but nevertheless, I have to name Cuzco, Sucre, Tegucigalpa et al. Latin America airports, that I toured in a 727. I can tell you I was glad for the third engine every single departure.Samedan is also worth mentioning, a VFR airport in the Alps, not permitting anything bigger than a BBJ. That one was a challenge even in HUGS equipped NG.

Maybe Thai Creation will do FSX in the future? Edited by UAL115

Straight in ILS and LOC DME approaches are easy. Try the ones below which have no ILS and do not use your HUD. Then you will finally get to test your skills and see how good you really are.MHTG (Scenery by LatinVFR) RNAV Rwy 02

Anyone who - like me - likes real-time, real world weather might like to try an approach to YPPD (my home airport of Port Hedland) in about 10 hours time as tropical cyclone Heidi should be running over the aiport about then! http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60281.shtml Qantas and virgin fly perth to port hedland regularly, but i'm guessing the airport is now about closed as we're on yellow alert. I might try a midnight flight with as2012 if we still have power.At the moment it is just overcast and gusty, but i suspect the weather might get more interesting over the next few hours.I have flown at least once (as a pax in a baron 58) just before a cyclone hit. I remember asking the pilot as the two of us walked out to the plane if 'birds flying backward' was a bad sign for aviators. :)

For Departures,... Try RWY 15 Swift 7 (YBCS). CairnsIt requires an earliest left turn near 400ft or at DER.LFMN Rwy 04 Both (Nice) has a similar initial SID.If you have the ORBX Scenery for Cairns , it,s quite good & not to heavy on frame rates ( If you have fairly good system)SID can be obtained at the Air servicesAustralia web site under DAP (Departure Approach Procedures.)Regards,Stewart Thompson

SBRJ I think probably takes the cake in real life - that runway is so short.
You're not wrong Ryan, you're not wrong... :(
