KVSandleben Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I just stumbled upon this. Not only is this one hell of a difficult approach, it is also near one of the most beautiful moutainous areas of the world. Unmarked private airfield. What more do you need? So get your act together and develop this for P3D. ORBX style! https://www.google.de/maps/place/Locher+Srl/@46.5977055,11.378161,1958m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4782a11373de7cdb:0xcfaf14142b0772be!8m2!3d46.5994495!4d11.3796902?hl=de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgreenwo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Wow - what a place. I don't know whats worse the approach or the taxi way - both look a touch life threatening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandinavian Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I would buy that airport. Crazy approach. Power lines are scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 What an airport, didn't even see cables 3. That would be a great edition for FSX. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenecho3 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 That is undeniably very cool. Hopefully they illuminate "Cables 3" for night approaches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy70 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 It is being done by a forum member on simouthouse as freeware. Not Orbx. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenecho3 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 We haven't even mentioned the terminal that's built into the ground and the narrow path leading to it. Wonder why the hell someone decided to build this airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The danger of those cables, we paragliders have to live with that each day! ;p BTW. nice Video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckayi Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If you ask nicely they may get started on it hopefully tomorrow, but tomorrow in orbx time could today or a week next Tuesday, and won't work on P3d v4 until sometime in the future, maybe.

Wonder why the hell someone decided to build this airport? It is a private airport of this company http://www.locher.it/ in South Tyrol (Alto Adige), not far from the edges of Jarrad's LOWI scenery (hint). Here is the link to another video about this airport (no pushback required ). The Pilot is one of the company's owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why the hell someone decided to build this airport? From the little information I gathered this is where the company Locher SAS KG is situated. And either the founder or his son is so fond of flying that he decided to build and Airfield just right next to his company. Just because he could. I've made several trips into the general area, although never to Sarintia Valley, and this company is really THE biggest one in the area when it comes to securing roads. You see them everywhere.

volkira Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 We need Orbx to have a new section/type of scenery called Extreme Landings. I would be happy purchasing these types of Airports for the challenge. Now multiplayer here would be a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 There are a whole series of youtube videos, featuring vacation flights with the PC12, wonderful stuff. I think one of them was to Courcheval, and others around the med! It is a unique airport and looks deserving of a scenery package. Looks scary (and is) but with a good pilot and a PC!2, its all doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfromoz Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Speaking as someone who can mess up a landing in Norfolk... it looks like fun! EDIT - I checked after reading speedy70's post that "It is being done by a forum member on simouthouse as freeware." As of about two weeks ago a couple of their folk look like collaborating on it.

Bassman Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 In the second video how is the aircraft taxying without props turning? I keep re-running the video and buggered if I can see a tug of any kind....Maybe I am just going blind or do not know the aircraft itself. Please explain? Also, presuming one knows where the cables are, the approach and landing are not difficult at all. Lot's of much harder approaches in Canada and New Zealand. The taxi up and down the ramp are the problematic ones. Although again if you know your aircraft and can control revs properly and have serviceable brakes, no difficulty there either. Says one who has never landed at Locher...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandinavian Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Looks like a combination of a slight decline from the hangar and a guy pushing on the right wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, what I meant with "no pushback required" in my other post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
