The Merowinger Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just discovered that KSBA is not equipped with sloped runways (e.G. 33R), compared to the default scenery. Is it too difficult to develope it for the moment and maybe there will be an update for that later? Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hello, the answer we have been given is that the airport is virtually flat. Are you making your judgement based on images of the real thing, or the appearance of the default airport in the simulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangler Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yep, charts show elevation changes of only 2 feet, at most, from thresholds to center of field. Doubt that would be really obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merowinger Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks Nick, I looked at the default airport, there I noticed a small slope. A good idea to look into real pictures or at the charts next time. Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVSandleben Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 One can clearly see that in Google Maps/Earth. https://www.google.de/maps/place/Santa+Barbara,+Kalifornien,+USA/@34.4191959,-119.8368891,27a,35y,342.92h,79.33t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x80e914c76f2d83d5:0xc8d13a64d7ba7648!8m2!3d34.4208305!4d-119.6981901?hl=de Flat as a pan.

ravenn22 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 There's a tiny bit of elevation change on 7/25 but not enough to get excited over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadeobrady Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The airport is incredibly flat - it was build over marsh fields that were cleared decades ago and flattened. I've flown in and out of it dozens of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
