renault Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 This is really an enjoyable, if challenging part of the Orbx world to fly Cheers R VNSB - Syangboche Airport Nepal REX Accuseasons, REX Weather Force, Orbx Himalayan Mesh, Kodiak 100 II - Custom livery from flightsim.to I think the ground crew are a really tough crowd. Most are sensible and dress for the conditions, but there always is one guy who thinks it's "July" regardless of the season It's perfect for a STOL aircraft. There's not a lot of room. You pretty much need a turbo too - it's 12, 500 ft elevation. My whoops moment !! If you decide to fly here, keep your whit's about you at the end of the runway One instant you're just enjoying life and the scenery and the next - well ....... Kinda sucks the breath right out from under you, and you think what on earth am I doing?? But all is good and there's room to get straightened out again - Phew!!! It really is a drop dead gorgeous part of the world and well worth the visit.... And yes, its a bit chilly out -15C , so not too bad. I love the auto climate control . Just set the temps, hit auto, the fans come on and life is good Thanks for viewing Cheers! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
