Can-Tastic pt. 2

Next part of Congo's Canyons!!


Cutting through at 500KIAS


Another view of the starting airport


I hope no one gets vertigo!!


The final approach of one of the main airstrips. It looks a LOT worse from up the top. I flew it manual, no ILS... It is quite a challenge!!

Overall Congo has done an excellent job designing these canyons!! There is a lot more but I was too busy having fun to take screenies.

Now that looks like fun! The second last pic borders on hallucenegenic...you keeping anything from us Winged One?  ;)

Nope ... I'm just showing off the works of Congo, he's the one who came up with it... if anyone's hiding something it's him

[congo]

Those shots look like you had fun Winged One

ah so your meant to follow those tower thing DOWN the way, think I was flying in that area today in the real air spit and I climbed to the top of those then found an airport 12000 ft almost vertically below me
Had to cut the engine (left the prop winmilling for more drag), put undercarriage and flaps down and sideslip and still fly a circuit around the airfield

i gotta tell ya...that final approach is one of the craziest i have ever flown!  congo, what is it 9 degree glideslope...normal is 3!!!!  but damn its a lotta fun!  TLF is now my default airport!

[Wingo]

Congo - Ok sure, I'll look into that

Wealthy - Sounds like my normal landings, ecept I skip the circuit

Colonel - I know, It is an AWESOME final, and the runway is nice and friendly at the end (luckily)

hey by any chance,

does anyone know if it will work in FS2002?


Had two many things crash FS...dont want to take a chance.

would like to make sure.

[congo]

It should work fine on FS2002. In fact, in FS2002, it should show up in the airport list.

ooooo...ok!!!

am downloading it as I type!

I want to know how you made it only 1.4 MB.

[congo]

It is actually a very tiny addon, the only reason it's 1.4mb is because of the included pictures, documentation and textures for my lakes and runways.

While the program I used (Flight Simulator Scenery Creator) is reasonably powerful, I don't use many of it's functions, basically, the scenery is hundreds of flat areas set at different heights and edited with multiple points into basic contours. This process, when compiled into a scenery bgl file, results in a small data size.

Regarding use in FS2002, if the default mesh is different to FS2004's, (and I believe it is), then you will see some differences around the scenery edges and possibly some slight variations within the scenery where I have left some areas blank on purpose (so the default or user mesh bleeds through to create some subtle variation within the scenery). This applies to people using addon mesh of the region as well...... multiplayer users should all be running default mesh (for this area only) or the same addon mesh if they wish to see the exact same rendering of the landscape, but I have not tested this.

What you drop down 12000ft vertically...I know what plane you use, its called a HARRIER  8)
