Hey Bass, if you like Lukla, you should take a look at these archives:

1 - http://www.vf-air.com/VF-AIR.zip
This is an object library. Install it as if it were a normal scenery. The various sceneries offered by this website are using the objects included in this library.

2- http://www.vf-air.com/VNLKxp2.zip
This is the Lukla airport with sloped runway! It replaces the horrible default airport we see in your screenshots, which is in the wrong place, with wrong heading, and has a flat runway instead of a sloped one :P Careful, landings WILL be challenging ;)
It's a normal scenery. Declare it just above the object library  in your scenery library.

Also you can look up Frank Dainese's freeware sceneries, he does have a photorealistic Everest that looks real good. And finally if you want to spend a little bit of money, Aerosoft is selling a payware version of Lukla that is real nice! Hope it helps.

Thank you Daube.
I will surely have a very close look at those links.

Thank you too pfevrier.
I am using the scenery made by Holger Sandmann for fs9.
I will try Frank's for sure. I've seen the Lukla made by Aerosoft and you're right, it looks amazing, but paying for something you will rarely use, is another matter.
Dont you agree.

Thanks folks ;)

The freeware scenery I provided above will reproduce a sloped runway just like the Aerosoft one. Sure it won't look as detailled as the payware scenery, but it will look quite nice already. These sloped runways are really difficult to land on. They make takeoffs much easier though :)

And pfevrier, those sceneries Frank made is astonish :)
