Well if you visit the payware gallery I asked for a few shots of everest but no one went and got them so well I did so here they are. This is a grat place to fly but Cessnas DO NOT WORK lol.

Crusing in over the foot hills...
Image

Going In Low, this was a interesting little canyon thing...
Image

Turning to climb for the Summit...
Image

The summit is to the right and I belive that other hill is called the Hillary Step one of the hardest parts of a climb(correct me if im wrong)
Image

Theres the top! Its not much in FS I guess...
Image

And flying away to someplace a little warmer!
Image

I am useing the Freeware global terrain mesh on this flight but it is not absolutly neccisary to get a good view of the mountains and if you dont want to take the fun way and fly from the nearest airport VNLK(a short grass strip. To take the King Air off you will need to use some terrain as well) or use the map option and go straight to Everest useing coordanents Latitude 27

Gunnerman,

I just posted a shot of Everest in your payware thread (that it seems you removed your posts from).  Mine has the FSGenesis terrain mesh installed.

best,

WellI saw those mountains had had to have more! So well I got in King Air again because thats the only airplane small enugh yet large enugh to operate well at those altitudes. So Here I am at this small grass strip strategicly place in a hol with large hills on each end.... im sitting here wondering how im going to get her in the air so I conclude I eed to use surrouding terrain to make my runway longer ::) So I get in the air and man that was uhh exilarating. Im fkying at 20k looking at the scenery and mountains and after about 15 minutes I see the runway. Its shorter than uhh well you know what I mean so I decend in have a good aproach amazingly land and turned on the . Brake(Parking ::)) I guess it was to much for the King because the nose was in the ground but we all lived, my conclusion: Muddy Runway ;) :D  If your looking for a VERY challenging place go to Nepal Bush flying dosent get much more extreme

Yeah im sorry I do need to keep on top of my spelling and grammar  :-/ I get to typing when my hands are stiff and I have no life you'd think I would correct it and people get mad at me for it so we will try harder from this point on!  8)
