Mount Rushmore and the Badlands Natl Park

Postby jordonj » Sun Jun 27, 2004 8:51 pm

Since I am in that area in FS2004, I am wondering...

Are these already in the game, or is there somewhere I can download them...I've looked for them and found nothing.

Also, what about the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City?

Not sure about the badlands or the Mormon Temple, but you can find Mt Rushmore by starting at KCUT and fly a heading of 011, depending on the plane you use probably 8-10 minutes  ;D

Not sure about the Badlands National Park, but Mt. Rushmore is included as well as the Mormon Temple in St. Lake City. The temple is easy to find, just take off from Salt Lake City Intl then head east into downtown. It's hard to miss  ;)

I took off from KRAP (what an awful name!).  I then flew about 225.  I'm handicapped since I have no idea what Mt Rushmore looks like from the air.

I'll have to get it another time as I'm already at KGCC (in Gillette-Campbell County Airport).  The images of my landing are much more interesting, as you will see.  I'll be posting them tomorrow evening...

There's a pre-configured flight in FS9 that will take you right past mt rushmore, I think it tells you how to get there in the description without having to load the actual flight.


KRAP... haha... never seen that one before...

KRAP refers to Rapid City (in South Dakota)..

Also, I am using the 70M Global Terrain mesh...might that make a difference?

It won't stand out that much as it does in the default mesh, but still a high-visibility landmark i think
