i am looking for a very scenic airport with terrain mesh around it, the airport needs to be for small cessnas and not A380s or similar. I would prefer it to have a lake, and some mountains in it.
anyone kno where i can get one?

Cobzz,

Try Telluride. Nice approach. Watch for the building that Microsoft left on the runway Wink

.

If you want good mountains..... install higher resolution terrain mesh. There's free stuff in the SImV libraries. I use FSGenesis mesh.... supurb.

Aspen isn't too bad either. Unless you add a little bad weather.

best,

Jared,

I think you and I were in the same session at WSP when we found that one.

Someone on the ground said I cleared it by about 10 feet.

LOL
i went there in PMDGs 737
form that place to denver.
programed the FMC with sids & stars. it was lightly loaded, but still had 23000pounts of payload and like 30% fuel. i didnt limit thrust, set flaps to 15 to clear the building. rotated just before it. And my left landing gear hit iit and wouldnt retract, LOL.
i had to restart flight and reprogram the FMC.
Also, is there a mod for PMDG 737 so i can load a flight without reloading the FMC and autopilot, i have latest version(1.2 cause i dont need the 1.3patch because i got my plane after the time it it said i would need the patch)

YEP! You had mentioned something in the multiplayer forum and suggested that you would be online then, so I joined in the fun!

And it is true! You were ten feet or less from taking off your landing gear!

Cobzz, I always fly from Mount Cook in New Zealand. Its situated in the middle of a mountain range, with a lake Wink

. Its also got a cliff at the end of the runway, which can also be quite amusing...
