And here are some French "airports" with slooped runways.

Megeve

Meribel

Alpes D'Hues

Courchevel Shocked

This field has no runway, so its free of charge, but i think
the fellow who should clean one, is on strike Cool

Hi bass...

Nice set and I do like to see aircraft like biplanes and triplanes anytime... Wink

Lots of Flying Farmers Airfields have sloped runways around here. Our two are level and look better than some well groomed golf courses... Grin

Clearing land for a runway is time consuming and expensive on a farm or private acreage. If one is going to do it right some thoughtful planning and good drainage have to be considered and especially if you have water frontage.
Wind direction, especially near water and hills also has to be studied prior to clearing any spot.

Have a great day bass... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Very nice shots !
For Courchevel, if I remember correctly the author has made a different ICAO code. Take a look on the map, Courchevel from VF-AIR should be just a few yards away from your current location, which is still on the default (now invisible) Courchevel airport.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Hi there Trucker.
I can imagine the hard workit is, to keep flight ways clean out in the "bush"! Dont make too many holes on your "golf courses"

A very good day to you too.

Hi Daube.
Well, i'll start the engine and have a look around.
Thank you. Wink

I found the Courchevel. It was renamed to CourcevelX.
Some bugs tho...

a strange line and black behind persons?

Anyway i like it. Took a flight in Cessna

Some hard work to get up the loop

And again a little bug. The person to the right is a moving part, the person to the left is not.

Yes, that's the one

These bugs are suprising. Did you follow the installation instructions ? If I remember correctly, you have to declare the sceneries in a certain order...

I'm almost sure i did it correctly Roll Eyes

Copied folder altiports_alpesxv2 into addon scenery, then declared sceneries inside that folder:
alti0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, one at the time

The FSX terrain patch:
lclookup.bgl went into base scenery and texture into world texture.

The 'bugs' are old 2-D scenery objects who's transparency (the black) is no longer supported in FSX. Depending on the model, it can be seen as the black background or as the 'see thru' transparency issue.

As I recall, the support for these was 'broken' with FSX-SP2. It's possible the author created the scenery in FSX RTM or SP1 and didn't the 'bugs'.

The animated people are FSX default scenery objects, so render properly.

Don't know about the black line, didn't see that when I installed the scenery.

Thanks Dave.
I can live with the black, but its fun to see the moving persons, waving, talking phones (with french/alps hand movements) and smoke from houses

That black line only shows in certain looks, dont know what it is, maybe some mesh/ground tex related to my grafic hw!?

In the beginning i installed the scenery from AltiportsAlpesxv2.zip.
It should have been AltiportsAlpesX2.zip for fsx sp2.

Courchevel

Flying from Alpes D'Hues to Courchevel

There is a 650kb per thread limit Wink

Please start another thread

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
