Roelio 159 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 This excellent freeware addon was recently released and it is fantastic! Forget Saba, forget Courchevel, forget St. Barths, forget Lukla. THIS is a real challenge! Located in the Italian Dolomites, 9NM from Bolzano, Locher airfield it is squeezed in a valley with powerlines, trees, a church and of course: mountains on the approach. Going around is not possible, so you better do it right the first time. It is privately owned and the owner owns a Pilatus PC-12, a Pocket Rocket (which is a home-build VLA with a 450HP Allison Turbine engine, because you need power if you want to take off here) and an Aviat Husyky A-1C STOL aircraft. Anyways, I dragged the Carenado PC-12 out of the hangar to get a little feeling on how the owner of this incredible airfield must feel! Please login to display this image. Loading up Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Just a view of the airfield in all of it's craziness Please login to display this image. The approach and departure path Please login to display this image. The climbing already starts at the ramp Please login to display this image. But the climbing it doesn't stop there... Please login to display this image. Literally looking down the "runway" Please login to display this image. We need full throttle and 2/3 of flaps to get out of here Please login to display this image. It's close, bur it can be done! Please login to display this image. Barely clearing the trees and powerlines just behind the "threshold" Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Climbing through the valley, clearing another set of powerlines Please login to display this image. Now we're safe. Well sort of, there are still mountains on both sides Please login to display this image. Climbing to cruising altitude, in the distance lays the city of Bolzano You can download this scenery here:https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=201206 And a video how the approach is flown in real life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43OXzp40Y I hope you enjoyed these pics! They will probably be the last P3D V3.4 screenshots you'll see from me, as I will be upgrading to V4 very soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musefan 363 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Saw this scenery earlier in the week, it looks amazing for freeware. Does anyone know if it's working in P3Dv4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roelio 159 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks for the link Cloose, I guess I messed up somewhere And thanks for the kind words Ed! They are much appreciated! Nealmac: I think it does, as it has been released two weeks ago. But I'll test it pretty soon and if no one did it before me, I'll give you the results.

Aharon 465 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 GREAT SHOTS and thanks for letting/educating us about this airport that I never knew about! Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotth6 145 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I saw the development thread of this on Sim Outhouse from the designer (Dimus) since the inception of this scenery. Not only has he completed what seems like a complex scenery really fast, but I believe he has created one of the best freeware airfields ever. It is a combination of photoreal and 3D models to create the apron, ramp and hangars which are set in to the ground, and the end result is just spectacular.
