NOTICE: After some 727 bush flying in Africa CloudSurfer flies helicopters now too.

FSX NTSB.

That freeware KTEX Telluride looks really good. I've just slewed around.




So I think we can try Lou's tip with all planes now, the location is set.  

Compare it with the default airport from here. http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1344489562/118#118 A major improvement and it works with UTX installed and without, so no worries.  

KTEX Telluride, here we go with the 727!   I may post some pictures later.


Seems like even the pudding part is featured now.

The devil made me do it!  

KTEX with the 747...   No more gate space!

The "Thunder Pig" a.k.a. 727 was never a star takeoff performer with the -5 or even -7 engines.

I used about 30% fuel and it took a good bit of runway.
The 747 with the same 30% fuel did about the same, using a lot of runway. V1 would not have worked.

Oh BTW I used a lot of braking and got the Brake Temp light again!  

The 757 or the A-320 series planes would do a nice job operating at KTEX.

I never flew into KTEX in the 727. With larger engines the -100 would do OK. Stopping is never a problem in the 727.

I never gave it a second thought in the 757 flying into KTEX or KSNA for that matter - only around 5,700 feet of runway and VERY noise sensitive to boot!

Very busy airport with a lot of GA traffic. Notice how close the GA runway is to the main runway. Often times they would have parallel small traffic and a 757 almost right next to each other. If you didn't see the little plane - which was almost always because of haze and the fact that you are looking at the rear profile - you almost always had to go around.

The airport would open at 0700. I flew into this airport for months at a time flying the dawn patrol. The big fun was to try to get your clearance in early and be first to taxi. If I remember, this was one of the highest revenue stations we flew into. Nobody, if they could avoid it, wanted to fly out of KLAX so they would pay the premium price to use KSNA.  





A turn to 175 degrees after takeoff is required for noise abatement. The 727 was so loud it would never be allowed into this airport.

Which addons are you running around the US? Things like UTX and some mesh maybe?

If you have UTX, make sure to perform this step.

It worked here, but I don't know if this solves the elevation problem. The airport looks ok here with UTX USA and FSGlobal mesh.

On the KSAN scenery (which is a great tip), I had the same problem with some mixed up elevation. First step was to disable the Megascenery SoCal airport of mine. That's a single bgl file. Then I still had some trouble with the terrain and made a correction file. I can send you that one if you like.

Edited:



I'm planning a KSNA flight soon, but I will bring the noisy stuff.   Look, 1979 featured them at KSNA. http://www.myaviation.net/search/photo_search.php?id=01242303&size=large

Lol, I just saw some AI 737 landing at 19L at KSNA (=2800ft rw). Those guys are tough, who would ever doubt that?

I'm not running any sort of addons in those areas. Is there anything in the scenery.cfg file that could mess that up? I've been having trouble with that lately.
