About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Graskop Airfield, South Africa. Graskop Airfield does not appear in the default FS2004, neither is the town included which is a pity as the airfield lies right on the edge of a gorge where bungee jumping and even a Gorge-lift (elevator) or a slide across the gorge can be enjoyed by the adrenaline junkies. Added to this, the airfield (and town of Graskop) is merely 10km from the world famous God's Window (also featured in the film, "The Gods must be Crazy"). This package will add a custom (Gmax and Sketchup) made Graskop Airfield (AWK4), Mpumalanga, South Africa with photoreal textures and ground textures. The included Landclass file will also add the town. The small airfield has been recreated with custom true to life models and photoreal textures. While being a very small airfield with only one hangar and a large antenna tower, the importance of the airfield far outweighs its size. The airfield plays a vital role in the fight against wildfires as there are water bombers based at the airfield during critical times. In real life the runway is quite challenging, being sloped quite significantly and very narrow, with a one-way-in one-way-out landing and takeoff procedure. Due to the limits within flightsim, the slope could not be replicated but all the other challenges are there. The asphalt runway is aligned 15/33 and only 800m long by 8.5m wide and sits at an elevation of 4854 ft. By Kobus van Wyk and Morne van Wyk.
