VFR (Direct - GPS) Lukla (VNLK) Nepal

[inky160]

FS2020 v1.23.12 Light Airplane Types to Lukla Nepal.

 

There's an FS2020 Discovery Flight to Mount Everest,

which is okay for returning to Lukla from the north.

My flights from the south instead, departing Phaplu Airport (VNPL).

Thanks for the kind words all.

At this airport, care should be taken on approach, speed and landing any of the small planes used here at 2,845 m (9,334 ft) elevation with an 11.7% grade.

Bing data displays fairly realistic graphics in this region around Mt Everest.

Actually, I cheated a little to help boost visual quality by changing time of day and weather conditions. Live weather not used.

Graphic options that seem to work well for terrain, objects, clouds, etc., set to ULTRA.

Photogrammetry ON.

Terrain level of detail and Objects = 200.

Anti-Aliasing = TAA.

Render Scaling (2880 x 1525) = 150.

 

VFR flight path from Phaplu Airport (VNPL) to Lukla is shown in Little NavMap.

Great shots!!

 

I recently made the same sim trip in a Beech Baron. And yes, even in a sim it can pucker you up on final!!

 

BTW: RW a Pilatus is a super ride with a lot of cargo loading ability as well!!
