........True enough gents. This is only a vague virtual rendition of Ketchikan, Alaska for the X-Plane. The hazardous part (if you can actually call it hazardous) are the birds in the vicinity of the airport. Nothing more dramatic than that.
I fly a real plane at my home base, and it always gives me pause, as I the wheels of my plane leaves the ground, and I see a big flock of birds, flying in all directions, completely oblivious to the airplane in their near vicinity.
I agree with ...404/ doesn't look at all like KTN. I just left there 6 Sep 07 so might be the software just uses something of a generic scene? I think it would have been better of the software had used actual scenes and not generic stuff.
Actually, the hazardous part is when you're coming in with a 40 mph SE wind and driving rain and you slam down hard, bouncing three times but you're just happy you landed at all.
You had a bit too much flare there buddy resulting your plane to glide way further into the runway. There is no need for THAT much nose pitching.
