    VILH Leh - Image 1

    Description

    Leh/VILH is a unique airport in Indian Himalayas with one-way ops due to terrain: Landing runway 07 only, take-off runway 25 only. All commercial ops are conducted in the morning before thermal winds awake. It's also a busy military airport with a mix of logistic ops and fighter ops.

    This is an improvement of default airport, with the following added Features:
    - terraforming to fix bumpy aprons and taxiways. Runway profile was updated with Google Earth viewer elevation data.
    - PAPI fixed
    - TOWER frequency
    - complete rework of all parking stands.
    - vehicule paths
    - a few custom ground markings (helipads, stands on apron 1)
    - some apron material updated, but most of them are stock
    - basic scenery replacing wrong building with more accurate ones, especially mil-style hangars, and some static vehicules

    Dig into the readme for VFR procedures, both standards (by Indian IVAO) and non-standards (from my own experience there in sep 2008), and challenge your manual piloting skills with your favorite airliner in those awesome landscapes.

    For some reason, this addon causes MSFS to crash only when spawning near the airport, it's not an incompatibility issue, the airport itself is just the issue.

    hey can you make VICG please

    Hi there, thank you for this scenery, I then decided to create navdata for MSFS that can be used with your airport

    https://fr.flightsim.to/file/22807/vilh-india-leh-kushok-bakula-rimpoche-airport-navdata-ivao-doc-inspired

    Just one detail, it seems that you inverted the takeoff and landing runway primary/secondary rules (you set landing in 25 and takeoff on 07). My package change this, but I think it could be better if you update this also when you have time.

    Here is the video of your sceney combined with my navdata:

    Yeah, ATC is messed up in one-way in / one way out airports... for that reason I set the tower freq as Unicom. Anyway you're supposed to fly-out VFR and switch to IFR enroute (or the opposite if you're inbound).

    Thank you. India is such a neglected area by Payware addon vendors.

    Added in my to-do list. Could take some weeks or months before I start working on it, maybe somone else will be quicker.

    Fantastic work! I'll definitely be flying to the Ladakh region more often now. Please make scenery for VABB :)

    Thank you!

    Nice work. I will try it as soon as possible. Do you plan to work on other airports in the same region ?

    I saw that Skardu (OPSD) was requested so I will probably release an improved default version just like I did here. Also I may take a look at Thoise near the very scenic Nubra valley (32NM NNW of VILH), a mil-only airport with amazing landing procedures (saw a couple of Hercules C-130 approching here back in 2008).
    But my main focus remains missing Chinese airports, with so much things to do.

    Thank you for your answer. I will keep an eye on your projects.

    China is such a big country, with a lot of missing airports...
