Description
As expected, WU6 has broken LS60 due to a much better terrain model. I'm not sure if it's feasable to fix it, but I'll look into options. For now, you can still enjoy the challenge by disabling the WU6, or try to land on the now much higher detailed and rocky slope.
Thanks for enjoying the Rockfall!
Flying around Switzerland in my Grravel, landing on many things and steep slopes I shouldn't have been landing on, I came across this large rockfall in Switzerland.
It conveniently had paved the way for a risky, and slippery runway at an angle aircraft such as the Grravel can appreciate. Lesser aircraft have failed, and no others have been able to successfully climb the slope. This challenging slope has become so popular during the summer that a helicopter even dropped a windsock to be installed at the flat base.
Let's see if you can land it!
Challenge 1: Land on the flat 'STOL' threshold before the slope begins. It's the easiest way to park the aircraft if you want a break. Takeoffs can easily be done with minimal runup.
Challenge 2: To the right as you approach the slope is another tiny area, extreme STOL only. You'll find an X-Cub there waiting for you. Be careful! Large rocks surround the clearing ready to take your prop, or a wing off! Can you land and take off there?
Challenge 3: Land on The Slope itself, but be careful! Loose rocks are still present making it slippery and hazardous for your prop. Do you land slow with flap, or fast with no flap? Is your aircraft powerful enough to stop instead of rolling backwards? If not, what is your plan?
Once you've landed without bending your aircraft, how are you going to take off again? Turn around and risk damaging a wing? Lesser aircraft are forced to to this tricky manoeuvre. The Grravel, having the power to climb the hill can simply launch up the hill. Then you simply pull up and over, falling away from the slope inverted while gaining sufficient speed to roll around again.
At the top of the slope is a curve to the next rockfall. Perhaps we could take the turn? Is this is how you will get airborne again?
One thing is for sure, if your aircraft doesn't have enough power to stop on the slope, and brakes alone won't help you on this loose surface, you'll be needing to get yourself airborne again quickly, or slide in your wreck down to your doom.
Welcome to The Rockfall, Switzerland. LS60.
update v1.2 - Changed Modellib.BGL name - silly me forgot to change this!
- Changed and aircraft to the Savage Cub, didn't realise other aircraft like the Shock Ultra didn't show for 'standard' users.
- Added more rocks!
***Unfortunately this scenery is not compatible with the new awesome 20m terrain mesh for Switzerland, as it basically relies on bing's crappy data (for the parking 'step'). I may make a seperate version in the future to work with it as time permits. In the meantime, check out that mesh, it's quite nice: SWITZERLAND 20m DEM ***
Happy landings!

Unfortunately they've fixed the terrain it relied on for the step in WU6. Still thinking of a solution, but I think I'd have to re-terraform the whole area again.
It sure was fun though.

Hi. Thanks for the great mod. I just managed a touch and go at Rockfall and made a small video. https://youtu.be/fTcoD-Isk_U
