An elevated rail tunnel from the Sonora mainland near el Sargento to Isla Tiburon across the Gulf of California which was abandoned due to lack of funding. It seems a shame not to use it for some precision flying :)
An airstrip with ICAO code PZ99 has been placed close to the northern entrance of the tunnel
The rail tunnel is 7.5 kilometers long and only 20 metres in diameter but with skill and the right aircraft I'm sure you can take on the challenge. Once commited to the entrance there is no going back so buckle up and enjoy the rush!
If you have the 'We love VFR' mod installed the tunnel will be filled with smoke in places :)
v1.0 1st release
v1.1 update to improve the collision detection in the tunnel (you have been warned :) )

Thanks for making this! I wanted to do something like this ever since I saw Dario Costa fly through the Istanbul tunnels.

you're welcome I enjoyed the video 😊 If you want something for Halloween check the Cougar Basin and halloween add-on I've just updated 😊

I'm particularly proud of this one.
If doing it with the Pitts was (relatively) easy, with the Stearman it was an upper level. Needed a few more attempts and a real fine tuning of elevator, ailerons and pitch trim.

Wow! It is awesome, thank you!
I tried at night, unfortunately the tunnel seems to be illuminated also outside. During dayflight, it seems too illuminated. Do you have plans to improve this awesome addon?

Now I know it works I'm looking for a proper location to install a similar tunnel

Awesome!! Nice little quickie you got there. Love it! Made my night! Made a few runs with my Stealth and one with the Gee Bee R3. I think I'll share : https://youtu.be/arrzyVbPALM

Well to start it's a pipe not a tunnel and personally I think texture choice is odd to say the least. I love the idea and normally the maker of this released some cool stuff but this looks super rushed and like doesn't have even a gram of love his other works have. Personally very glad Jeppeson is making an actual tunnel that's sim quality out soon.
Edit: Lol wow some folk really can't deal with folk disagreeing and having taste...

This mod was done in a couple of hours as a concept, people liked it and want to play with it so it was uploaded so it could easily be shared. The texture was chosen to give a good impression of speed in the tunnel. Most of my scenery development can take weeks before I'm happy to upload it and even then it will go through weeks of additional refinements. Pipe vs Tunnel? not important, Mexican tunnel run sounded better than Mexican pipe run. To end, I really do appreciate an honest and valid review so even the one star is ok. Kev

Let him talk for nothing ! If he don't like it he can do his own one, and we'll test it to see what he can do better.
I've spent complete last night to fly your tunnel with differents planes. Not often successful but so funny. It needs good skills to to see the sun again...
Thanks again, this year Santa came sooner !

Thanks a lot for this challenging scenery. I flew it with the Pitts. I did it at the 6th attempt. 160 seconds of cold sweat and total concentration !

great looking tunnel, collisions seems to be missing though
Photosbykev 2 year(s) ago
Collision and Road textures are enabled on the textures so the plane should crash if/when one of the contact points on the plane hits the surface

only the true track surface collides ?(where the rails go).

Challenge failed, we can see your wings touching the walls 2 or 3 times wich means that in real life you'd be dead.
JiannisCamel 2 year(s) ago
Yes you are right.
in other tests I touched the wall and I had an accident, I thought that was his shadow.
Thanks for telling me!
