    LFMB Castillon de la Laquette -France - Image 1

    Description

    Castillon de la laquette is one of the steepest strips in the Pyrenees and in the world. there is not much there but the view makes up for it sparseness. Landing does require some skill and a lot of rollout power to get to the top of the hill, some smaller aircraft will get stuck, unable to reach the tops if they come to a halt.
    You can fly out of my other strip in the area LFSQ Aleu, it's about 52nm, E-W either way. Your choice!

    The Europe World Update changed terrain, so the new version  should work with it. Trog seems to be doing exclusions on strips. So hopefully this one will be added as well.

    This mod you have is even more interesting looking! I'm going to try landing on the steep uphills, Bon Zai! et Merci! :-D

    I had fun finding this one in Alpha and have been there many times since. I even considered correcting the default one a bit until I saw you were working on it, so thanks for that!

    Watched many of Jojo's flights into Barèges, (the steep one), especially when they didn't quite get up the hill enough!

    There's a strip on the opposite side and up the valley a little too (you can see it marked on OpenMaps)

    Yeah, you must keep the power going for smaller planes. I've seen some friends get stuck 3/4 to the top. SHe's a steep one!

    Thanks a lot, interesting location! Just a remark , the "runway" is declared as asphalt. Can you add a parking at the runway top?

    Bonjour,
    Avez vous modeliser le Pic du midi avec ?

    je demande ça car j'ai un mod pour le pic du Midi et je ne voudrais pas que ça interfère entre les 2.

    merci

    Just the strips, none of the mountains.

    Thanks for both this one and Aleu!
    This is really helpful!
    Next... Pene de Soulit? :)

    I just landed there. Possible, but not much there to design :P
    If anyone has suggestions, go for it!

    over 5 years ago

    Yes there is not much but to have it labeled on the map, and ensure correct elevation is already a big plus!

    Very close to LFIP too and as a default, it's awesome.

    S81 Indian Creek, Idaho

    One of the longest strips in the Idaho Backcounty. You'd be suprised what you can get in here. A fantastic location to bounce to many strips in the area. The approach from the north is a blast. There is space to land on the river beside the strip or even practice skimming.
