FSX: Steam Edition - Catalina Airport (KAVX) Add-On Torrent Download [full Version] >>> http://imgfil.com/19i5xo
About This Content Fall off this mountain top and the only way is down - and don’t forget to fuel up for the round trip!Catalina Airport (KAVX) is situated on Santa Catalina Island and is known as the ‘Airport in the Sky’ due to its elevation at 1,602ft (488m) above sea level. The airport is located six miles (10km or 5 NM) northwest of Avalon, or to position it in relation to the mainland of the USA, it is off Long Beach, California. The airport originally opened as ‘Buffalo Springs Airport’ in the late 1930s; prior to this time, the island was accessible only to amphibious aircraft.The runway was built by blasting away the tops of two mountains and using the 200,000 truckloads of rock to fill the gap between them. A scheduled passenger service was briefly provided by United Airlines in DC-3s, but this was discontinued; it is, however, used for airfreight from the mainland, with supplies being delivered via a Douglas DC-3 aircraft daily.Don’t be fooled by the long disused refuelling equipment located on the pavement in front of the terminal building - no fuel is actually available. It does, however, sell buffalo burgers!The SIM720 airport download has been created to replicate the real world site, featuring high quality bespoke models, custom photo-real textures and hand placement of buildings. The package includes many additional ambient features as objects seen in the real airport have been modelled and positioned, allowing you to immerse yourself in a realistic flight simulation environment that greatly adds to the experience of pilots using the airport.

Everything looks just like the real airport and even has active aircraft taxing in and out as well as takeoffs and landings with communications. Great way to get used to the approach to this difficult airport and you can add low vis and other WX conditions to make it even more challenging. My suggestion, is to buy it.. Catalina Airport is a nice airport. One of the most dangerous\/challenging to land at. I think it takes a Twin Otter as the largest aircraft currently. It's short runway with steep drops on either side make this airport a fun one to fly in and out of.Texture wise it is very nice. Frame rate wise, I notice no drops really. Is it worth buying? Yes, yes it is.. Really fun to challenge yourself to try to land jets here. It's such a blast! Definitely worth the money!
