Very few commercial aircraft can land here, with one regularly in use here being the STOL-equipped DHC-6 Twin Otter. The last airport in the package – but certainly not least – is Saba! This little airport is well known for its incredibly short runway – with rocky cliffs at each end of the runway. Take note of the detail beyond the hill like the sailboats, buildings, trees, etc. Here’s that hill imaged from different angles… I found that using less flaps helps fix that.
Diving down the hill increases speed and causes the plane to float. Barts in my FSD Pilatus Porter (a legendary STOL aircraft that I have many hundreds of hours on) and I still had problems. The approach here is very difficult in the 210. FPS performance is better here, and barely ever goes below 25 FPS. Barts (TFFJ) is my favorite airport in this package. This is without using an external limiter or doing much tweaking, and 18 FPS isn’t too bad in FSX, like it is in some other sims… The images here are with Carenado’s Cessna 210, and FPS can drop to as low as 18-20, but I found it usually within the 25-30 range. Here are some shots of TNCM, and I had set my target FPS to 30. In the near future I will take more screenshots that really show more detail. Keep in mind this is a first look, and these are images taken while I was exploring this scenery for the first time.
Barts and Saba, but why not pay a little more and get all three while you’re at it!?! Below are a couple images of TNCM. Maarten (TNCM) is the biggest airport in this series and can be purchased alone without St.
Each of these airports is very challenging in a different way, and there’s nothing more fun in a flight sim than executing a tough approach! What appeals to me the most are the difficult approaches at airports.
