• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Need Ideas for Challenging Flights

I don't know if ORBX PNW has re-created the area in detail, but might I suggest trying your hand with some of the Idaho backcountry strips like Mile Hi, Salmon Arm, Johnson Creek and similar ones like that?
According to the Backcountry/ Off Airport Community, the Idaho Wilderness is one of the most popular areas in the US to fly, and some of the best environments to learn Backcountry flying.
Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) trains quite a few 'prospective' Pilots by using these strips; they fly Kodiaks and C-206's onto (into?) them on a regular basis.
Quite a bit different than your typical Q400 or ERJ regional hop...
Hope this helps!

I'm actually working on Johnson Creek right now. Photoreal ground texture, custom buildings and so on. Might be completed this weekend if I can get enough reference material. The only Salmon Arm listed in the airports section is in Quebec I think. . .none listed for Idaho. . .unless it's one they forgot about.
