Post Your Inappropriate Landings

So like Mount Rushmore - they aren’t really there?

I tried to land on top of Mt. Rushmore - I did the slow flight, then stall so hopefully no taxi. Fell right through Washington’s head.

Seems like other 3d objects they’ve added, the collision box either doesn’t exist, or is different to the model. Uluru is another example.

Yep. @OrigBullethead and I have an almost weekly “inappropriate landings” session. We “landed” on Half Dome, and it was . . . a massive holograph. And landing on Aricebo (RIP) also triggered instant e-death, as did the Chinese version of the massive electro-telescope. Let me dig up the pics. . .
:cowboy_hat_face: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Edit: The update turned my streaming data off! It’s working perfectly…

Sadly the new update has removed the ground textures from my Rockfall scenery.

If anyone can think of any solutions I’m all ears! It’s not my settings, I just completed a flight around the nice and blue water mapped Bora Bora.
I’ve submitted a ticket to ZD to get this resolved, but I’m not holding my breath…

Also the new Carbon Cub has a slightly different folder structure. Expect the Bear Attack Cub/Carbon Cub liveries to be updated shortly…

That spillway bunghole at Lake Berryessa somewhere in CA. . .this wasn’t really a landing, but more of an attempt to dupe this vid:

SPLAT!

This “legit” strip in SA.

Uhhhhh. . .

First flight with my ole man. . .it was the funnest dad/son time we’ve been able to have in a long time! But. . .he ended up “landing” upside down on some unfortunate building near downtown Denver. My fault for forgetting to remind him to switch tanks. :shushing_face:

Uhhhh. . .not my landing. . .but still. . .this is LOL

Some beach near Miami. . .

This had to have been legal. . .

Can’t forget this episode at SCLD. Felt like something from @airforceproud95 :slight_smile:

“Shipwreck Cove”, some very sketchy airport in Venezuela I think.

Not a landing but @CuzDawg3 getting divine retribution for some of our prior sins. Struck by lightning en route to try to land at Arecibo.

Barringer Crater (“Meteor Crater”) in Arizona.

Can’t find the pics when we landing at Paro using only synthetic vision due to zero ceiling :wink:

Yes got it on the 3rd try! The damage from the prop after a could of nose overs on the last 2 attempts will buff out just fine… My photogrammy looks terrible… :cry:

Comparatively this was much easier!

No wonder this city looks so run down…

The cars keep driving up and down the buildings (red car), and planes keep landing on top of them!

@Parorng nice building roof landing near the London Eye ! What airplane is that ?

Today ended up at a fence again, ruddering off the runway in a storm in Arizona… I meet fences since the update…

Then looked around on the parking lot, another plane… heavy propellor… and a guard of some kind blocking its path :sunglasses: and calling his wife
