Totally right. I tried the challenge so many times, but had to give up getting a good score. Could not get the plane to land straight, it was always leaning hard to the right after the turn which I couldn't fix using the rudders either. The more I tried the harder it became. In the beginning I at least landed, but trying to land near the right spot caused me to end up near the water on the right side every single time. I know it's my first flight sim, but still.
Took me about 2 dozen tries (if I had to guess) to get 1 million plus. 1 mil plus is my goal on all the challenges. I tried a couple of different approaches. Straight on over the top and down the mountain just doest work. Even full flaps and hard side slip doesnt seem to bleed off enough speed before overshooting the landing point. What worked for me from a successful clean landing to improving my score turns out to be exactly what he seems to do in this video. Full flaps, then turn onto base leg. Once on base leg, full left rudder side slip across the tree tops on the mountain under 500 feet (ASL). Then cut throttle as you turn onto a very short final approach, continuing full left rudder to stay straight on the centerline in spite of the cross wind. Slip if you need to adjust your final to the right. You should be at a decent landing speed and touch down right on the marker. Then your issue is making a stable and straight rollout. In fact, kinda wish I'd watched this first, woulda saved me a lot of trouble.
@@hatman4818 I know right? Once I saw the video I was able to do much better. I don't know the first thing about aviation, who are the pilots who fly to these locations?
@@hatman4818 That's my long term goal as well. For now 700-800k is a good run for me in general. Serona was extremely easy, though, with my first and second runs both upping my PB at any challenge with 200k each.
I used to fly in there every day in a Cessna 207. I'd sooner have done it in a 206. It's 1800 feet long in an arc. Mountain on one end and a Church steeple and housing on the north end. The wind usually blows down the valley making your departure turn out over the bay downwind, listening to the stall warning buzzing constantly while you try to milk the flaps up and not go into that cold black water. Oh, and there's a 4 ft high sewage manhole in the middle of the north end of the runway that you need to avoid. The latest FAA info states that the south 1000 feet is permanently closed and soft sand and gravel with four inch rocks. Best to land in the winter when the runway is harder and semi frozen.
Welp, I was approaching this all wrong on MSFS. Thank you for this video! For all the world it looked like slipping hard down from over the hill was the best way to go about it and it was kinda working just leaving me way too long for a decent score when I had the room to stop or just as often had me doing an "emergency" go around.
Msfs gives the wrong instructions..they cay come in a 60 when this guy was at 90 at that points and all the speed is lost at the last second. When you do what this guy does it works.
Experts can make the impossible look real easy. This was such a fluent landing that to me, it appeared like parking your car onto the driveway. Edit: rewatched it again. Before final line up, he dives a bit down so that he literally 'drives onto the runway' with minimal/no vertical speed it seems! God knows I ended up in the water 9 times out of 10 trying to 'park on the driveway.'
This pilot is a living god to me after my 783rd attempt to land properly here on flight simulator

I had to watch the part where they touch downed multiple times, it was beautiful

That was impressive.
Watched this for the FS2020 challenge
amazing skill!
Fantastic
Wow that was nice.
45 degree flapps?
Steel balls - not bad landing ;)
How! Just how! :(
Someone should design them a new runway...
They have in the future but we have this to and on pireod
It's easier when those trees are smaller and shorter than in FS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 congratz, nice landing
This sim looks almost real now, but really you should turn off the HUD, HUD is so NOOB bro
Everyday beautiful landing to me. But you all think impossible
nice landing, awful music
