Death Valley in Flight Simulator is.... DEADLY

Featured Replies

So decided to try some high temp off field landings the other day and found an interesting bug in the Death Valley area. Lets just say that it is deadly if you are not expecting it. Not sure what is causing it but it was quite surprising. It may be best to just show you, check this out and give it a try for yourself, and let me know what you think!

 

This clearly should be reported on Zendesk..

HiFlyer thats kinda how it felt when I first hit the "ground". Haha, funny thing is, when DCS released their Nevada map, a similar thing happened in Death Valley. 

The amount of bugs in this sim are insane... it is shocking in 2020 something could be released that is so poor. It looks great we all say, me included. But man there are problems. Currently every session it crashes to desktop. Fun fun.

Something is wrong with your system then. I've had one crash and it was in the menu. 

ASUS Prime Z490-A / i7-10700K / RTX 4080 / G.SKILL Ripjaws 32GB / Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic case 

not one crash here, and flown many many hours already.

Was wondering about the Dead Sea as well, have you tried landing above sea level and taxiing under like in Death valley?

Make a « Dead Sea » search will bring you more.  Apparently, this was reported during the alpha...

Ahh thank you for the clarification, I had a feeling I wasn't the first person to find this out. It is interesting how, for what ever reason, there is an "exclusion" of the bug around Furnace Creek airport.

It’s likely an engine limitation, same happens in any elevation below 0
