Landing on frozen lakes?

Featured Replies

Now, that we are in hard winter on the Northern hemisphere (actually not here in the Austrian Alpes) I'm wondering if we can land on snow on frozen lakes in the wilderness. I just tried it with the C172-skis version in the Whistler area in BC but it did not feel right. After the landing, skis and wheels were completely sunken in the snow/ice (?) and take off was impossible.

the ground handling on the frozen ice def needs work, tho not sure if it is an aircraft config issue or a base sim issue - maybe a bit of both. I've only done it on the Savage Gravel with the huge wheels and while landing and take off were bumpy it was possible without too much trouble
