Edit: I believe the airport in the vid is Buoachs (LSZC) in Stans, Switzerland. They landed in Saanen (LSGK) and that was one impressive flight. I've been to Switz once, the depth of the valleys is even more impressive in person.

July 13, 20241 yr Working Title are literally building the Primus Epic 2 Avionics - and this is used in the PC-24. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

I was wondering about the airport where they had to cross a public road and a traffic light to get to the runway. impressive is an understatement. I've been there several times. In one trip, we were part of a group tour and while visiting a village there was an avalanche which prevented our bus from exiting the valley. We ended up being picked up by a Swiss military heli to another bus on the other side of the avalanche. A tourist couple were trapped in the village too but the heli asked them for at least U$5,000 (this was back in early 2000) to lift the car rental out of the valley. People were wondering what they'd do if they found themselves in the same situation. Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.

July 13, 20241 yr There will be also another PC-24 with Epic Avionics for 2025 or someday: http://www.sgier.com/
July 13, 20241 yr Climate change is making the weather more extreme. Switzerland has had major floods and landslides in recent weeks.
July 13, 20241 yr The Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (RFDS) operate a fleet of PC-24 aircraft to supplement their PC-12 aircraft. They look like they are good for challenging conditions and tasking for longer distances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0aQtBTNxWg Here is a realtime map of their Operations https://www.flyingdoctor.org.au/map/ Edited July 13, 20241 yr by JustanotherPilot YBCG
July 13, 20241 yr Funny that I just bought Buochs LSZC from Stealthy Duck. Going to do a flight right now with my PC-21, fits right in 😄 Iris is doing the PC-24, to be released for FS2024.
July 13, 20241 yr flying over Toblerone country. this video was a preview of new MSFS 2024 scenery technology. 🤣 so glad no one other but workingtitle are doing the avionics so the plane designers can concentrate on 3D design and some flight model parameters.

I was wondering about the airport where they had to cross a public road and a traffic light to get to the runway. This is an extremely scenic airport. 3/4 of the approach pattern is over lake Lucerne in a Fjord-like landscape, circling around the Bürgenstock where recently the Ukraine peace conference was held. Turning onto final for RWY24 over the eastern ridge of Bürgenstock, which falls into the lake almost vertically on both sides, is very impressive even in MSFS. I recommend flying there in VR, so you "feel" the height of the surrounding terrain. To the south of the airport there is the Buochserhorn (Mount Buochs), a tall mountain which was used by the Pilatus test pilot Rolf Böhm in the 1960s to perform a stunning stunt flight to demonstrate the Turbo Porter's faboulous climb performance by taking off from the taxiway that directly pointed south to Mount Buochs, and then climbing the steep northern wall of the mountain straight up to the peak. You can try that flight with the default PC-6, it works! I also like this video from Buochs:
