FSX MHTG Toncontin AFCADs/Scenery anyone ?

[Guest JacobKoziarz]

Does anyone have any personal modifications to MHTG for FSX not shared on AVSIM etc. ? I love that rwy 19 manual approach in my PMDG 747-400X with that default office tower right in front of the rwy. I just wish there was UTX/GEX quality mods for that. Anyone ?Thanks. Jacob.

It's AFCAD, landclass, and some vector scenery (roads, lakes, etc.) of Tegucigalpa all for FSX.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT

Have you sent it yet ? I just want to make sure that it wasn't rejected...

[Mace 1,902]

No, I haven't sent it yet. :) You caught me on a weekend, and I didn't mess FS this weekend. I will send it to you all, but I need to package it up and so forth. It's laying on my hard drive in several parts right now.At present, it has:-- all major highways w/traffic, etc.-- added two lakes, one of which is used as a landmark for the famous circling approach to runway 1-- added a cemetary, which is ALSO a landmark for the famous circling approach to runway 1-- added a marker for a steel shed, which is yet another landmark for the famous circling approach to runway 1 (didn't put in the shed yet though)-- redid the landclass/waterclass in the immediate area to match sat photos-- updated MHTG to 2008 spec (two new jetways)-- all aprons, etc. at their exact locations-- included some mil parking at the mil base.-- seasons bgl to green up winterWhat it does not have-- ;)-- no buildings at the airport-- stock buildings eliminated to make room for gmax structures-- gmax buildings not doneRhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT

I love that video !!! Seen it before many times and everytime is awesome.I don't know what's better - this or Kai Tak. I've been trying to make a perfect approach in perfect weather to either rwy and man - I suck. Here's a question thou - do they land on rwy 19 (20) at all ? In default FSX scenery you have that bldg right in front of the rwy 19(20) - going just above it and still hitting the rwy is awesome. Thanks again for all your hard work !!! I can't wait to try it...And since we're on the subject of mods - I have put together Pinal Air Park KMZJ with over 100 parking spots + AI planes - it's a feast landing there with all those planes !!!Here are vids...http://youtube.com/watch?v=koA5qOETrX8http://youtube.com/watch?v=nXdo77Ykh08

I just sent you guys the file...Toncontin blows away Kai Tak :) if you ask me.At least Kai Tak has a longer runway, too.>I've been trying>to make a perfect approach in perfect weather to either rwy>and man - I suck.

Rwy 19 is also a circling approach but it happens so rarely due to prevailing tropical winds, that I have always used the Rwy01 approach.Don't be discouraged, you can land up to a 757-size aircraft there, but any larger and you're really pushing it.See the readme in my zip file, to help you with the Rwy01 approach landmarks.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT

There was an interesting thread on pprune about TGU after the recent TACA Airbus crash. One poster was a retired AA pilot with almost 600 B757 landings at TGU who gave his company procedures for landing on 2 and 20. scott s..

[Guest JacobKoziarz]

This is it. Why such a complicated circling approach. A dumb question at this point - but still curious. To stay visual with the airport ?

[Mace 1,902]

Because there are mountains in the way of both ends of the runway. You can't do a straight-in approach there except in a small aircraft. If you have higher-res mesh installed, you will see what I'm talking about.Try a straight-in approach in a 737 there. Your descent rate will be like 3000 fpm and that's not valid ops for those. Plus your terrain clearance over Cerro Hule will be unacceptable. PAPI/VASI slope is something like 5.5 degrees!Toncontin is so dangerous, it's closed at night except to light aircraft. That's why I say, it's more difficult than Kai Tak. At least Kai Tak was open at night.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT
