//42 releases 42CM Cedar Mountain, a new backcountry strip in Utah

//42 continues its prolific run of new releases for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Just two weeks since the Halloween-themed 42CL Camp Crystal Lake, the studio is now out with a new backcountry strip in Utah, 42CM Cedar Mountain. It’s not too far from the previously-released 42MX Mexican Mountain!
//42 has been making very immersive sceneries for a while, and this new one should be no exception. Sitting at an elevated point in Cedar Mountain, 42CM is longer than the usual STOL strip, with a gravel runway about 2,000 ft long. At more than 7,500 feet high and with a 1,500 ft drop at the south end of the runway, Cedar Mountain demands careful planning and precise execution from pilots who venture into these premises.
Cedar Mountain can accommodate larger aircraft than the typical STOL aircraft used by adventuring pilots in the region. Coupled with plenty of space to play around with //42’s Campout, simmers should have plenty of cool opportunities to experience this remote location with a variety of aircraft!
42CM Cedar Mountain is available now through Orbx, priced at just around $8.00. A release on the Marketplace is expected soon for both PC and Xbox users.
