MSFS pilots looking for a test of their skills can take to the skies over Northern California with Orbx’s latest release, F62 Hayfork California. This scenery pack, developed by TAF Studio, focuses on Hayfork Airport and surrounding area, offering a unique blend of challenging bush strips and detailed scenery.
The star of the show for many will be the three bush landing strips. Hayfork Bally Lookout features a nail-biting 295-foot strip perched at a daunting 6,260 feet, demanding precision flying and STOL capable aircraft.
A slightly less intimidating option awaits a few miles east, with a 250-foot runway and cliffs for company. Don’t be fooled by the extra length, a perfect touchdown is still essential here. Thankfully, a more forgiving third strip sits nearby for those who prefer a smoother landing.
Hayfork isn’t just about white-knuckle approaches. TAF Studio has recreated Hayfork Airport with a functional hangar door and detailed the surrounding town with custom 3D buildings based on real-life structures. Lush custom trees and vegetation complete the immersion, making the entire environment come alive.
For a break from flying, there are some off-road opportunities nearby at the Mountain Valley Raceway, a dirt track perfect for testing your off-road vehicle‘s handling.
