Looking for a new bush experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator? Just like in old times, Orbx has you covered with a recently released scenery package centered around 054 Weaverville Airport, offering not just one but multiple landing locations in the scenic Trinity Alps region of California.

Weaverville, a charming historical gold rush town, serves as the focal point of this package. Located at the base of the majestic Trinity Alps, just 16 nautical miles northeast of Hayfork Airport, this new scenery package for MSFS promises to be a feast for simmers!

This new release from Orbx stands out by providing a variety of flying experiences within a single package:

  1. 054 Weaverville Airport: The centerpiece of the package, this picturesque airport features an uphill runway and two interactive hangars controlled by aircraft lights.
  2. Small Bush Strip: Located west of the main Weaverville Airport, this strip offers a more rugged landing experience.
  3. Dedicated Helipad: Also situated west of Weaverville Airport, perfect for rotorcraft enthusiasts.
  4. Weaver Bally Lookout: An extreme challenge for pilots, this separate airstrip offers a daunting 11° uphill runway, designed to test you STOL skills.
  5. Summerville Airstrip: Located 22 nautical miles north of Weaverville, this serene bush strip is nestled deep in a Trinity Alps valley, offering a tranquil yet challenging flying destination.

  • Five distinct landing locations, each offering unique challenges
  • Custom vegetation for enhanced realism across all sites
  • 4×4 off-road area for ground exploration
  • Three functional hangar doors at Weaverville Airport
