SirJ Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I just observed, that US-Tanker planes cannot takeoff on Beirut RWY 35 without crashing at the building at the end of the runway. (tried 10 planes, all scraped the building. In google earth this building looks like a 2 floor building at most. All the best edit: I reduced the fuel of the tanker to 95% and now they just clear the building by 10ft or so Edited March 27, 2021 by SirJ workaround provided 4
Aarnoman Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 This should probably be in the bugs and problems section. 1
shu77 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Interestingly, it looks like the end of 17 is sloped up and the freeway there is lower than the field, but I agree there isnt a building that high there per this video. This has previously been reported as a bug as that building gets in the way of the glidescope on a 17 arrival. : 5 Hornet, Super Carrier, Warthog & (II), Mustang, Spitfire, Albatross, Sabre, Combined Arms, FC3, Nevada, Gulf, Normandy, Syria AH-6J i9 10900K @ 5.0GHz, Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, Cooler Master ML120L, Gigabyte RTX3080 OC Gaming 10Gb, 64GB RAM, Reverb G2 @ 2480x2428, TM Warthog, Saitek pedals & throttle, DIY collective, TrackIR4, Cougar MFDs, vx3276-2k Combat Wombat's Airfield & Enroute Maps and Planning Tools

KKR75 Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Just as an FYI, being Lebanese living in Beirut I can chime in a few words here. Yes I do agree this needs to be fixed, but just as an FYI: 1. Over 95% of the takeoffs and landings happen from the north towards the south, due to prevailing winds. 2. RWY 17/35 is pretty much never used. 16/34 is used for landing (mainly 16), while 21/03 (mainly 21) is used for takeoffs. 2. When and >IF< prevailing winds are from the north, takeoffs only happen on RWY 34, while landings happen on 03. KKR75 1 6
