I do not have any issue with the Kabul-West approach with the C-17. It just happened again with the MAM C-17A. The altitude for the approach to this peak is set at 8000, the peak is under 7000.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 10 ED Team Posted March 10 Hi, it looks like a weight / high altitude airfield issue, if the aircraft is set to 30% fuel there is no issue. Altitude of airport is 1,791 m (5,876 ft) so its weight needs to be considered carefully. Kabul_CFIT-30percent of fuel OK.trk Kabul_CFIT-50percent of fuel crash.trk Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

If the aircraft is able to maintain cruise altitude at high gross weights, it should sure be able to perform a descent with a suitable descent rate to clear terrain on approach to the airport, as the engine and lift performance required for that is less. If the CFIT end result is still weight-dependent it seems something else is off , like for example the AI using a fixed powersetting or speed for approach regardless of its current grossweight , which is unrealistic and not what human pilots do.
