FSX Death Valley Desert Strip Scenery

Death Valley Desert Strip (L51) brings a characterful desert airfield to FSX, built around low-level test flying and now presented as a rugged retreat. Expect a distinctive runway setting with surrounding desert detail, plus touches that nod to its racing, filming, and experimental aviation backstory for immersive VFR hops.

Death Valley Desert Strip (L51) was constructed as a location to test the Aeroworks ARX-6 Reno racer at low altitudes. This place even sports the world's lowest Formula 1 race course! But now that the ARX6 has been released, this facility has been converted to a desert retreat. It's still used occasionally as a test facility for other things and as a filming location. Scenery by Joshua B. Nyhus and Jason L. Terry.
