FSX Bangda Tibet Scenery

Qamdo Bangda Airport (ZUBD/BPX) brings Tibet’s legendary high-altitude airfield to FSX with a new terminal, accurate placement, and realistic 4,334-metre field elevation. The scenery models the 5,500-metre runway and thin-air operating environment, helping flights capture the demanding takeoff and landing performance that defines Bangda.

Scenery Bangda Tibet. Adds whole new airport with terminal and realistic altitude. By Nicholas Cole.

Qamdo Bangda Airport (IATA: BPX, ICAO: ZUBD) located in Bangda, Qamdo, Tibet, is the highest airport in the world, at an elevation of 4,334 metres (14,219 ft). Runway 14/32 is the longest publicly used runway in the world, at 5,500 m (18,045 ft) (or 3.42 miles).The low air density at this altitude makes a higher takeoff and landing true airspeed necessary, and therefore a longer runway.

The airport is 2.5 hours by mountain road from the county seat of Chamdu/Changdu/Qamdo. The long commute is the result of no flat land closer to the city being available to construct an airport.

Visitors are warned before landing to move slowly on leaving the plane and that they may feel light headed or dizzy because of the thin air.

However, Bangda will surrender its title of being the highest airport in the world. China is planning to build one at Nagqu at an elevation of 4,436 metres (14,500 ft). The construction is planned to start in 2011 and take three years to complete.

Installation:
1. Copy the BGL file to your main Flight Simulator Directory.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
