Çatalca Tunnels Challenge, Turkey Dario Costa Red Bull World Record Flight
Updated 22 Jan 2023
The last Sim Update caused conflictions with the way the sim handles collisions. This means that you were no longer able to fly through the tunnels, or spawn in correctly to the starting points. The only way I could resolve this was to remove all the collisions from inside the tunnels, this reduces the immersion and challenge but now you can at least fly through the tunnels once again. If there is a solution to this in future Sim Updates then I will be able to reintroduce the collisions to the tunnel walls.
Here is my recreation of Çatalca Tunnels which are located in Turkey. ICAO Code: C4TA
It is the site in which Dario Costa completed a World Record by being the first to takeoff and fly through a tunnel on 4th September 2021. Nobody had ever flown an aeroplane through a tunnel until Italy's Dario Costa sped through two tunnels near Istanbul at average speeds of 245kph
WARNING: This tunnel scenery may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
I have pushed the SDK to it's limits with this build. The ability to tunnel through existing terrain is just not possible at this time so I have had to think outside the box on a number of occasions.
I am aware of some minor glitching that can occur when going from one end of the scenery to the other. I have carefully created a balance between how the scenery looks, and how it reactes to the MSFS game logic. Other factors that maybe experienced are:
- In Slew mode you will be placed on the roof of the tunnel, but then you will spawn on the road after exiting slew mode
- Multiplayer aircraft may dissapear when entering the tunnel, however the name tag will still appear.
- Entering the tunnel at very high speeds (jet aircraft) may result in being placed straight on the ground
I have created 2 starting points at a fictitious Airport with ICAO Code of C4TA. I have also added night lighting so this can be attempted day & night.
A placard of Dario's Guinness World Record certificate has been placed at the starting position.
- Runway 01 will start you at the same position as Dario Costa when he set off on his World Record attempt.
- Runway 02 will start you in the opposite tunnel but exactly adjacent to the other tunnel, this enables you to have a race with another player.
There may well be some surprises in the second tunnel to look out for! Keep an eye on the gantry signage!

One of my favourites. On the other hand with the SU11 there is an elevation problem. I don't start in the tunnel anymore. It starts on top of it instead. Could you please fix the issue?

Scenery need fix, roads entering the tunnel are not even, when taxing in the road the aircraftn tip over, road signs some a floating in the air, red warning cones floating in air...
