One of the most challenging and rewarding landing STOL strips at 4500 feet you will try, I made this for myself but I enjoyed it so much and I've decided to share it with the community. Welcome to the Eagle Peak STOL Airport, resorts, and restaurants. Just minutes by car from MT. Washington State Park, a half an hour from North Conway, the airport is a challenge to land and only experienced pilots should try.
Get ready to land on runway 12 (unmarked) and touch down on the ground on the red "land" sign or risk losing your landing gear! The runway is 400m long and slopes up to 30 degrees inclination after the initial landing zone, just keep enough speed to get to the top and then be prepared to stop.
The Aiport offers 7 spots for you and your friends along with a very exciting "roller coaster" departure (make sure you have full power before letting off of your brakes or you will hit the sand patch at the end (beats crashing the trees below). Enjoy a very beautiful approach through the mountains on your way to land, but keep your chill, as I said, this runway is reserved for masters only.
For an extra bit of challenge, fly at night, rain or snow, and let me know how you go.
I've also added a cool helipad (parking 12) so you can try your mountain top landing and take off.
Good for Role Playing if you are into that.
Note: I only used assets from the base game. If you see any issues please let me know I will try my best to fix them. In the future, I will see about adding AI ATC to it and AI Traffic
Also, I spent a couple of days working on this project so don't upload anywhere else, if you had a blast using this scenery and would like to tip me (toward my PP classes) I would appreciate it, not necessary since this mod is absolutely free though.
Enjoy.

If you want to see the people around, make sure you also install the awesome mod Dave's 3d people. Here is the link: https://flightsim.to/file/5452/dave-s-3d-people-library

Will this work with Sim Update 9? I'm not brave enough to try my STOL skills but I'd love to try my VTOL skills on that helipad with the H145!

IT should work fine. If you run into any issues let me know! Check out MT Washington nearby, I've also added a landing pad there :D

This is crazy amazing!! I've been flying in and out of this airport the entire morning in a Savage Cub! Now the only thing that I cant figure..... Is this a totally fake airport? I have found a ridge line that looks similar in google maps, but no dice on an actual physical location. If its not real, then your plans have been approved by the virtual zoning commission!! Go make it PLEASE!!

I don't think we will ever see something like this in real life unless it is a new attraction at Universal Studios lol

Great mod! Love to fly air taxi flights from Portland. Only issue is that the UNICOM freq is the same as the ATIS for another airport in range

How can I change that? I will try to look into it. Learning as we go!

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing this fun project. Any chance you can make the helipad 'solid' and a starting point so we can spawn there? Also, scattering some 3d people around would likely give the place some life. Has a bit of a deserted feeling to it, like the Overlook hotel. Was expecting Jack to come busting through the door with an axe 😊

Thanks and glad you have fun with it! I will definitely give another pass and improve this project later this weekend. I agree with you. It needs more life. For next update I will add the Dave's 3D people to it and link the mod in the comments and also add the functioning Heli pad

This scenery as a premise for a TV sitcom: a Dr. Evil type supervillain is having trouble keeping up with the mortgage on his secret mountain lair, and so hatches a misguided plan to develop the land into timeshares, ultimately becoming a bumbling resort proprietor who each week is consumed by petty squabbles with a rotating cast of vacationing clientelle (who are inevitably wealthier and more influential than our supervillain, leading to no end of zany hijinks) to the perpetual detriment of his ambitions for global domination.
Hmmm... Dread and Breakfast? Doom's Available? Whatever, it's early days... studio executives, you know where to find me.
