Alpine Lake is one of my favorite sims, because it is just such a beautiful cyber world. I have used some non-float and amphibian planes before but it can be a real trick to get them launched without them crashing into the lake first!
So I decided to add a runway where all regular planes can take off and land. So far I have flown the PT-17, the Cessna 310, and the F-4 Phantom turbine from here. I admit landing the F-4 can be touchy. Also, if you turn up the wind it is a great runway to practice your crosswind technique.
Nothing fancy here, just a runway, a windsock, and the RV and trailer that got you there!
*UPDATE* June 2009:
I just had to do a full reinstall of Real Flight due to a new computer. I upgraded to G4.5 and am running version .450
This field does not work with version .450! The spawn point is under water.
