I wanted to discover Bolivia and to its 3rd highest airport at 13,323 Ft which counts so Groundspeed may be fast and high mountains

Anyway if your actually looking for a high airport it’s actually Qamdo Banda Around or ZUDC so I suggest you use air China or China southern

I’ve flown to El Alto (which literally means “the high” in English) as well. That last picture is gorgeous.

Well Done! Only thing missing is ICAO for Bogota and any other field Flow to include thr “3” highest?

This gets me thinking…
Could anybody tell me how extreme airport altitudes in Infinite Flight affect our take-off/ landing speed or other special parameters, or all are pretty much just the same regardless?

To the OP, thanks for a cool post!
Cheers!

It may slow down the takeoff and makes groundspeed landings faster

Are you guys serious? South America is probably the 2nd best continent in the world in terms of scenery and you say it’s boring?

@DanyyRude Why don’t you plan to fly in South America at all when we have global? It’s here for all of us to discover the whole planet Earth, not to just stick to one continent

Personally South America is my favourite place in fly in along with Africa and Asia and it’s way more interesting than doing generic USA flights 🤮

Idk that just really really baffles me…

I didn’t say I don’t like it, the West Coast with the Andes, and North around Bogota is really interesting, so is Eastern Brazil with São Paulo and Rio, but other than that it’s pretty flat and boring in the center of the continent. Just like the US, the Rockies and West are cool, and flying around Hawaii is always fun. But there’s nothing over Missouri, Kansas, etc…
