Following the implementation of the new Sim Update, Microsoft launched a new time-limited landing challenge in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The challenge is set in one of the most dangerous airports in the world, asking players to land a Grand Caravan on the small runway of Chagual, Peru.

The airport is located in the middle of a deep canyon, demanding that pilots fly between the rocks and turn for the final approach at the very last moment, with the runway hidden behind a mountain during most of the process.

As usual, the reward is basically bragging rights, Users are scored on landing precision and softness and said scores inserted in a global leaderboard.

Can you butter this landing? See how I did below.

Recently, we published our massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, who provided a lot of new info about the present and future of the sim.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
