Fun Facts
The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe,[b][2] and stretch approximately 1,200 km (750 mi) across eight Alpine countries (from west to east): France, Switzerland, Monaco, Italy, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Slovenia.
The Alpine arch generally extends from Nice on the western Mediterranean to Trieste on the Adriatic and Vienna at the beginning of the Pannonian basin. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided.
Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4,809 m (15,778 ft) is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4,000 m (13,000 ft).
Mod Facts:
This is a collection of altiports and altisurfaces in the Alps, beginning with Haute-Savoie and Savoie.
Most of the time they are simple, short and ephemeral runways.
They are presented as "airports" although they do not have valid ICAO, but a code that is not compatible with MSFS2020 syntax.
So they will be displayed on the map but they will not be available through search or teleport.
Currently included in the pack :
- AG1481 Glacier De La Chiaupe
- LF7329 Altiports les Vaugellas
