Hello aviators!
As the nearing winter brought cooler weather, I knew we had to make our way back to Utah for the next release. Located about 15 mins from Mexican Mountain, you’ll find a beautiful high-elevation strip atop Cedar Mountain. This is a popular spot for flyers in the area and can be seen in many YouTube adventures.
This is the first scene by a newer team member working alongside one of our master artists. We needed to embrace the vibes of a remote area by showcasing natural beauty, and I feel we have delivered an incredible addition to any simulator. No matter where you look, you will find magic moments. Cedar Mountain can host larger aircraft, and ample parking and camps exist. Depending on the season, you might arrive at a beautiful landscape that looks painted on with a brush of winter.
Our scenes are challenging strips with immaculate vibes; whether it feels remote or cozy will depend on each scene. They are also perfect places to play with //42 Campout as they were designed with plenty of plane camping space.
42CM Cedar Mountain
Located in Cedar City, Utah, about 15 miles from 42MX Mexican Mountain, this destination is on a plot of BLM land frequented by backcountry pilots.
Cedar Mountain is a decent-sized airstrip that can accept non-STOL GA aircraft. The strip rests at 7538ft atop the similarly named Cedar Mountain and has a terrifying 1500ft vertical drop at the South end. This site provides panoramic views of the Wasatch Plateau and the La Sal Mountains. Altitude is a factor, so plan your aircraft and arrival accordingly.
