Glide Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 For those who love canyon booming in their favourite jet, where are the deepest canyons. Caucasus has some good ones. Any absolute must fly routes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavagai Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Colorado river on both sides of Lake Mead is pretty good.

bfr Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Colorado river on both sides of Lake Mead is pretty good. Yup, the down-river side of that is definitely the most butt-clenching one and especially if you shoot under the bridge for entry at any decent speed. The one I fly the most probably is a long valley that runs down to a dam on the Caucasus map. Not particularly challenging (you can fly it at full beans in anything) but its pretty. There's some quite tight ones too on the Syria map that I stumbled into just flying about at low level to see the scenery but I doubt I can remember precisely where.

AeriaGloria Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 As far as I know the deepest canyon in Georgia is Dori Gorge south of Beslan right on the main road to Tblisi. It’s almost a mile deep in some parts, but it doesn’t look so impressive becuase of DCS maps having issues with soft vertical definition of cliffs and mountains. I wonder how it would look with the same cliff definition we get in the Channel or even Marianas 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.J.S Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The Colorado river on both sides of Lake Mead is pretty good. Yep, go under the bridge by the dam to start, i try to keep within 300AGL on the Radalt in the canyons above the river, and stay above 400KTS, following the sinuous turns of the river all the way. Go until the terrain starts to open out, then Immelman turn and do it back up to the dam, going under the bridge to exit. Good for if i have fuel to burn after anything i do on the NTTR map.

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Big thanks! In game, it should be some where around the red line, running east-west, and the river meets.

GatorJames Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hi, I'm James. I'm glad I found this topic, because this all I do these days. Air combat is stressful, tiresome and my neck hurts and we're not even pulling Gs. I love it like you, but when I want to unwind in the evening, it's a stripped down legacy Hornet with 30% fuel and ((cheter alert)), I turn fuel to unlimited and G effects off. The canyon effects have been greatly improved in the last few months, especially in The Caucasus. Valleys are canyons now, peaks are more defined. South of Beslan and Nalchick, east of Sochi as well. North of Las Vegas is Red Rock, those canyons are short and tight and finally Oman. Just like Beggars canyon. I hope to get this topic going again, get some videos because you know you've got some footage that deserves to be seen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
