Grass runway

There are plenty of grass runways. LSZP, for example.

Is there some grass runway in AFS Global ? I would want to try landing some plane on them

Barra beach airport

Hahnweide famous airshow field. Steer 120 degrees from Stuttgart Airport for 9 miles

In the old (good) texture Speck looked like a perforated concrete grid with grass growing through it. Does such a surface really exist?

A really interesting grass field is Compton Abbas north west from Bournmouth and due west of Southampton in Southern England. It is on the top of a hill with deep gullies or drop offs on the approach from the west. Getting your approach angle right is a bit more work.

Position is NDB Bournemouth BIA 339 Khz try 317 degrees from, Southampton VOR SAM 113.35 MHz follow 272 from, DME 31 nm. It is on the Nav page.

This landing took place in Biel, not Speck. I also corrected the title of the video, sorry for the mistake.

Farrenberg.

Oh, when Jan sees what you're doing with the Me262 on his well-kept grass runway on the Farrenberg.😂

Not so bad once the 262 got tricycle undercarriage. Slamming on the tail dragger 262’s brakes to get the tail up must have gouged holes in the grass surface at about the same place at every take off. The 262’s burnt grass tracks were noticed in the opposition’s early photo reconnaissance pictures as they saw their prototype Meteor jets doing the same.

I read in Adolf Galland's book that the early taildragger 262 had to take off by once braking a bit during takeoff to raise the tail section and accelerate better. And that the taildragger 262s really burned up the grass.

The PAPIs on basic fields that do not have them in real life spoils acquiring the skill required to judge any deviations from the ideal visual presentation of a runway during approaches.
Less is more. It would be nice to be able to remove or disable them in the sim.

All I can say is that on the other side of the gravel path there are 5-10m high trees. So he'd 100% crash from that position in real life.

True.
