Parallel42 has announced the release of Bluffers Hill after seeing the popularity of Sharktooth Ridge. Bluffers Hill is located near Red Bluff, CA and is completely surrounded by bluffs and nearby sandbars. Parallel42 has used a 3D library of ground assets along with their own custom terraforming which overwrites the default MSFS terrain which in turn produces a better more realistic terrain for pilots.

Bluffers Hill dares pilots to attempt its challenging approach, dangerous sloped runway and no safe option for a go-around. This brings a challenge to even the best pilots out there. Bluffers Hill is suited best to STOL aircraft and any bush planes you have in your hangar.

Included is a whole host of features which really bring this area to life when you fly here.
