The Butter Crisis!

Official achievement authored by thunfischbaum | Uwe.

Norway had a big problem in 2011, the so-called butter crisis. But how could this happen? There are several reasons.

Firstly, there was heavy and prolonged rainfall in the summer of 2011. This meant that the cows grazed less. At the same time, the demand for butter increased. About 20% in October 2011 and another 30% in November. This meant that prices rose steadily. As foreign butter was subject to high tariffs, the crisis did not subside.

The crisis was eventually overcome by lowering import tariffs. The financial loss for Norwegian retailers was about NOK 43. ($=48m €=42m £=36m)

Your task is to "butter" (pun intended) your aircraft at a maximum of -100ft/m at Norway's most remote airport. This is Svalbard (Spitzbergen). Recommended Airports to start are Oslo (ENGM), Bergen (ENBR) or Tromsø (ENTC). Your flight needs to exceed 400nm in distance.

You can find Scenery for the airport here:

  • Xplane 11 [Freeware] - Xplane.org
  • P3D [Payware] - SimMarket
  • MSFS [Freeware] - Since Sim Update 5 this airport is handcrafted and looks amazing without any custom scenery!

⚠️ Information for X-Plane Users

The new Versions of X-Plane do NOT have Sceneries provided in the default installation of the simulator. You have to download extra scenery for the airport to appear. It is recommended to install Airport Scenery as well as Terrain and Mesh. Test before you try to complete the achievement!

Criteria

Depart from an airport of your choice, fly to and land at ENSB, your flight distance must be further than 400 NM. Your landing rate must not exceed 100 f/m.
