The Big Bend is part of the Trans-Pecos region in southwestern Texas, United States along the border with Mexico, north of the prominent bend in the Rio Grande for which the region is named. Here the Rio Grande passes between the Chisos Mountains in Texas and the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico as it changes from running east-southeast to north-northeast. The region covers three counties: Presidio County to the west, Brewster County to the east, and Jeff Davis County to the north. The region is rugged, sparsely populated Chihuahua Desert, including the Chisos Mountains, Chinati Mountains, and the Davis Mountains. The region has well over 1 million acres (4,000 km2) of public lands, including Big Bend National Park (801,163 acres) and Big Bend Ranch State Park (300,000 acres), Black Gap Wildlife Management Area (103,000 acres),[3] Chinati Mountains State Natural Area (39,000 acres)[4] along the north side of the Rio Grande.

Field Note

Stock MSFS has no concept of hang gliding launches — no defined takeoffs, no landing zones, no site-specific winds. The atlas is our answer: every location is a real-world flying site with GPS-accurate launch, LZ coordinates, terrain, and wind conditions. Basic sites are auto-generated by the THGF Desktop App. Custom sites add hand-crafted scenery.

Tools

The atlas is built by the community. Pilots survey the sites, log the coordinates, and share the data — so every pilot who follows can fly somewhere new. These are the tools that make it possible.
