The rattlesnake peak turn was fun but noticed on departure if you lost the DME where you start the turn if you lost an engine in the sim you were on your own. We had an approach in there one morning and only the NDB worked. We followed United and they didn't clear the runway so went around asking do we follow the NDB missed approach procedure which was a left turn back to the north. They said yes so we started our turn and the controller said hold your heading, which was right at a mountain and when I asked what heading they disregarded and did the published missed to avoid terrain. Sometimes controllers forget about mountains and just think about midairs in a panick situation. I loved flying there but you had to pay attention.
