I haven't installed it yet but just finished reading the manual. Quite detailed. Placed a lot of good information in there for the simmer. You can tell Holger is a pro when it comes to such stuff.Looking forward to getting my feet covered in snow!ClutchProject 9 Dragons

Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)  Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11),  EVGA 1300W PSU
Netgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displays
Full array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

It's one thing to create a highly detailed and accurate airport, but Holger takes thousands of acres and sprinkles his wizardly magic over all of it, to create a totally new atmosphere. Just a ton of thanks for all the work and effort to Holger and team. Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like -M.Twain

It is really great work. I've been flying around now for about 3 hours. Very nice indeed!!

You guys beat me to the post about Holger's latest gift to us all. Onc word of advice to anyone who has not yet used any of his sceneries. Follow his pre installation instructions to the letter. it's easy enough and precise. Then let the rest of the auto install take care of itself. For those of you who hate exe file installs, holger gives you the option of picking a directory outside of the fs environment. otherwise it defaults to a folder in fs9addon. I've spent the last hour or so, when I should have gone to bed, doing some exploring. well worth the time. and, holger, if you and your team are reading this....thanks again for a job well done and a great contribtuion to our hobby!Sherm

Wow! This looks like a Five-Star scenery package.Thanks for the great flight enhancements. :-beerchug There's no flying like buch flying.

Thanks here for the 'heads up' as well. I'm downloading it right now...Looks to be great stuff, and indeed, Holger is one of the best, and awful gracious to provide this to the community.Just so happens that I am 'parked' in Alaska right now, doing my yearly Alaskan tour. Looks like that tour could get expanded ;)

Hi Andrew,from the file info: "Glacier Bay v2 is fully compatible with other third-party add-ons, including terrain mesh (FSGlobal, FS Genesis, etc.), ground textures (Ground Environment, BEV, FScene, etc.), and landscape enhancements (Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska, Misty Fjords, Tongass Fjords, Freight Dogs)."Cheers, Holger

edit : Holger beat me to it!! It is seamless with UT alaska, It overrides your ground environment stuff in the coverage area, but it's unlikely that you'll miss it, since it has great textures of its own. you can't to the best of my knowledge use the weather dependent textures in GB, though. the coverage area has its own 38m mesh as well, there are instructions in the manual about how to place the scenery entries for FSG so it doesn't conflict.I have all three as well, and it works perfectly for me!!

Hi guys,thanks all for the kind words - much appreciated!I'd like to emphasize though that Glacier Bay isn't "Holger's gift", it's a gift from nine FS developers working as a team. In fact, more than 70 people were involved in making and testing this project. So, I'm thanking my producer, my Great Grandfather, the board of.... :-outta Cheers, HolgerP.S.: Oops, I can't even get into the AVSIM file library anymore, hope we didn't do any damage!
