Hmm.. well the pack will be called Journey To Alaska, so maybe they've somehow linked Hawaii to Alaska?

Yes linked with a Boeing 787 Honolulu to Anchorage ^^

Do those square miles count in the Aleutian Island chain? Imagine flying from Attu to Adak.. The thousands of smaller islands and ocean in between.

HelloSpecial teleport aerocache only available after gaining sufficient points.

Let's see if they're gonna pop in some bundled shi^H^H^H goodies (aircrafts) along with the Alaska pack.

Woohoo, bush flying in Alaska! I wonder what planes will be available with Alaska? Cessna Caravan? Aviat Husky? Great news as it's my birthday today. 48, how the frick did that happen?1.2 million square miles for Alaska it says. So that would be 1200 x 1000 miles, a decent chunk of land! Might need some bigger, faster planes. Hmmmmm.....

Here's the full quote from the link (the bold was by me):

“Microsoft Flight” (Microsoft Studios) – Available to download for free at www.MicrosoftFlight.com, “Microsoft Flight” is a new Windows PC game that lets players jump into the thrill of flight with no special hardware or past experience. This Spring, fans will be able to purchase the Journey to Alaska Pack, the second in a series of expansion packs for the game with over 1.2 million square miles of captivating scenery, additional missions and new aircraft."

Allright, so it´s Journey to Alaska. Hope this includes Dutch Harbor and Cold Bay :Praying:

Welcome to AVSIM Bryan. I hope you will find us a friendly bunch if somewhat erratic at times, and have as much fun and interesting as most of us do.Kind regards,

Thank you, Arwen - missed that part.It's good news, indeed.However, I got a feeling we'll be stuck with GA aircrafts for a while now. But it's going the right direction (initially, I've been on the "whats this arcade piece of ..." side).

I'm placing my bets on the PA-18 Piper Super Cub! The ultimate bush plane! :Peace:

Is it spring yet? Is it spring yet? Is is spring yet? Is it spring yet?

Alaska is 663,268 sq mites according to Wikipedia. Something not quite right perhaps.

Let me speculate wildly:Alaska has this nice area in the south-east that is extending it along the coast. With a lot of Canada north of it.Maybe MS has made a rectangular box into which ALL of Alaska fits and modeled it?From the Flight Credits:Incorporates GeoBase® Canadian DEM, Minister of Natural Resources Canada.

I wonder what the cost will be, I'm guessing somewhere in the region of $50-60. It's crucial MS get the pricing right or they risk killing their DLC market.Bryan.

I'm thinking $20-$30. Similar to Hawaii.

I am seeing a trend towards scenic areas obviously for DLC. Hawaii.. Alaska.. Maybe next is California or Washington State.. Or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here.

:Hypnotized: You can also read the statement to include all the MS Flight scenery at 1.2 millon Sq miles, not just the Journey to Alaska expansion. Heck maybe it is Hawaii and the MS version of the Victor airways and Jet airways to Alaska plus the Journey Pack and then it might reach the 1.2 Million Sq miles number. :Hypnotized: :Nerd:One thing is for sure, it is a long way from HI to AK when you are inverted.Ray
