Love Alaska too

Recommended Posts

As I was happily surprised with the graphic quality of Hawaii, I discover that Alaska has it owns beautiful places. As it is a huge country, one has to search for them, but that's just the fun.

 

Also the details of various objects are well made by the MStudio-team employees.

Some examples are shown by other members, here some of me ...

Where are those taken? I've been out in the bush rather than hanging around the towns. :p0503:

I'm thinking that might be Ketchikan. Seward is pretty awesome as well when you first find it after going through some great looking mountain passes.

I flew some passengers from my base at Homer into Lawing last night. I'm hoping to find a charter to Seward from there, today, before heading back to Homer.

 

If you like the Kenai passes, head across Cook Inlet to try Merrill and Lake Clark Passes.

You're right Zinfinion. Ketchikan Intl (PAKT), south-west on the Map. And Indeed the mountains are great as well.

That boat looks awfully like the boats moored up near Miami, Florida in FSX... Not that I have a problem with using well made art assets, it looks really good in Flight too.

 

Cheers,

They had to be redesigned. The old fsx boat objects never reacted well to shadowing.

There's some pretty interesting detailed scenery in Kodiak -- container ship; Coast Guard cutters; stop signs; folding chair & butt can outside one building; push broom leaning against a wall. Half the aircraft don't have cockpits, but at least the recycling bins look good. :Waiting:

I downloaded Alaska today, and almost immediately felt lost. Man, is it big.

 

Spent a good deal of time violating Russian airspace this evening. It's spooky over there, all pea-soupy. I landed at the Lavrentiya NDB and walked around. I'd post a picture of that, but can't figure out how.

 

Later, I went looking for the Northern Lights, but nope - maybe in a future DLC.

There are some nice looking ships and boats at Seward, too. I made a stop there last night.

Visited both Seward and Ketchikan when I was in Alaska on vacation. Both really nice looking places to see.
