Flying in Alaska

Featured Replies

Good evening all,

 

I usually fly jetliners in Europe mainly, sometimes in North America and Asia..I now want to do some General Aviation flying around Alaska..

 

Because i now am going to fly a lot lower than with the jets, i would like to know which freeware and payware add ons there are to enhance the flying in Alaska..I don`t exactely know the difference between terrain and mesh, so if anyone would like to fill me in a bit i would appreciate it..

 

Thanks..

Payware:

Misty Fjords: http://secure.simmarket.com/fsaddon-misty-fjords.phtml

Tongass Fjords: http://secure.simmarket.com/fsaddon-tongass-fjords.phtml

 

Freeware:

Glacier Bay: Search for Holger Sandmann and/or Glacier Bay here in the Avsim library

 

All three sceneries are from the same guy(s), of whom at least one is now working at Orbx. Hence those sceneries are top notch.

(If you install UT you cannot use the raw version of Glacier Bay, but Holger provided another file for that: ut_bc_hs.zip)

Also have a look at this website: http://www.mistymoorings.com/index.php They provide scenery enhancements for Misty Fjords I believe (haven't tried it myself though)

Sure you can, just check the UT box in the GB configurator.

Thanks all, look forward to buying some add ons to enhance the Alaska experience.

 

I would also like to buy a nice GA plane to discover Alaska, any recommendations? 

Aerosoft Twin Otter is genius.

 

Go get it. Comes with tundra and floats.

 

Awesome aircraft.
