Great fun! xxd09 When I was still flying helicopters in the RW back in the late 1980s i used to service fire towers in Alberta. This was with an AStar (AS350B). The tower people looked to have a real nice job to spend the summer fire season. Also, a great job if you were just tired on life, people and general BS. The job appeared to attract people from a wide spectrum of life. Some interesting and some less so. I look forward to coming across this scenery add-on.

I'm typing from a remote jungle home in Indonesia which I live in half of the year (in 2 month stretches) which serves as a circuit breaker from western hyper BS. I like being able to transition between both worlds - perhaps I could have just taken a job living at a fire tower! Edited May 15, 20242 yr by mfahey Typo Fix

May 16, 20242 yr If anyone has picked this up already, just curious if you can choose these from the start menu with a helicopter. Is it a cold and dark start or is the engine running (preferred). And do the locations show up on Little Navmap. Thanks for any info...

May 20, 20242 yr Oh fire lookouts only accessible by plane - my dream life!! Look at these screenshots and imagine living in that nature paradise. Thank you very much for telling us about this interesting addon. OrbX is always best for sceneries. Edited May 20, 20242 yr by JetCat
May 26, 20242 yr Author As I only possess the Standard edition of MSFS 2020 the Zlin Shock Ultra is not available to me However the Smaug STOL aircraft (freeware at Flightsim.to) is an acceptable substitute and enables landings at these difficult and challenging airstrips xxd09
