In the wild border region between Alaska and Canada roads are rare and the weather can make transport by ship and truck an adventures affair. So a lot of goods are transported by aircraft to the small strips that are about as common as a car park in downtown Chicago. The pilots who fly there tend to use older aircraft that are mechanically simple and easy to maintain and are sturdy and highly reliable. They rank amongst the best pilots in the world as they fly on the smallest strips, with very little navigational aids and in the worlds worst weather. They call themselves Freight Dogs.
Freight Dogs do not need a 300 feet wide runway, with lighting, ILS, VASI and approach maps. A strip of flattened bush and they'll land there. In fact, a Freight Dog who landed at a major airport told his friends back home it was a very short but INCREDIBLY wide runway. To bring the cargo into the airfields of Freight Dogs in good weather you need to be a good navigator and an even better pilot. When you do the same in more normal, meaning lousy, weather you will find that you really need to know what you are doing. The six small airports (three in Alaska and three in Canada BC) are all so close together that your flights will be relatively short. There are two tarmac runways, two gravel runways and two seaplane bases and you will find that each of them has special difficulties. Most are hard to approach when the wind is not favorable because of high terrain and all are hard to find. Created by Bill Womack this is scenery that is very fast, very detailed and always very special. The screenshots speak for themselves.
Great care has been taken to make the scenery compatible with other addons for the region and you will find that it merges seamlessly with addons as Misty Fjords.
Please note that customers in the US and Canada, will be soon able to order the boxed version directly from our North America offices, saving a lot on shipping!

What can i say? this is definatly worth the money, especially if you enjoy bush flying. Even if you dont, i feel that this product will fit well into any simmers collection. The sea plane bases make for great water landings and really make you feel your out in the wilderness. The bigger airfield, Wrangell has an ILS beacon and a medium runway with Air Alalaska and Fed Ex buildings as well as other hangers, storage buildings ect. This airport is what makes this package appealing to the simmer who likes to fly bigger aircraft. I see Wrangell as the 'hub' of the package. The large aircraft land at Wrangell, delivering cargo and passengers/tourists to the small terminal and storage facilities. Then the bush pilots fly off from Wrangell to the smaller fields, which are all within a reasonable distance and all have truly beutiful scenery en route to them and around them (be sure to check the HUGE steep mountains to either side of Stewart!). All this airfields are wonderfully detailed make you feel like your there. All in all i think this is a great buy, it wont disapoint. |

Perfect little airstrips and bases for the bush pilot in you! Aerosoft has gone above and beyond in its attention to little details that really bring your imagination to life while enjoying the simming world. Its great to see some developers adding something other than heavy jets and large airports from time to time and Aerosoft has nailed it with this add-on. Wonderful!! |
