PACIFIC ISLANDS SIMULATION - EXTREME BUSH TREKKER

Generally, like its predecessor Raw Grit: PNG Bushpilot, Extreme Bush Trekker is every bushpilots' playground. The only fundamental difference is that the developers concentrated mainly on creating high altitude airstrips ranging from 2,741ft to 11,515ft. Out of the total sixteen bush flying scenes there are only four which are either at or near sea-level, i.e., Madang (AYMD, Saidor (SDR), Long Island (LIS) and Kranket Islands (KKT). And, except for Madang (AYMD), Saidor (SDR) and Tauta (TAU) all thirteen airstrips are one-way takeoff and landing only.

Here's what the package specifically contains:

• 15 airstrips from near sea-level to high altitude (15ft-11,515ft msl) with very short to medium lengths. Except for 3, all are sloped invariably at 1.5 to 13 degrees.
• Combination of 8 seaplane docks and heliports including 1 helipad on cruiseliner. A mine exploration camp 1/4 mile south of Indagen (IGN) has a bamboo helipad sitting at the base of a waterfall at over 7,779ft. Another bamboo helipad sits higher up at 11,527ft at Lake Gwam (GWM) which serves the telecommunication relay station at 12,000ft.
• Hand-drawn river network and coastlines with white, tan and black sandy beaches.
• Customized vegetation typical of the region.
• Modern and traditional buildings such as primitive grass and coconut thatched dwellings (huts over the water, etc)
• Various animals (crows, white parrots, gulls, eagles, whales, dolphins, etc) with animation, including distinct sounds of nature from birds in the mountains to waves crashing ashore in the coastal region.
• Night light effects
• Maps with recommended routes and operations
• Airstrip Facilities Directory
• Animated sea and road traffic
• Rural road traffic slowed down to 60KMPH as in real-life unlike the default at 100KMPH.
• Very friendly frame rates (product built on a low-end system).

System-specific Requirements
Extreme Bush Trekker was developed on a low-end system for low to high-end computers, and was tested on both WinXP and Vista platforms with medium to high-end graphic cards. Specific requirements include:

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 10 (FSX)
• Windows XP (SP2, SP3), Windows VISTA
• Pentium IV 2.6 GHz (2GHz Duo2Core Intel or equivalent advised)
• 1 GB RAM and above
• 256 Mb DirectX 9 graphics card (512 Mb or higher recommended)
• Adobe Acrobat® Reader 6 minimal to read and print the manual.
• 150 MB of disk space

Recommended FSX Settings
Frame rates from scenery complexity and autogen settings were averaged at 28fps and above. This includes moving air/road/sea traffic sliders 40% or more to the right. Lower settings yielded much higher frames, but our recommendation is Dense to Extreme Dense for exceptional rates.
