African Airstrip Adventures (AAA) is a cross over product that merges an advanced mission mode with high definition scenery. This addon will bring you closer to the fascination, the wildlife and the beauty of Kenya/Africa. The African Airstrip Adventures take FSX to the adventure level.

With this addon you can finally experience all the wildlife you expect to find in Africa. Although this is a Flight Simulator X addon, it is not meant to reproduce Kenya as it is. Lots of names and places are fictional, even if based on real places and objects. We wanted to fill the gap between the simulation and the gaming aspect of FSX. So while the flying is highly realistic your environment is created to suit the mission career mode and not in the first place to be realistic. It will never be unrealistic however!

When Microsoft announced that FSX would include a realistic living world, we were all eager to go for safaris in Africa or follow birds on their way across the planet. Soon enough we found that - apart from eagles soaring in thermals - there are no animals to be found outside certain missions. With the African Airstrip Adventures we correct this absence. This addon covers an area of approximately 40,000 square kilometers around Mt Kenya, the country's highest peak. More than 20 airstrips, custom scenery and landclass, landmarks, lodges, vehicles and of course thousands of birds and mammals are bringing FSX to life - more than everything you've experienced before.

But that is not enough. For the very first time in FSX, you can now start a career as a pilot in a fictional charter airline, the small 'African Safari Charter'. Take on several different jobs, organize your schedule, choose the best aircraft for your assignment, maintain your aircraft, transport passengers and cargo, go on safaris - and of course master the challenging airstrips, which will afford all of your flying skills. The career mode is not simply a mission, it's an unlimited adventure, with job offers popping up randomly. You can combine jobs, having to keep track of the aircraft's load limitations and your time schedule. If you manage all of that you can climb the reputation ladder, collect rewards and have hours and hours of fun as an 'African Safari Charter' pilot.

Please note that this is a product that is hard on framerates because of the thousands of individually placed objects. Due to the way FSX handles these objects there is just no way to optimize the scenery more than has been done. Running this scenery on the highest scenery levels could only impossible on the fastest systems. The scenery however makes full use of the density settings so when your system is not top notch you can scale down complexity and still see amazing scenery. The System requirements should be taken very serious.

African Airstrip Adventures is a very pleasant surprise and a MUST HAVE for the FSX mission junkie and if you like exploring. This is no ordinary mission pack. AAA is a challenging VFR adventure that takes place in a big section of Kenya where you can become a charter pilot for hire in career mode. You can also do free flights in the area to explore on your own. Aerosoft conveniently added saved flights for each airstrip/airport to make it easy to hop in and go exploring free flight in which you can switch to any aircraft you own. In career mode you can only use mostly FSX default aircraft and a couple Aerosoft aircraft (if you already own them) however this does not detract from the fun Imo. it comes with 20 airstrips/airports, most of which are unpaved. The unique unpaved airstrip designs make for extremely interesting and very challenging takeoffs and landings. This is because all airstrips are sloped and extremely bumpy, not your average flat FSX runway/airstrip. Did I mention the animals? There are Elephants, Rhinos, Lions, Leopards, Buffalos, Giraffes, Zebras, Flamingos and other birds. AAA is all about exploring Africa and all its rugged beauty, the package comes with landclass scenery, custom trees and buildings and animations. Aerosoft is always known for in adding lots of small details in their scenery and you will find all of that here as well. There's also a copilot voiceover in the beginning tutorial mission that explains things and there's a dispatcher you talk to in career mode. The only downside I can think of to AAA is that it requires a good pc and FSX tweaked for best performance to get good frame rates (due to the many animals everywhere and the way FSX handles it, not Aerosoft's fault). Keep in mind that the number of animals you see depends on your autogen density setting, higher setting equals more animals but decreased performance. The reason I still play FSX even today is because even after all these years I still keep finding amazing add-ons like this one that just keeps me playing, FSX is never boring when I keep finding amazing add-ons like this one. Do yourself a favor and get it.

Nettes Addon für zwischendurch, welches aber für mich ehrlich gesagt keine besondere Langzeitmotivation bietet! Besonders ärgerlich finde ich (Deshalb nur 2 Sterne) das man nicht das Luftfahrzeug benutzen kann worauf man gerade Lust hat, ein Wechsel zu z.B. einem Addon-Helicopter ist nicht möglich, ob man diese Möglichkeit nun vorher in der Missionsauswahl aktiviert hat oder nicht. Zusätzlich ist dieses Addon sehr Performance hungrig und ich kann mir bei bestem Willen nicht erklären warum das so ist, die paar Tiere, Hütten und Bodentexturen verlangen vom PC soviel wie Manhattan X, wie kann das sein?!
