Alaska 1930s – The Mail Run

Welcome to the Golden Age of Aviation

Take a step back to 1930s Alaska and explore five historic airfields from the early days of aviation in the territory.

Alaska was a very different place in the 1930s. With few roads connecting its scattered settlements, aircraft played an important role in carrying mail, supplies and passengers between communities. Flying in Alaska was rarely straightforward, and the pilots who operated these routes faced some of the most challenging conditions in aviation.

This package brings five of these historic locations to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, recreated with period-inspired buildings, custom models and scenery designed to capture the character of aviation in Alaska during this era.

Included Locations

Merrill Field – Anchorage (PAMR)
Weeks Field – Fairbanks (PAWK)
McGrath (PAMC)
Unalakleet (PAUN)
Nome (PAOM)

Features

Five custom-built historic Alaskan airfields created exclusively for MSFS 2024.
Period-inspired buildings, hangars and ground facilities.
Custom models and textures throughout the package.
Custom ambient sounds at the airfields.
Seasonal scenery, with selected objects appearing and disappearing throughout the year.
Seasonal wildlife, including bears that disappear during the winter months.
Extensive hand-placed scenery and ground details.
Optimised models and LODs for good performance.
Native MSFS 2024 implementation.

Flying the Alaskan Mail Routes

The five locations offer plenty of opportunities to explore Alaska as it was during the early days of bush flying.

Fly between Merrill Field and Weeks Field, head west towards Unalakleet and Nome, or venture inland to McGrath. Each location has its own character, and the distances and terrain make for some interesting flying.

Whether you are recreating the early mail routes or simply exploring Alaska in a period aircraft, I hope you enjoy visiting these locations as much as I have enjoyed building them.

Please check the manual in the Documents folder for additional historical information and details about the included locations.

Installation

Important: Merrill Field (PAMR) is the core package and must be installed for the other four airfields to work correctly.

The scenery has been structured this way to avoid duplicating shared files across all five locations. This keeps the overall download size smaller and reduces loading times, without having to install the same scenery assets multiple times.

Install PAMR first, followed by the remaining airfield packages.
