KAVIK RIVER CAMP AIRSTRIP - RK1
From the "Life Below Zero°" Series
How many times you've watched the "Life Below Zero°" on TV, wandering how could have been to land on Kavik to meet Ms. Aikens, with bad weather and strong sidewind?
Kavik is a small and remote camp, which serves as a shelter and B&B for hunters, researchers, and adventurers.
Camp is South-East 44 miles of Deadhorse and 337miles north of Fairbanks.
The WHOLE wilderness in Alaska is constellated by thoudsands of small airstrips, mostly private, and there is almost no better place for learning and practicing bush flying!
NOW YOU CAN
Using dozens of pictures taken from the web and the TV series, I've been able to mentally map the whole area and meticulously reproduce each inch of the above.
Referencing has been the hardest part, and you won't notice at all that who designed this has NEVER been there before!
Each tent, tank, cabin, has been reproduced in detail.
Wanna know what's inside?

KNOWN ISSUES
The best has been tried to remove ground services but still they do appear most of times. Same for vanilla fuel stations.
Seems like, until Asobo give us direct control on them, the only workaround is to lower the Airport Life setting in the OPTIONS.
FUTURE PLANS
The more the Simulator and the SDK grow, the better I can improve this scenery (and my freewares too).
This means that in the short term I'll be trying to implement heightmaps for the terrain morphology.
Animated animals are in the list too
The rest, is up to Asobo's roadmap!
Live Free, even below Zero°!
Review it now!
if you like Alaska panorama and the "life below zero" tv series you must have it
if you don't like it, you must have it anyway
The accuracy of the models is amazing. I searched for a few pictures online and I compared them with what is in the game and its like completely 1:1
For example there is a weird wooden thing behind the living containers, and when you look on pictures the stand is right, the barrels are right, everything just fits perfectly.
I also like the little extra's he put in, like the hand drawn made VFR map and the livery for on the cessna caravan.
I do have some nitpickings tho;
He could've made like the living trailers' corrugated steel actually 3d.
now if you look closely you can see that its just a texture
also there are some trees and bushes located on the gravel which is kinda weird since they dont tend to grow on gravel
there are also some models with some nice details in them, like the aviation gas tanks. The way these nozzle hoses curve are really nice
Overall this airport is a must have for people who like to do bush trips, especially if you like to do them in Alaska. Therefore I will give this airport the full 5 stars
