    Juneau was named after gold prospector Joe Juneau, though the place was for a time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg (after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris—several books credit the Tlingit Chief Kowee with showing these prospectors where the gold was). The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik 'i Héeni "river where the flounders gather", and Auke Bay just north of Juneau proper is called Aak'w "little lake" in Tlingit. The Taku River, just south of Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from the mountains. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (4.9 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system; the Mendenhall glacier has been generally retreating; its front face is declining both in width and height.

    The current Alaska State Capitol is an office building in downtown Juneau, originally built as the Federal and Territorial Building in 1931. Originally housing federal government offices, the federal courthouse, and a post office, it became the home of the Alaska Legislature and the offices for the governor of Alaska and lieutenant governor of Alaska. Through the years, there has been discussion on relocating the seat of state government and building a new capitol, without significant development.

    This is my first experience with buying payware scenery. Could not pass this one up, as I live in Juneau, and am really fond of flying in Southeast Alaska. I have had a mixed experience, probably due to my unfamiliarity with scenery. First let me say that the scenery package is "photoreal". I can literally do the "I can see my house from here" bit. A Winter texture would have been nice, but Summer is so much prettier here that it is not a huge issue. Perhaps my settings are messed up somehow, but with this scenery I get "waves" where in FSX default scenery there was water, but now is land. I had hoped that this scenery would fix a few other problems with the default Juneau as well. In default FSX the "Alaska Capitol is right next to the Airport, instead of 8 miles away in downtown Juneau. This was not changed with the release. Additionally, the FSX default roads are gone, but there is still traffic on them. I am getting cars and trucks running straight up the side of mountains. Finally, I know that this is not terrain mesh, but there are areas that are cliffs that should not be. I would have hoped that some of these fixtures would have been fixed in a package of this price. Overall, though I am very happy with how much more fun it makes VFR flight around my "home" airport.
