From the creators of the original FSX and Acceleration missions comes Air Alaska —the first release from TakeFlight Interactive. In this challenging, story-driven mission pack you’ll work your way up the ranks of a quirky Alaskan air charter operation.

Before you set forth into the Alaskan wilderness, you’ll put your stick and rudder skills to the test. You’ll climb into the cockpit of the iconic J-3 Cub, and learn to land just about anywhere.

As you take the controls in five challenging missions, you’ll experience Flight Simulator like never before. Highly interactive, authentic, and educational gameplay combine with cinematics, music, AI aircraft, and custom scenery to transport you into the world of an Alaskan bush pilot.

Hauling people and freight as a rookie new hire, you’ll get to know your co-workers (including Rosie the gossiping dispatcher and Martin the grumpy bush flying veteran). You’ll learn the tricks of the trade and become part of the team ... and ultimately the hero.

A custom interface makes it easy to get started and immerse yourself in your new job—with an interactive map, custom briefings, automatic detection of usable add-on aircraft, and more.

TakeFlight Interactive is a new studio formed by former Aces designer Brandon Seltz, along with other Microsoft Flight Simulator alumni. With this first release, they bring deeply interactive mission-based experiences back to the world of Flight Simulator.

Leave the comforts of home behind and head north! Challenge the wilderness while flying over incredible terrain, facing unexpected emergencies, and making harrowing rescues. Do you have what it takes to be a bush pilot? Find out in Air Alaska.
