  • Description

    Northern Adventures adds 16 new missions flying in Alaska and Canada. The primary aircraft are the DHC-2 Beaver, the Cessna 208B Caravan, and the King Air 350. 12 missions are flyable with the standard FS X version, and 16 with the Deluxe (Pro) version. The four bonus missions fly the Grumman Goose and the Maule Orion with skis.

    The Canadian West coast is renowned for its rugged beauty and variety of climate zones. We have added scenic detail around Canadian airports and water ports. Air traffic control is limited in many coastal areas, and the remoteness of locations adds to the challenge.

    Similarly, Alaskan scenery is rugged and beautiful. Missions include dusk and dawn flights in three different seasons to and from famous locations like Juneau and Skagway.

    Missions include new scenery, voices, and new paint for the Beaver and Goose. Canadian locations include Tofino, Sandspit, the Queen Charlotte Islands, Prince Rupert and others. Mission types include search and rescue, transport, high country landing, and ferrying passengers. All types of weather are included, as well as emergency situations. On screen mission goal markers are available for most missions except Advanced missions.

    Some minor aircraft modifications are included. The Beaver is reduced from a turbo charged engine to a standard aspirated piston type.

    Prospective buyers should note that this mission pack in part is common with Aerosoft's "BeaverX Mission Pack", so five of the missions are identical, and another couple are the same as missions in the BeaverX pack, although with different aircraft. Also note that the the makers of this pack, X1 Software, apparently have gone out of business. This is particularly frustrating since there are some problems with the missions. X1 Software's defunct homepage has an update for the mission pack, but the link is dead. The installer will make some changes to your aircraft (new textures, and a weaker engine for the Beaver), so if you don't want that you had better install the pack manually, and then change the sim.0 line in the .FLT files to your default planes. There are some major glitches in the missions. One of them (Canada Cargo II) will only load as a Free Flight, and you have to do some serious fiddling with the .xml file to make it work. Another (Kluane Tour Orion) loads as a mission, but due to faulty programming one of the goals will never be triggered, and so the mission never can end. Again, a lot of fiddling with the .xml file to make it work at least reasonably well (there is still some dialogue that never is triggered). On the positive side, the scenery and dialogues are very good. Five of the missions have rewards, but all but one are copied from other FSX missions. If you do not already have the BeaverX mission pack, and if you don't mind having to spend several hours manipulating the above-mentioned mission to function, then this pack might be an acceptable buy.
