| 5.16.2012 | RTMM Season Switcher V-3.3 - by Rod Jackson. The latest version of the RTMM Season Switcher is ready for download at the top of the Scenery Page. |
| 05.15.2012 | Khutze River Lodge - by Brad Allen.
Khutze Conservancy is located on the east side of Princess Royal Channel, along the Inside Passage route. It shares its northern boundary with Q’altanaas/Aaltanhash Conservancy. Khutze Conservancy protects a very scenic fjord, the entire watershed of the Khutze River, scenic mountains, coastal old-growth forests, high value grizzly bear habitat, salmon spawning streams, marbled murrelet bird colonies and low-elevation Sitka spruce forests. It also provides a protected anchorage (with scenic waterfalls) adjacent to the main Inside Passage route where visitors can spend a night to rest, fish or watch wildlife. The conservancy protects an area of popular recreational use by boaters, the Khutze and East Khutze River watersheds and several small remote streams, lakes and wetlands. This scenery works with the new Season Switcher. Look for it under "K" on the Scenery Page. |
| 05.14.2012 | Virtual Northern Air Charters
We are now setting up a partnership and linkage between RTMM and vNAC. Virtual Northern Air Charters has been created by Chris Losh (Fireball) and the Fed-X routes (FDX) you will find on his page focus on the RTMM area. Our initial links to Chris' website can be found at Misty's Place in the Dispatcher's Office. Here we will be putting VFR flights for those "instrument challenged" planes dealing with the low ceilings in the RTMM area. Our VFR flights will match the flight numbers for VNAC. Here's how Chris describes the new VA:

|
| 04.28.2012 | The Landings at Alastair Lake - By Doug Linn. This is an update to version 1.1 The water anomally areas are now "flattened" to give you a smoother ride up this beautiful river valley. You can find it under "T" (The Landings) on the Scenery Page. |
| 04.27.2012 | Doug's Outfitters Update - by Doug Linn. This scenery has been updated to eliminate the rapids and waterfalls we had added to cover up the water anomalies. The problems have now been replaced with altered "hydro polygons" that make the rivers smooth and much easier to navigate. Better navigation markers are on the rivers along with a few new surprises. This is another update for the river runs that we will continue updating until we have them all done. These rivers are a "delight" to navigate .. the scenery on both is spectacular. The Sparkling Creek run is relatively short, the Ecstall River Run is longer and more scenic. Both "runs" are included in the Doug's Outfitters package. See the Readme HERE. |
| 04.23.2012 | Wilson River Run (Updated) - By Doug Linn. The Wilson River Run has been re-engineered making the run very smooth, with less rapids and waterfalls. Read through the "pdf" to get the information on the run. You can find it at the BOATING site (The Moorings). Also, there is a link to it at the Wilson River Lodge Scenery location. |
| 04.20.2012 | RTMM.Dat file updated (Doug Linn) - The RTMM.Dat file for FSDiscover! has been updated to show all of the latest locations and significant approach "points of interest." It is a Misty's Place at the top of the Map Room. |
| 04.19.2012 | Owikeno Lake Version 1.3 by Doug Linn - Many changes have been made to make this even more fun for more people. You can now drive onto the ferry docks and of course onto the ferry itself. So you can "ride" the ferry boat the 58 minute trip across the lake. The Ferry boat leaves the east dock (Machmel Village) on the even hours and the west dock (Airstrip West) on the odd hours. You will have 2 minutes to board before it heads back across the lake. A Land & Ferry Adventure has been added for ground vehicles. You can see all of the changes and additions in the new readme pdf that comes with it or that you can download at the Scenery Location (Scenery Page "O"). A special thanks to Spud who spent hours checking things out for us (QC) and to Jeff who worked with the wakes on the boats for us. |
| 04.16.2012 | Landing on Owikeno Ferry Boat - By Jeff Greene Look in the Gallery Room at Misty's Place in the Videos and you'll find Jeff Greene's new video of landing on the Ferry Boat at Owikeno Lake. I knew somebody would try it! Look under "Owikeno" in the list of videos. Thanks Jeff. |
| 04.14.2012 | Owikeno Lake Area 1.2 update - by Doug Linn. Turned Pacific Fjords Gateway Airstrip into a "real" airport ... it is now PF50 (our 50th such airport at RTMM). New tarmac was laid down in the ramp area. You can now start a PLAN-G flight plan from this airport or quickly "locate" it in your "Go to Airport" in FSX. You will be placed on the runway, ready to enjoy the lake area. |
| 04.13.2012 | Owikeno Lake Update Version 1.1 - By Doug Linn. The Owikeno Lake Area package has been updated. In it you will find "docks" for the AI boats on the south leg of the lake, (watching the boats dock is rather amazing). There is a new "West Fishing Village" when the fishing trawler can dock. Some small errors were corrected. A full boat trip of the Owikeno Lake Area has been created so you can travel the entire lake and canal seeing all of the sites along the shore. You can also "fly" this trip with a float plane or a helicopter. The tour will show you where all the starting locations for the river runs area located "Flying" the river runs at low level can be exciting and will give you a view of the river-scaping and upper river locations. There is a place to land at most of the ends of the river runs. |
| 04.11.2012 | "How To..." Section added to FAQ page. Often we help each other here at RTMM by writing up a little tutorial that will help the rest of the team to understand a certain aspect of scenery design. I've decided to "archive" these so other folks can use them and enjoy the shared knowledge. The first to entries are "up" on the FAQ page under How To ...

| 04.07.2012 | Owikeno Lake Area - By Doug Linn, Brad Allen and Rod Jackson. This is an extensive package that includes 34 locations, 4 airstrips, 6 river runs (all rivescaped and flattened), 30 helipads, AI Boat Traffic and a few Easter Eggs (since it is Easter). Look through the "readme" that you can download from the scenery page to see pictures of all the many locations, and check out the map to see the complexity of this. We even have a man-made canal that was constructed to link PNW and PFJ ... it is the Pacific Fjords Gateway Canal (created by Rod Jackson). This is a package that should give you hours of exploration pleasure. Find it on the Scenery Page under "O". |
| 03.31.2012 | Skeena River Lodge and Skeena River Run. Both files have been updated to take out the major water anomalies near the lodge. Delete both folders in your scenery file and add the new ones. |
| 03.01.2012 | Kwatna River Airstrip updated - There have been a couple of updates on the Kwatna River Airstrip ... the latest version is V2.2 and you can find it on the scenery page. If you have one of the previous versions, delete that folder and add this one. |
| 02.25.2012 | Kwatna River Airstrip by Brad Allen - Kwatna River is located near the southern edge of the Pacific Fjords area between Bella Bella and Bella Coola. There is a dirt airstrip that is mainly used for logging operations. ORBX even placed some logging trucks and buildings here in the default PFJ package. I added a few more logging objects at the west end of this airstrip and also a fictitious coal mining operation located along the eastern edge of the airstrip which has several animated loaders moving earth and coal. For such a pristine location, a lot of work is possible here because of this airstrip. |
| 02.19.2012 | Hartley Bay SPB to Brad's at Cornwall Pt (Sail Plan) - by Doug Linn Here's a new sail plan that will take you from the Hartley Bay Sea Plane Base to the Brad's Bait & BBQ at Cornwall Pt. This is a very EASY trip, one to "kick back" and just enjoy. With this leg completed, you can now go from Prince Rupert to Hartley Bay (Grenville Channel Run) then use this leg in the "center" of the trip, then continue to the Fountain of Ute from Brads with that sail plan. The waypoints are GPS ready and a Trip Tic will help you watch for things along the way. The RTMM.dat file for FSDiscover adds new waypoints for this trip so you can find your way easily. You'll find it on "The Moorings" (Go to the site map and find the link to that page there). |
| 02.15.2012 | Moose Lake Lodge - By Xavier Carre' - Moose Lake Lodge is located in a remote part of British Columbia (Canada), near the headwaters of the Blackwater River, Dean River, and Entiako River. This is the paradise for rainbow trout fishing, but also salmon and more...And wildlife. How to get there ? By float plane, mooring at CBE8 Moose lake SPB or by plane and amphibious, landing at CAS2. This airstrip is not listed in OrbX PFJ scenery, in fact, this airstrip has an ID. : CAS2, and it seems to be used by amphibious planes. Under "M" on the Scenery Page. Updates:
|
| 02.14.2012 | Spud's Creek - by Doug Linn Spud found us a great little river run which has now been "river scaped" with cabins, wildlife and new vegitation. It is a good beginner boating trip that can start from a new Brad's BBQ at the mouth of the creek, or you can start at the seaport up in the Stewart area and come down the Portland Canal. It has a hard helipad and a the "creek's headwaters cabin" has a short landing zone for a float plane ... the landing zone is a challenge! Since this can be used by both fliers and boaters, it is placed on the Scenery Page and also in The Moorings. Remember, you can get to the Moorings via the Site Map right now (until we get the new menu completed). NOTAM Update: PAKT Ferry ... now has the ferry model in it, updated 02.14.2012 at 7:30 pm est. |
| 02.13.2012 | Canoona Fish Camp by Brad Allen - A beautiful new scenery location with the ability for you to change the season within the location package. This is the first scenery for RTMM that has changing seasonal foliage. Read Instructions in Readme thoroughly. Canoona Lake Fish Camp has a short airstrip for bush pilots. Float Planes have a dock as well. Visitors here have plenty of fishing ahead of them. Not only is the lake a prime spot for anglers, but the trout and salmon runs on the river are fantastic. From Wikipedia: The Canoona River is located on Princess Royal Island on the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The river spills into the ocean over a series of rapids from Canoona Lake. Fish ladders have been built on both sides of the rapids to help the salmon population return to their spawning areas upstream. The abundance of salmon make the Canoona River a popular place for the rare white Kermode or "Spirit" Bear, which is a sub-species of the Black Bear and not an albino as is commonly thought. (Scenery Page under "C") The start points are at the map room, both land and water.
PAKT Ferry by Rob Abernathy - A great AI and scenery package for the PAKT SP1 that puts a moving ferry boat and docks right where they belong at PAKT. It's under "P" on the Scenery Page. |
| 02.12.2012 | Plan-G RTMM Update by Dieter Linde ... a new cvs file is ready to download that will update your Plan-G with the latest RTMM locations. (Thank you Dieter) |
| 02.11.2012 |
|
| 02.06.2012 | Misty Maritime Updated - By Dex Thomas. This is an updated file to make sure we are collision-free in the Tongass Narrows. If you've already downloaded Misty Maritime (On the Enhancements Page) download it again and follow the readme for the update. |
| 02.05.2012 | Ketchikan Harbor (Added 02.05.2012) Scenery Created by Rod Jackson
Ketchikan Harbor is a detailed scenery enhancement that requires ORBX PAKT with SP1 be installed first. Ketchikan harbor also features the home of Eagle Air. Other enhancements featured in this scenery package include cargo dock objects, many additional buildings and trees surrounding the general harbor area and some building enhancement in downtown Ketchikan to reduce the glass and steel effect and add more color. Eagle Air is a small fictitious company, located at the edge of Ketchikan Harbor, just east of Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base (5KE), that provides floatplane tours and private charters for the greater Ketchikan area and throughout Misty Fjords. Many locations featured, found at the Return To Misty Moorings (RTMM) web site, can be easily reached from Ketchikan Harbor. Eagle Air is run by two brothers, Joe and Jack. Joe loves their J3-Cub and is always spiffing it up. Joe is also a part time harbor pilot and takes the ole' boat out whenever the Harbormaster calls on him to help guide those monstrous cruise ships. This is a "first" scenery from our new team mate, Rod Jackson ... it's a beautiful beginning! Find it on the Scenery Page under "K". |
| 02.01.2012 | Misty Cruise Ship and Fishing Boats - NOTAM PAKT SP1 Necessary - Here is another great enhancement from Dex Thomas that brings Misty "alive". The package includes not only a new cruise ship at a new dock but some unique fishing boats for the harbor area too. You will find this in the ENHANCEMENTS area ... this, along with many other items not showing on the main menu, can be found by going to the SITE MAP. |
| 01.31.2012 | UPDATED: CIRP Offices at PAKT (combo offices) have been updated ... by Jeff Greene. Find the new file on the CIRP Page in the Extra Addons area. PAKT SP1 Only |
| 01.27.2012 | New VIDEO Added to the Gallery ... Down and Dirty by Amentiba. Check it out, it really gives folks the flavor for Misty Moorings. You'll find it in the gallery under video. |
| 01.23.2012 |
|
| 01.05.2012 | PAKT AI TRAFFIC UPDATE - for NEW PAKT from ORBX only! - With the upgraded PAKT program from ORBX, an AI traffic conflict was discovered. Download this file and the conflict will be resulved thanks to Dex Thomas (our best traffic cop!!). Find the file under Enhancements/PAKT AI Traffic Conflict, or on the CIRP page under CIRP OFFICE Version II. Or download it HERE. |
| 01.01.2011 | My PAKT ALBUM Slideshow - by Jeff Greene ... great shots of the new PAKT and the new offices Jeff has built for us there. You can find this in the Gallery under Slide Show. |
| 12/30/2011 | CIRP PAKT Office by Jeff Greene - This new scenery location is to compliment the new PAKT airport from ORBX. NOTAM: You must have the PAKT ADDITION FROM ORBX to run this location correctly. You will find this addition on the CIRP Page under CIRP Addons. |
| 12.18.2011 | PLAN-G Prince of Wales Isld Cabins added to Plan-G. You can go to the top of the MapRoom and download the cvs file there. Thank you Dieter. |
| 11.14.2011 | PLAN-G Data File updated - By Dieter Linde - The latest Plan-G data file can be found at the top of the Map Room ... this includes many of the new CIRP locations. (Thank you Dieter!) |
| 11.09.11 | Lake Lodge Run by Chris Losh - This is a complex package of 5 separate locations wrapped up into one. This is designed after some real time locations that are actually in this flight area. The package includes Wilderness Lake, Egulik Lake, Moose Lake Lodge, Tesla Lake Lodge, and Tsetsi Lake. As usual the flight plan is included in the package as well as "readme" files for each of the locations describing them in detail. Go to the Scenery Page and look under "L" for Lake Lodge Run. Desparate Moose Lodge PF33 by: Xavier “Fishbone” Carré -Located in British Columbia, Entiako Spur is a very curious hill. If you fly over the area, you will find a desolate area, without woods. It does not look like a typical Canadian landscape, much more like a desert landscape. No more wildlife, except a lonely moose. Some people, now settle here with the idea of helping nature come back to normal. Hopefully, the wildlife will return here. Please, help them ! On the Scenery Page under "D" Sea Rescue #2 by Xavier “Fishbone” Carré Another ship is in trouble, but Xavier has a plan to come to their rescue. This is a great helicopter flight. Look under "S" on the Scenery Page for Sea Rescue #2! |
| 10.31.2011 | CIRP is "Live!" - At the bewitching stroke of midnight on Oct 31st, 2011, the Cambria Icefield Research Project started the generators and turned on the lights. Welcome all to CIRP. In the middle of our beautiful Misty Fjords, somebody, put a group of big, white glaciers. This area is so different from Misty, it is almost like "another world." But with the magic of the CIRP team, you no longer have to fly over them or around them going from "here to there" ... now, you can land on them, explore them and make them your destination. CIRP was built for the many nitches of flightsimmers. This is a different kind of bush piloting, the visual markers are blurred by the starkness of the ice and the weather we typically fly "under" we are now flying "in!". For helicopters, this is a helicopter heaven with over 18 locations mounted in precarious positions, some on mountaintops at almost 8000 feet. We have both Air Operations and Land Operations with routes, dispatches and various things to do. For Airplanes, each ice station has its own NDB so you can set your ADF and be guided to the beacon. (See Nav Map for Frequencies). For the Land Ops, we have repainted two vehicles that work perfectly on the ice, the Stalwart and the Hovercraft (Both by Hama). We have land routes, and dispatches out to fix the glacier instruments we position on the ice (that you will rarely see unless you follow the gps routes). With the land vehicles, you can literally drive out onto the glaciers. These look enormous from the air ... wait until you are down "on" them ... it is an unbelievable experience. This is more than 10 ice stations ... each has outlying camps and research outposts. To "introduce" yourself to this experience, go to the Air Ops section and download the Glacier Tour Dispatch 001. This gives you an autopilot friendly (hands off except for altitude) flight plan that takes you from PAKT to the new Visitors' Centre at Summit Ice Station. Download PF48 (Summit Ice Station) and this flight plan and you will have started your CIRP experience in a very realistic manner. From there, look at the CIRP map and decide where you want to go next and download the next one. At RTMM, we believe flight simming is as much about the journey as the destination .. our motto, "Everything you need from here to there." Becoming familiar with CIRP is a journey in itself. Start it right, plan it well, and enjoy the process of adding to your scenery library. We hope you enjoy CIRP, we believe we have over 1000 man hours in it. You can discuss it on the forum. Enjoy the journey! |
| 10.19.2011 | CIRP Movie Trailer - by Dan Linn ... now on the HOME page. Also you will find a new link there to the new YouTube MistyMoorings Channel that we will be developing. |
| 10.18.2011 | Misty Repaint of the OZx Freeware Grumman Goose by Reggie Smith - Here is an excellent repaint of the FREEWARE OZx Grumman Goose in Misty Colors. You can find it on the Enhancements Page under repaints. Remember, to get to "Enhancements" or any other page that is not in the top menu, go to the Site Map on the top menu and you will find it. You can also find it from the home page and from Misty's Place. Just remember the "Site Map" when you cannot find something. Thank you Reggie for a great repaint. (Please read the "readme" on this repaint very closely ... it is easy to follow, but this repaint is a little different that some you are used to adding). Goose Panel Modification: Also I have added a panel modification under the Goose repaint on the Enhancements Page that will help with the upcoming CIRP. The MiniPanel has an ADF in it which will help you find the NDBs in Return to Misty Moorings and the new Cambria Icefield Research Project (CIRP). Also the GPS pop up has been modified ... instead of a huge GPS, a smaller one that comes up in the lower right corner of your screen with an ADF, altimeter and speedometer. This makes it easy to fly in the "outside view" and still be able to watch your course and speed. |
| 10.15.2011 |
|
| 10.02.2011 | Sorry we have not posted a great deal here on the NOTAMs ... but it has been a very busy time for the CIRP team. We are not ready yet, still working out the bugs that are typical in an effort this large. To watch progress and see screenshots, go to the forum under CIRP and we are posting videos and slide shows there of what is coming. |
| 08.20.2011 | "Quiet Time?" ... well it probably looks like it from your side of the computer screen, but we are spending a great deal of time on the upcoming CIRP. This is going to be a very detailed and interesting package. It will have its own web page just because of its complexity. There are 10 ice stations involved, all will have working NDB. We are making "routes' out on the glaciers to find and repair the sensors ... this is really interesting. If you don't know what to look for and aren't being careful, you'll go right past them. The detail being put into the runways, etc is going to be amazing. So we are not "asleep" over here at RTMM ... we are working hard to eventually bring you something very special. This is just to keep you posted. |
| 08.12.2011 | Dispatch #013 and Dispatch #014 are uploaded. These are both cabin runs for the Tongass Fjords cabins. #13 is for Admiralty Island and #14 is for the north and west sides of the Prince of Wales Island. (Both are autopilot-ready) meaning all you have to do is alter the altitude as indicated on the dispatcher's map and the plane will fly from beginning to end all turns perfectly). |
| 08.11.2011 | Dispatch #012 - Stikine River Mail Drop - a fully auto-piloted flight plan you can fly in ANY weather. All you need to do is adjust the altitude and this is clearly depicted on the dispatch map. |
| 08.09.2011 | Dispatch #011 - route by Klaus Troppner (Corbu1). This is a flight out of Navman's Retreat to Wrangell, up over the glaciers, back to Johnson-Peterson Airport with a few stops between. A beautiful flight. (Rtmm.dat updated). |
| 08.07.2011 | Site Map - Navigation Bar Changes - Well the site is getting a little "complex" and as we add things, there is no way we can put exactly what you might be looking for on the top Nav Line. So we've made a Site Map with a link to it on the top Nav Bar. If you are not heading for one of those major pages above, then click on the Site Map and it takes you to links to all the pages. We are putting in "key words" in the descriptions, so when we get this fully operational, if you are looking for something you can hit CTRL-F (COMMAND-F Mac) and you can search the page. This is all a "good" part of the growing pains. Dispatch #009 ... a tour of the coastal communities of Tongass Fjords. |
| 08.04.2011 | Dispatch #008 - Suggested by "Foggy Bottom" ... Misty's, Totem Bight, Portage Bay, Klinkwan Fish Camp, Hunter Bay Cannery, Fleet Bay,Metlakatla to PAKX. |
| 08.03.2011 | Dispatch #006 - The Lighthouse Tour ... this dispatch takes you to all the lighthouses in the RTMM area. Links to all the lighthouses are included. There is an update for the Lucy Island Light that was left out of rtmm.dat (corrected). All of the mooring points for all of the lighthouses are on THE CABINS page (get there via The Map Room. Dispatch #007 - Metlakatla to Kincolith ... assumed bad weather, so a low level flight through some tricky mountains getting to Pearse Island. |
| 08.02.2011 | Dispatch #005 uploaded to Misty's Place, Dispatcher's Office. This is a cabin inspection route over Prince of Wales Island also stopping at Dog Salmon and Goose Creek. |
| 08.01.2011 | Dispatch #003 uploaded to Misty's Place (Dispatcher's Office). This route is a USFS cabin inspection tour of the cabins in the Ketchikan area. The "graphical format" for the Dispatches has been upgraded ... maps easier to read, etc. A new FAQ under "Dispatcher's Ribbon" explains how to use this feature and how to submit a dispatch. Dispatch #004 uploaded to Misty's Place (Dispatcher's Office). This route is a USFS cabin inspection tour of the cabins in the Misty Fjords National Park. 14 cabins and shelters are included on this tour. |
| 07.30.2011 | Dispatch #002 -This is a day of inspecting the USFS cabins north of Yes Bay Lodge. A USFS Ranger was commenting to a friend at Yes Bay that he would be doing all the inspections by himself today since his helper called in ill. You simply asked if you could ride along and help him with the inspections. Well it's called "YES" Bay for a reason ... buckle up! We start out at the dock at the Yes Bay Lodge, then begin flying to the cabins one by one. At each cabin, we need to make sure the supplies listed for the cabin are in place, for those cabins where people are lodging, this is a good time to say "hello" and make sure they are OK. When done with each cabin inspection, move on to the next one on the route. You'll find it at Misty's Place at the Dispatcher's Office. |
| 07.29.2011 | The Dispatcher's Office - is "open" - You'll find it at Misty's Place. We will be making "routes" for you to follow that don't follow the "beaten path" but go vfr from point to point. The first one is "up" and the second one will be "up" tomorrow. if you have ideas for routes and maybe a little story line to go along with the route, send it to us and we'll try to put it up for you. (and for us!) Look at The Dispatcher's Office in the forum under Misty's Place ... another place to chat about this. I've put some screen shots up of what you can expect. Dispatch 001 is sort of a beta attempt, we'll work on story lines better in future entries. |
| 07.26.2011 | New SP4 Patch for PNW - Get it at ORBX. This patch is a CUMULATIVE patch (525MB) that contains all the content of previous patches for PNW. Be sure FTX Central is set to North America when applying the patch. Below is a cut n' paste from the ORBX site announcement. |
| 07.24.2011 | Dean River - By Doug Linn. A multiple location scenery package including a logging/shipping facility, Brad's, Float/Dive Shop, Medical Center for the area, Emergency Sea Plane Dock, Emergency lighted helipad, an "activated" (previously abandoned) airport .. PF32 "Dean River" .. a new hanger and office complex, and a little village for Kimsquick. The river is "river-scaped" putting in rocks and rapids where the water anomalies appear ... all of these are documented in the "readme" so you will know how to handle them. Half way up the river is a "Half Way Float Rental Shop" where you can trade your larger boat in for something smaller to navigate the upper river(s). This little facility has a floating helipad. Then, after about 40 miles of beautiful scenery, rapids and waterfalls, you arrive at Sigulat Lake. There you will find Sigulat Lake Village waiting for you. Be sure to read the "readme" carefully ... all of the "mooring points" are listed there (as well as the Map Room). There is a floating helipad there also. Scenery Page under "D" |
| 07.16.2011 | Slide Shows Added to the Gallery - I've added a "slide show" area to the gallery page. Wedge just did a beauty that we need to document here. I'd appreciate it if you would look back over some other slide shows that were done and bring them to my attention and I'll add those too. Just send me a "link" and I'll get it up there. Let me know if you want me to use your "real" name ... some people do, some do not, so if I don't have your real name, I'll use the screen name. A great deal of work goes into making these, and they should be recorded. Thank you for that effort! |
| 07.14.2011 | Thumb Harbour by Xavier Carre' - Thumb Harbour is located in the Kynoch Inlet (BC). A narrow fjord, surrounded by high mountains, a paradise for boating, but not so easy for bush pilots. Thumb Harbour was a haven for fishing boats and provided a few services to crewmen. Now, with the growth of aerial traffic in Pacific Fjords area, a seaplane base settles here, providing services and fuel to boats, seaplanes and amphibious. A platform is built to allow easy maintenance, used also as helipad. You are not afraid by flying in narrow misty fjords, this is for you ! |
| 07.11.2011 |
Xavier's Cabin by Brad Allen. A beautiful new, remote location on the Tezwa River. This one as a small tribute to Xavier for all the work he does for us here at RTMM. The Fountain of Ute (River Run)- By Doug Linn ... associated with Xavier's Cabin, here is a River Run that takes you from a new Brad's Bait & BBQ at Cornwall Point up the Tezwa River in the area of Xavier's Cabin. The river is fully "river-scaped" with navigational markers, rapids and waterfalls. (Under "F"" on the Scenery Page ... also on The Moorings) FSDiscover! file updated for this river run and area. (Get it at the top of the Map Room) |
| 07.09.2011 | Victory Valley - Updated ... we had some problems with this one that Brad has fixed for us. So it is now re-uploaded and ready for your download. The Landings at Alastair Lake - Updated ... bench textures fixed and a neat rock wall around the "floating" helipad (thank you Brad!). |
| 07.08.2011 | Victory Valley by Xavier Carre' and Brad Allen - This is a beautiful complex of scenery locations about 10 miles up the Kimsquit River from the Kimsquit Logging Camp. You will find a lodge, cabins, bridges, dirt airstrip (2 runways), a helipad, float plane dock and many other interesting features. Something you might not notice at first ... but check out the "seasonal" paints Xavier has done with this scenery ... look at it in winter. We take this kind of artwork for granted, but it is a lot of hard work (which all of us appreciate). You will find it under "V" for Victory Valley on the Scenery Page. Tweedsmuir Peak by Brad Allen and Kim Gowney - A short gravel strip halfway up this impressive outcrop that bears a striking resemblance to the caldera of Mt St Helens, though not as large, this is a region that really shows off some of the amazing landclass that ORBx have developed, flying around the Peak at a height of 1500ft AGL you can clearly see the morraine and alpine like features of the mountain, it's as if you were really there, this is summertime flying.
