Prince William Sound (Refreshed V2.0-03.11.2019)
By Brad Allen
Starting Points: (See Locations Below) 

Prince William Sound is a sound of the Gulf of Alaska on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is located on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula. Its largest port is Valdez, at the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Other settlements on the sound, which contains numerous small islands, include Cordova and Whittier plus the Alaska native villages of Chenega and Tatitlek.

James Cook entered Prince William Sound in 1778 and named it Sandwich Sound, after his patron the Earl of Sandwich. The editors of Cook's maps changed the name to Prince William Sound, in honor of Prince William, who would later become King William IV. The Sound was named in 1778 by George Vancouver to honour George III's third son Prince William Henry, then aged thirteen and serving as a midshipman in the Royal Navy.

Most of the land surrounding Prince William Sound is part of the Chugach National Forest, the second largest national forest in the U.S. Prince William Sound is ringed by the steep and glaciated Chugach Mountains. The coastline is convoluted, with many islands and fjords, several of which contain tidewater glaciers. The priyncipal barrier islands forming the sound are Montague Island, Hinchinbrook Island, and Hawkins Island.

A 1964 tsunami, a result of the Good Friday Earthquake, killed a number of Chugach villagers in the coastal village of Chenega, as well as destroying the town of Valdez.

In 1989, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef after leaving Valdez, causing a large oil spill, which resulted in massive damage to the environment, including the killing of around 250,000 seabirds, nearly 3,000 sea otters, 300 harbour seals, 250 bald eagles and up to 22 killer whales.

=============================
REQUIRED SCENERY

Scenery Necessary to use this location is listed at the bottom of the Scenery Location on the Scenery Page. 

=============================== 
REQUIRED OBJECT LIBRARIES AND OBJECT LIBRARY VERIFICATION

You must install the necessary RTMM Object Libraries to see all of the RTMM Scenery as designed. Please follow the link below and take the small amount of time required to install each of the files needed to get our objects installed to your simulator. http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/object_libraries_build/#objlib

Please take the additional step to verify that all of our required libraries from RTMM are installed correctly inside your simulator of choice. 
To do this, you will install the RTMM Scenery Object Tester found here: http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/object_libraries_build/#objtest
Once you install this small scenery package, you will need to follow the included instructions to verify each of the various objects we use inside our libraries.

NO ORBX OBJECTS ARE USED IN ANY RTMM DESIGN PROCESS.

===============================
LIBRARY PLACEMENT

You need to set up "Scenery Library Insertion Points" using the ORBX Central application so all of your future add on scenery files, like this one, will always stay on top in the simulators Addon Scenery library and visible when you fly in this area of North America. 

From the ORBX manual: "Scenery Library Insertion Points – “This is a useful tool which allows you to control the 'insertion' point at which all the Orbx FTX entries are placed in your Scenery Library. We've added this function because in some case other scenery addons need to be placed above FTX (for example, OZx or Tongass Fjords X) If you select FTX Scenery Library Insertion Points option, you'll be presented with another window like the one below which allows you to scroll through your FSX scenery library entries. You simply select the entry at which all FTX scenery library entries are inserted below, and click on the 'Set Insertion Point' button.

===============================
GETTING TO THE LOCATION

You will find a map in your zip file that will show you to the geographical location. Also, every RTMM location has a flight plan to it. These are found by downloading RTMM Flight Plans.zip. This can be found by going to RTMM's Here2There page and clicking on the "RTMM Flight Plans" button. You can download the RTMM Flight Plans.zip from that location. Follow the instructions in the readme included in the zip.
