Recommended Posts

G'day everyone,

I'm pleased to officially introduce Jackson Hole, the first airport package developed for FTX Central Rocky Mountains. Development is ongoing, expect more screenshots (and a few more new features) to be unveiled over the coming weeks.

Enjoy!

JACKSON HOLE AIRPORT

Often touted as one of the most scenic airports in the United States, Jackson Hole (KJAC) is situated in western Wyoming, immediately adjacent the Teton Range. Serving as a gateway to the Grand Teton and Yellowstone, KJAC is the only airport in the US that is situated within a national park. The airport is notoriously difficult to fly into at certain times of the year; the short runway, high altitude and seasonal weather have lead to numerous overshoot incidents by both airliners and business aircraft.

Jackson Hole has been developed with both "low and slow" and tubeliner simmers in mind. The area is extremely popular with both tourists and wealthy elite, so expect a unique mix of airliner (up to Boeing 757 in size), bizjet and GA traffic. The enormous 1m photoreal area, covering the entire Jackson Hole and Teton Range, offers plenty of scenic terrain to explore. Special attention has also been paid to tweaking performance for the airport; KJAC has been designed to be used in conjunction with higher-end aircraft addons.

FEATURES

Great Stuff! BTW am I the only one who saw the picture of the guy cleaning the regional jet engine and imediately think of the movie Fletch?

"Awww, come on guys, it's so simple maybe you need a refresher course. [leans arm on hot engine part, then jumps away] Heyya! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State."

Well, we know which airport we're going to be seen using as a backdrop for photos over and over after it's released; and rightly so!

What a bonus, getting the higher res Tetons with it. I can't wait to blast out of Mountain Home in my F-111 and go ripping through the valley(basin?)!!
