briansommers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm surprised we don't have the rest of Alaska as a payware region yet. Will that ever happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think it will come eventually, but also is it not a vast empty ice covered area? I may be wrong about this, so discussion will help me to know the area. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I would fly the route from Anchorage all the way up to Prudhoe Bay VFR and low and slow if the rest of Alaska was released. The area we have now is really great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertPilot Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Perhaps the upcoming openLC NA product will help with the rest of Alaska... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojiito Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 but also is it not a vast empty ice covered area? Ha, definitely not. Well, yes, I guess in the winter you could kind of say that. But even the very northern coast thaws out for a while in the summer. The interior has bright beautiful summers, I've seen Fairbanks pushing 100 degrees F. There are mountain ranges many people have never heard of, volcanoes (active and not so active), several major rivers (Yukon, Kuskokwim, Tanana, Susitna, Copper), vast spruce forests, endless tundra (which has its own kind of special beauty, especially in the fall), literally a million lakes, and cabins, lodges, villages, and airports all over the place. Well, 'all over the place' being relative. And most villages are pretty small, with a couple hundred people, but still... There is as much scenery up there as Orbx could possibly ever want to do. Although there are large areas that flight simmers might not be that interested in, being very flat and repetitive for a looooong ways, Orbx's skill with immersion could make pretty much anywhere a great experience. For these, I would be happy with just giving some of the airports and small strips the Orbx touch, which wouldn't require the years of detailed scenery development for large areas.

Matthew Kane Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Remember it is 24 hours of daylight in the summer so this is a pilots paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briansommers Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 yes, NA LC - I can hardly wait for that one. I'm using SceneryTech LC rgiht now.. Not bad and it will hold me over until ORBX releases theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturi Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I vote for NZ first, but mainly because I bought the rest of Alaska in the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
