Free FS 2004 add-on sceneries ready for download


As mentioned before, I was also busy creating some sceneries for use in the Tongass National Forest (Alaska), with the excellent Tongass Fjords for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

This scenery covers 70,000 sqKm of some of some of the most breathtaking country anywere.

The recreation of islands, mountains, lakes and fjords is breathtaking. Adding animated AI airplanes, cruise ships, Coast Guard Cutters, fishing and pleasure boats, and even kayaks, the area comes alive.

The creators of this scenery, the same people that had done Misty Fjords (covering the area around Ketchikan), have extended and improved the area to the North, covering Wrangell, J. Petersburg and Sitka. See a comparison of Tongass Fjords scenery with photos of the area.

My sceneries comprise a few real-life National Forestry Service rental cabins , most of them very remote, with access only by boat or float plane (pictured: Devil's Elbow Cabin). All my current series of cabins can be downloaded for free at the user community sites for Tongass Fjords (here) and Misty Fjords (here).

If you like to fly in FS 2004 and you like bush flying, do yourself a favor and get these add-ons and companion free sceneries.

Note: I am no artist. Before you think I can draw and paint, I'll tell you I used Abacus EZ-Scenery which allows you to place library objects and build sceneries that anyone can use without needing a copy of the program installed.
