Evening at TFG7 aka "Dawes Camp"
Based on it's real world counterpart, the JIRP (Juneau Icefield Research Program), SIRP places 10 isolated research camps at various locations in the vast Stikine Icefield that straddles the Alaska/British Columbia border. This area has been beautifully rendered with glacial textures and accurate landclass in the Tongass Fjords scenery package, but has often remained a rarely traversed and under appreciated region. There's a great deal of stunning wilderness scenery out there, and it's our hope that this package will provide flyers an opportunity to challenge their VFR skills while visiting some interesting Icefield destinations. These camps vary from well equipped regional supply centers to lonely, wind battered outposts. In addition, all new fire, smoke, and blowing snow effects for FS9 have been specially designed for this release in an attempt to bring a unique "arctic wilderness" feel to the scenery. This is a Freeware Release. Scroll down for more previews of SIRP. Download at bottom of Page...
