North to South legs 3 and 4 - Gatwicksteve - 02-18-2012
The journey continues! Leg 3 took me from Chena Marina (just outside Fairbanks) to Kantishna (5Z5) - you'll soon see why!
Out of AK28 - the large airport is Fairbanks International and Chena Marina is the strip to the left in the picture

En route and it's not long before Mt McKinley (20320ft) is sighted, with the moon rising behind

Very nice Steve !
RE: North to South legs 3 and 4 - CBreuer - 02-19-2012
Wow Steve, very impressive pictures. But I think your FSX is missing a good mesh for the high mountains.
But it does look good though. Keep them coming along.
RE: North to South legs 3 and 4 - Gatwicksteve - 02-19-2012
Thanks guys - you're right Christian, this is just FSX standard scenery, I expext things will improve soon when I reach the Tongass fjords and ORBX sceneries!
