Best Alaska Scenery

My buddies and I are doing a lot of flying up in Alaska right now with FSX and we're looking for ways to enhance the scenery. Any suggestions on addon packages, etc? We're curious about specific scenery for Alaska as well as broader graphics packages that enhance the typical Alaskan scenery.
Thx,
Papafox

I have three things that immediately come to my mind:
- the Alaska mesh, to improve those mountains http://www.simviation.com/simviation/st ... =147&page=
- the Snow Dog Tours packages (version 4 and 5 only, older ones are obsolete if I understood correctly), which will bring enhancement to A LOT of the alaskan airfields. (http://www.simviation.com/simviation/?I ... 2&mark=443).
- the recent addon from Arnaud Clere that improves the mountain rendering, that I presented in a topic here recently.

With those three things, Alaska will definitely be more beautifull and detailled :)

For southeast Alaska, Holger Sandmann's 'Glacier Bay' and 'Tongass Fiords' are classics and I believe there's something by Raymonde Taburet.  Georender had some photoscenery for FS9 but not sure about FSX.

Thanks much for the suggestions. The new mesh looks good and I'm sure the suggested add-ons will be great too.
