Since you like the GB scenery so much, you may want to check out the Columbia River Gorge scenery he has as well.

Opa has several excellent addons for this scenery as well, including some awesome AI boats & planes. 8-)


All of this should be available here. ;)

[quote][quote]Found out I already had 2.0 on my machine and did not know it. Installed Glacier Bay and I have one comment and one question.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

[color=#000000]I've had the 'Gorge' for a while now and it has been one of my favorite places. Don't get me wrong, it's great. But it's just not quite as good as Alaska. Not because of the programming but because the terrain it has to work with is not quite as good. But Oregon/Washington have been my favorites for a while. And I do love the Gorge scenery. I posted a few shots from there, but I can't seem to find them on my drive. Guess I'll have to do a search for my post and get a copy from there. I like to keep all my posted shots in one folder. But thanks, one never knows.

[color=#000000]Yeah, I saw the news yesterday Paul. Not sure why in my own mind yet, but I'm hopeful. Would say more, but don't want to get into a 'political' discussion.

Go with it - I did and it looks very nice if you're partial to beautiful mountains, fjords, glaciers etc.

How about one or two small screenies for those of us who are interested but terrified?

If you follow the train tracks on the docks in Opa's first shot, you will come across several trains & train stations along the way. 8-)

FYI - for anyone contemplating installing this excellent scenery -

The package use an auto-installer (which I normally never trust) BUT, this is one which you can trust - in fact I think it is the only way to properly install the scenery.

Actually, I trust anything which has Holger Sandmann's name attached to it.  He has likely forgotton more about FS than most of us will ever hope to know - a true genius in many respects.

So, the new Sarah Palin Scenery download won't be available? Too bad, I was looking forward to THAT scenery!
