Tongass Fjords X Released

It was mentioned in an earlier thread, but I thought I'd make it official: SE Alaska is open for business for you FSX bush pilots.

Strap on a pair of skis, floats, or some fat tundra tires. There's 30,000 square miles (80,000 sq. km) waiting to be explored.

Great! Any idea when we'll see the version from FSAddon directly? I'd rather buy from FSAddon directly.

There's no "directly" per se, but you can choose either the SimMarket version or the Flight1 wrapper version. We still have to put together the Flight1 installer, but it's coming soon.
 
Great news Bill. I have not flown in the default FSX version on Alaska since I've been using it for the last couple years now. Thank goodness a portion of it it will now be 'open for business'. :mixedsmi:

Oooh, how i hate that word ... 'soon'. Any idea what this means in this context? If this requires a further week I might be temped to use Simmarket... :kilroy:

I am uploading the package to our server.... it is a 1 Gb+ package and our server is not as fast as the simMarket monster...... we may have to find alternate servers for our 'direct sales'.

We'll also have a CD version for those bandwidth-challenged :)
 
Damn those lousy FTPs!!:icon_lol::icon_lol:. Hopefully will get it downloaded today, so I can spin around it during the long weekend:wiggle:.
 
I'll wait for the Flight1 version.

I flew around the default area last night for the last time :wavey:
 
Outstanding! :applause: This is a must buy! Can't wait to see all the details added to this bad boy!


Thanks for all the hard work guys!! Much appreciated!

:wavey:
 
It's really funny. Nothing is happening for months and then you get two sceneries in the same week. Besides Tongass there's also a great looking Mallorca X (that's a bit behind the Hudson river for you guys :bump:) - great island with high res textures and detailled airport.

By the way, are those mule-powered servers there yet? :jump:

Every time I see that "all sales final" statement on SimMarket, I wish I could buy it somewhere else. Now, I can. I will support Francois first and if that doesn't work, wait for Flight1

I'm still not sure if the refund option still stands as they are using the wrapper system but not actualy selling in on the Flight1 website, as far as I know.

Some clarification on that would be good.

(I'll just make it clear by the way that I am not expecting to avail myself of the refund option unless my system struggles with it which I seriously doubt but it is always reassuring to have the option).
 
Great news, F1-version downloading as I write - will take an hour (getting ~300kb/s here) but it's on it's way.

That's because we are having to waste our time quarreling with distributors and (potential) customers, instead of being able to just tend to our work at hand ..... sometimes it just pays to NOT read anything, and just work heads down at the task at hand like a good old programmer .... and leave the world discuss among itself :ernae: Which I am going to do now..... before getting on my motorbike to tend to my OTHER line of work this weekend.

Happy Weekend everybody!

300 Kbps sounds about right for our Texas servers. Using a download manager might help in case connection gets dropped....
