FS2020 - Yes Bay Lodge, 78K 

....has been completed from the ground up. There are new "objects" that were created to make this scenery location as realistic as possible.  This is a lodge Jimmy Carter once visited, spending the week fishing in the famous waters around the lodge.

You can get it in the express download or by the Manual Download on the Scenery Page under Yes Bay Lodge.ws

Snettisham V2.1

Updated fixinging some internal "build" problems.

• RTMM EFFECTS LIBRARY - Kevin is the mastermind of this library. Any effects that are created will be placed in this library. As the FS2020 SDK changes, we will update the effects in this library accordingly.
  
  RTMM TEST OBJECT LIBRARY - Rod is managing this library. At present, there is only one object in it ... the new "campfire" object. As we come up with new objects we will put them in this "test" library until there are a sufficient number to move them to the main RTMM OBJECT LIBRARY. This keeps you from having to download and install the large library continually.

New RTMM Staff Member

RTMM would like to welcome Kurt "Yoda" Kalbfleisch to the Return To Misty Moorings Staff as one of our MSFS scenery designers. Rod Jackson has been working with Kurt on a new RTMM project for the last month. Rod tells me that Kurt has been applying his experience and technical capabilities in an amazing fashion during that time. You can see a glimpse of some of his latest handiwork HERE

RTMM Add-On complete setups: (By Norm Richards and Rod Jackson

Three all-in-one RTMM complete setups: (Each with complete libraries, all add-on scenery pieces, all supporting/associated content: SimObject, effects, sound, world scenery/ai traffic (AI traffic shipping project), RTMM seasonal switcher and more:

Versions:

1. RTMM Standard Setup (conventional/inside root sim setup/scenery library) version
(For use in FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv1v2v3 (v4))

2. RTMM Add-on (XML) version for P3Dv4
(For use in P3Dv4/All Versions v4.0 through v4.5 HF3)

3. RTMM Add-on (XML) version for P3Dv5
(For use in P3Dv5 version only)

These are all-in-one files that contain all the RTMM scenery and supporting elements primarily for new users who have never used RTMM before or for users using P3Dv4 or v5 that want to switch to an add-on or for any user want to update all their RTMM scenery to the latest versions in an all-in-one download.

These files are @ 2.6 gb and when extracted is almost 8 gb and contain the fully compliment of RTMM scenery. Welcome to Misty Moorings!

You can find a link to this on the RTMM Home Page (right column), on the top of the Scenery Page and the actual table with the information is at the bottom of the scenery page.

• NOTAM 1: PAVD Payware on/off.  When you download either the V5 or NonV5 version, there is an option to change the PAVD scenery so it fits either the PAVD Default or the PAVD Payware. There is a Notam in the file telling you how to do this.
  
  .otam 2: BWEP AI Traffic and Fairbanks X do not work with the V5 version. You must uncheck BWEP_Traffic Planes and BWEP_Traffic Heli and Fairbanks X in your scenery library (if you have them installed).

NEW REPAINT by Klaus - Nemeth Designs Aerospatiale AS350B3

This is a repaint for the Nemeth Designs Aerospatiale As350B3 payware helicopter-addon for FSX and P3d. The paint is also compatible with Nemeth Designs payware Expansion Pack for the AS350 which provides more variants. This repaint represents the fictitious Aerospatiale AS350B3 N350MM mistyASTAR of Return to Misty Moorings. (This is a very large file to download for all the variations ... a long file means a TREMENDOUS amount of time put into this by the author...thank you Klaus!) Look for it at: Enhancements / Repaints / Helicopters ... and the bottom of the table.

Dora Bay LTF - Minor Modifications Update

A missing pier was added to the commuter boat dock area. Also, Rod Jackson's whitewater effects and trailers were added to the tug boats, barges and log rafts giving them the appearance of motion.

REMEMBER: You can always click on the "Refreshed/Update" date ... I am making those links to let you know what changes were made.

Bell 222 N223MM Medical and MFC Repaings by Ilia Prokhorenko

We have two new helicopter repaints by Ilia Prokhorenko for the Cera 222 Sim payware helicopter addon for FSX/P3D.  These are beautifully done. And our thanks to Ilia (a first time contributor) for the beautiful work. You can find them on the Enhancements Page under Repaints/Helicopters.

These have both been added to the MFC fleet.

Flight Planning Bug in P3D V4.3

Just a heads up to people running P3D V4.3. There is a bug with the present version when it comes to loading a flight plan.  If you load an RTMM Flight Plan (From RTMM_Flight_Plans.zip), VERY RARELY will it be a direct flight, there almost always are way points along the way. So if you load a flight plan and see it is "GPS Direct" from the starting point to the ending point, DO NOT "SAVE" Flight information and go directly to LOAD and load it again and it will probably come up with all the waypoints. If you "save", you will save the error and overwrite your .pln file to a new direct GPS route.  So, IGNORE, and immediately LOAD (without saving first) and it should be ok.

This only happens (usually) the first time you try to use the flight planner with P3D V4.3. If you load another flight, you might not see the problem.

We are told Lockheed Martin is aware of this bug and it will be fixed with the next version of P3D.

• This is again the old SIRP with adapted smoke and additionally iced runway. There is now a switch where the user can choose between FSX / P3D and P3Dv4 +. And the user can disable the icy runway if necessary.
  
  The switch is the Scenery Configurator LITE ...
  
  At the end of the SIRP installation you have to run the Configurator. With it, the various scenery components can be comfortably adapted to the individual needs of the user. It is not necessary to save the changes.
  
  The changes will be taken directly when setting the option. You can quit the configurator by clicking on Close (X) The Scenery Configurator Lite comes from 29Palms Scenery Design.
  He will provided to all freeware developers for free.

Skagway for RTMM and SAK (Please Read NOTAM* Below) - By Brad Allen

This scenery attempts to give the city a more turn of the century look and also helps remove any Autogen buildings that sometimes float above the surrounding terrain. Look for more scenery details around the city area and we were careful to make sure that our additions do not infringe on what’s been placed already by the ORBX team. 

We added train objects from our libraries to help enhance the railroad areas around the city. Especially where the narrow gauge White Pass train currently picks up passengers at the Cruise Ship dock area. The nighttime lighting around the city is also enhanced and gives the area a new look and feel so be sure to see this area when it’s dark.

You will find it under "S" on the Scenery Page.


*NOTAM: This is an UPDATED scenery location. If you previously had the fix for Skagway Floating
Houses, you must:
1. Delete the original “SAK Skagway for RTMM” (Floating Houses Fix) from your sim's
Scenery Library
2. Delete the folder from your computer
Next, add “Skagway for RTMM and SAK” the same way you add all RTMM locations. Then
Activate it in your scenery library.

CIRP - UPDATED with APPROACH LIGHTS

All CIRP Ice Stations have now been upgraded to have white flashing approach lights. This will help you locate them in bad weather and help you line up for the runway. This was done in anticipation of the CIRP Tours coming from the Misty Flying Club. Also, all of the smoke objects were replaced (they were demonstrating the "offset-smoke" problem. All are fixed. The only ice station not updated (because it already was) is Summit Ice Station, PF48, no need to re-download that one.

Misty Gustavus (Added 11.17.2017)
Scenery Created by Doug Linn

Gustavus Airport is a perfect location for Misty Moorings Air Taxi Service that can handle
flights into Glacier Bay National Park. There is also a small Medical Center at this new
complex which can handle medical emergencies from the area.

We've added several small scenery locations to this package to give you places to visit in the Glacier Bay area. The Readme has all the details. There is also a TRIPs folder that gives you plans for these outlying locations:

• Adams Inlet Cabin
• Muir Inlet Campsite
• Carol Glacier Campsite
• Carol Glacier Cabin
• Margerie Glacier Cabin (ship viewing)
• John Hopkins Cabin
• The Sisters VOR Station

Misty's Place Update 11.16.2017

Updated the lighting system for the water runway, now matches the runway. Got rid of the rocks at the north end of the runway, put a flatten there to eliminate the hill. Removed trees for the approach. Moved the beacon for better night navigation, landscaped around new beacon location, fixed detached smoke effects (only seen in P3D V4+), eliminated some flashing buoys. Added warning signs at lighthouse peninsula. QC Checked for FSX, P3D 3 and P3D 4.

Chilanko River Sales and Service by Doug Linn PF62 (Added 06.15.2017)

Land Start: N52 6.6429 ... W124 8.9462 ... Mag: 96.5
Water Start: N52 6.4611 ... W124 8.8526 ... Mag: 319
VFR Location: 115 NM East of Bela Coola

Chilanko River Sales and Service has an ICAO designation of PF62. At last, a place to purchase your new float plane, and a full service location where you can fly to and get the undercarriage changed from pontoons to wheels. Need skis? We've got 'em. We even have storage for you pontoons, skis or wheel gear while you are what you have installed. 

You can land at our dock with a float plane. We will pull your plane onto a trailer and haul it up to the workshop where we can change out the undercarriage, then you can use the asphalt strip to take off and fly home.

The facility is located parallel to the runway at Puntzi Mountain CYPU. There is a shorter runway to the south of and parallel to the main 04/22 runway at CYPU. So landing and taking off, you will land on 04R and 22L of the small facility.

Elkin Creek Guest Ranch by Doug Linn (Added 06.13.2017)

Land Start: N51 30.7060 ... W123 48.3004 ... Mag: 086
Water Start: N51 31.2393 ... W123 48.4588 ... Mag: 150
Helo Start: N51 30.7722 ... W123 48.3120 ... Mag: any
VFR Location: 3.2 NM south of Twin Lakes Airstrip (CAG4)

Elkin Creek Guest Ranch is only 3.2 nm from Twin Lakes Airstrip (CAG4) so the best way to find it is fly to CAG4 and fly south for 3 miles. The airstrip is lighted for night and low light flying. There is a float plane dock, but no amphibian pull out. Fuel is not available at this site.

The location consists of a lodge and 6 cabins. The activities include horse back riding, skyjacking, hiking trails and water sports at the lake. Most of what you will see was "engineered" by viewing Google Earth.

Chilanko Lodge CBX3 by Doug Linn (Added 06.13.2017)

Land Start: N51 57.3555 ... W124 53.0379 ... Mag 151

Helo Start: N51 57.3407 ... W124 52.9549 ... Mag: any
VFR Location: 47 NM West of Scum Lake CAW3

A small lodge with an airstrip, registered as CBX3. The lodge is down near the water. There is a float plane dock there with fuel available. The airstrip has night lighting, a fuel pump and plane parking area. There is a helipad and an active windsock.

This is an enhancement of the ORBX PNW location by RTMM.

Germany North POI's for PLAN G - Now at Dieter's Corner at Misty's Place

From Dieter: If you have Orbx scenery Germany North installed you might be interested in the PlanG csv-file for the area. Not yet complete but about 90% of the POI's are included. (about 650 POI's at this stage, i.e. lighthouses, wind parks, churches, castles, towers, chimneys, bridges a.s.o.)

Bob's Bay Cabin by Doug Linn
Starting Position at Location: N55 12.6226 ... W133° 9.7150 ... Head: 250
VFR Location: 6 nm Southeast of Waterfall KWF

This locations consists of a small "A" Frame cabin on an inlet of Bob's Bay. This is only about 6 nm southeast of Waterfall, but staying over water at low altitude, the distance is about 10 nm. Be LOW and SLOW on the final turn, the landing zone is narrow and short.

Under "B" on the scenery page.

Hidden Inlet Retreat by Doug Linn 
Starting Water Position at Location: N55 0.7167 ... W130 20.7562 Mag: 178
Starting Land Position at Location: N55 0.8095 ... W130 21.0230 Mag: 338 
VFR Location: 37 NM North of Prince Rupert

Hidden Inlet Retreat is a fictitious retreat situated in the "Hidden Inlet" ... in the USA, but almost in Canada! This resort is accessible only by air or water, there is no road transportation to it. It consists of a rustic resort hotel with dockage and a small airstrip. The airstrip has night lighting so dusk and night flights are possible on this airstrip.

Water/Heli/Land/Boat - The scenery location can be accessed by float plane, having a dock on the water and also by wheeled aircraft by having a short airstrip behind the retreat complex. There is also a helipad. You can take off away from the retreat (toward the valley and mountains) as there is plenty of room for a "U" turn to head back out over the water. There are two flight plans, one coming out of Prince Rupert (for wheel aircraft) and a second coming out of Port Simpson SPB for floats/amphibs. Both are in the RTMM Flight Plans.zip and both are in the folder for this package. And if you are in the mood for a cruise, this resort is accessible by boat from any port in the world!

Hilton Head Island Water Flatten - Doug Linn

KHXD on Hilton Head Island is my "home" airport. In P3D there is a significant water anomaly off the north end of the island extending all the way across the bay to Phillips Island. Its about 4 miles long, and a trough about 40 feet deep and 1/2 mile wide. You'll never notice it coming in to Hilton Head, it blends into the water, but if you try a float plane in the area or a boat ... it is significant.  I finally got tired of it and fixed it. I also fixed up both shorelines affected where the water was "piling up" on the beach.  I put the fix up on the beta page (top table) if any is interested.  Go to Scenery/Beta Area/look for Hilton Head Island Water Flatten. I've got a PDF in the package that shows how to install it and pictures of the problem and a map of the affected area.  Most people won't need this, but if you do, there it is.

New Object Libraries -
BWEP Latest Object Library
New COMBINED "Medical" and "APP" libraries

Get ready for BWEP Richardson Highway ... it is (almost) in the mail!  It is going out this morning to the RTMM team for a final check.  To get ready for it, be sure to add the latest BWEP Object Library.

FSXP3D WH_BWEP Objects_SW   1/3/2017   ---  download from the BWEP page

Be sure you delete/replace your old BWEP Library.

Steve has combined the two TEMP libraries (Medical and Alaska Power Project APP) into a single object library.

RTMM Medical and APP Libraries FSXP3D 1-6-17 --- download from the Object Library Page.

Go into your sim.
Go to Scenery Library
Disable the old RTMM Medical TEMP object library
Disable the old RTMM APP TEMP object library
Add the new RTMM Medical and APP Libraries FSXP3D 1-6-17

Remember, once you disable a library, be sure to physically remove it from your simulator.

The Lodge at Black Rapids is now OPEN for business. 

This is another in the continuing series of locations that are being placed "along" the BWEP pipeline route. When BWEP Richardson Highway comes out (soon), you will see the pipeline going across the back of the lodge property.

This location comes with the RTMM Season Switcher capabilities. New objects were created by Steve Weinkamer and Dex Thomas has added his magic putting AI Aircraft, floats and ski, out on the water in front of the Dock Store of the lodge.

We tried to make this as real as we could. We did add a couple of fictitious elements to make it more fun for our simming community. There is an airstrip, a helipad and a dock so we can handle all of our aircraft niches. To see the real lodge, and make this experience even more realistic, we suggest you go to the website for "The Lodge at Black Rapids".  They have a great website with a lot of information on the lodge and roadhouse. 

Our special thanks to the management at The Lodge at Black Rapids for giving us permission to use their website pictures to make this a more realistic location for your enjoyment. You can contact them at: 877-825-9413 | 907-388-8391 or make reservations through their website listed above. 

You will need Global Base and Global Vector for this scenery location. Although the real name of the facility is "The Lodge at Black Rapids" ... for our scenery library, etc, we are giving it a file name of "Black Rapids Lodge" so look under "B" on the Scenery page.

This locations works only with Global Base and Global Vector. Also, be sure to download and install the latest BWEP OBjects library (on the BWEP page) and don't foget to install the EFFECTS included in that library.

Lake Louise Lodge - New for BWEP Area

NOTAM: This is a scenery location for the BWEP area. That means you will need Global Base and Vector to see it correctly.

Lake Louise Lodge is ready for download. This is a "real" location about 30 miles west of Paxson.  It has two airports, one is Z55 and the other is 13S which is a water landing.  We tried to place the lodge and surrounding area as close as we could get using Google Earth.  There are other cabins and a Brad's BBQ along the south shore of the lake as you head from the lodge to the airport.

This one has a season switcher ... so if you are using it, remember, the "seasons" in this area are a little different than in the rest of the world. You need to use the following:

Winter: November, December, January, February, March
Spring: April, May
Summer: June, July, August
Fall: September, October

So if it "November" ... you set the season switcher on WINTER and set the Simulator on WINTER. Both have to be set correctly.

Klutina Outfitters by Doug Linn and Steve Weinkamer

This is a fictional lodge and camping area at the eastern end of Klutina Lake, above Valdez. The flight plan takes you from Valdez Pioneer PAVD up over the Valdez Glacier behind Valdez and down to the valley ending at Klutina Lake. This is an excellent salmon fishing area.

The scenery has the RTMM Season Switcher capabilities. All four seasons are represented. There is an airstrip for wheeled aircraft and plent of water landing space for the float planes. In the winter and spring, the lake is frozen. (Be careful not to run over the ice fishermen on the lake).

Now available on the scenery page.

NOTAM: You will need the latest BWEP Objects Library (Link at location download area).

GPS 500 Basic Tutorial

Several people have asked questions about the GPS 500. Many folks beginning with RTMM find they need some help with understanding how the GPS 500 from Garmin works. I've created a basic tutorial for folks so they will better understand the operation of the "gauge."

You can find it on the FAQ page under "G" for GPS.

New "Misty Colors" Repaints by Klaus Troeppner for the Aerosoft Beaver

Well, it was about time we put a paint job on the old Beavers, they were getting a little rusty. When I saw the beautiful job Klaus did with our new BWEP repaings (coming soon), I had to ask he he could give the Misty Beavers a fresh coat ... and he did!  With excellence. You can download the new paint scheme on the Enhancements page, go to repaints and scroll down, you'll find the picture below ... click on it on the Enhancements Page .. you'll get the paint!

Thank you Klaus!!

• The real Kispiox River Steelhead Camp is situated in a valley of the Kispiox Range area, straight to the western banks of the famous Kispiox River, about 43 NM northwest of Smithers/CYYD. So it's not surprising that a fishing camp was established here. The owner is a relative of Harald Gabler, author of this scenery.
• This scenery with the short dirtstrip, about 1200 ft in length, is built on the same site. The scenery is fictional and doesn't represent the original camp site. The camp, sitting in a remote pristine stunning wilderness area, invites anglers of all skills to experience a successful terrific fishing
• Kispiox River is famous for the catch of different species of fish especially huge steelhead trout. It's a paradise for anglers from around the world. Spent some relaxed delightful days in comfortable accommodations equipped with a cozy parlor, fully furnished kitchen, shower and WC. This way you are independent from any lunch time. Create your own daily routine. You are provided with everything you need to maximize your fishing experience, boats, fish cleaning, smoking/freezing and even transportation to the river, if needed.
• You can reach the camp via road. It's about an hour's drive from Smithers or about 40 minutes from Terrace by SUV. Additionally the small airfield allows a fly-in by small GA-aircraft. Fuel and aircraft service is offered to a limited extend. Don't hesitate to ask Jack the experienced mechanic for support. You will find him at the airplane repair shed during summer time.

Update:   The original folders for Bear Observatory and Yes Bay have been put back online. Some did not feel the waterfalls were a problem, so we will leave them in. If you have P3D 3.1 as I do, be sure to put in the different waterfall effect. The waterfall effect for P3D is in: RTMM Required Object LibrariesFSXP3D Part II_1-7-15found on the Object Library Page.

Bear Observatory Update 

I am "flying" all of the flight plans. I am updating the flight plans where there are problems trying to make all of the autopilot friendly. While flying these, when I find problems, I'll be fixing them. At the Bear Observatory, the "gen_waterfall" object was "misting" out about a quarter mile, you couldn't see the scenery there. I eliminated the waterfalls and the scenery is now much better.  If you download the zip on the scenery page, Bear Observatory is Updated.

Yes Bay Lodge Update

The "Gen_waterfall" objects were taken out of the stream, replaced by the "fog" object.

Updated Flight Plans

I am also "updating" the flight plans for RTMM and the USFS Cabins. I've finished the "A's" and the RTMM Flight Plans.zip is now updated. (It is on the Here 2 There page).

New Plan G File for Vancouver Island North by Dieter Linde

Dieter has given us a new cvs file that will update your Plan G and give you the locations in the new Vancouver Island North scenery (by Brad Allen).  As always, Thank you to Dieter for this special effort for us.  You can find it at Misty's Place, under Dieter's Corner. Look for RTMM Vancouver Island North link. Download the file. Go to Plan-G and Manage Date ... import and point to the downloaded file.

• The rugged north island region of Vancouver Island is a year-round outdoor adventure paradise offering a wealth of recreation opportunities and world-class sport fishing. Teeming with wildlife, the North Island provides plenty of rewarding opportunities for nature enthusiasts and photographers. Much of Vancouver Island once looked as the north island still does today. Only 3 percent of the island population lives on the northern half of Vancouver Island, and North Island communities are known for their warm hospitality and friendliness. Many of the more remote resorts and hideaways are accessible only by chartered float plane or boat. Suggest using Port Hardy (CYZT) as your main airport for operations in this region of Vancouver Island.
  
  The Vancouver Island Project will take the visitor to many of the different areas and regions of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and other nearby destinations. Some small enhancements have been added to various locations like unlisted airstrips, coves, docks, logging operations, etc.

(Updated)

Tezwa River Ranch - Version 1.2 (Update)

Brad sent us this update for the seasonal files that come with Tezwa River Ranch. Issue: Seasonal files included in the archive were incorrect. Cause: "Fall" was incorrectly set as the active default season and it should be "noseason" as the default. Affect: Users who make their season selections using our "RTMM Season Switcher" utility change initially from noseason to their preferred season. If no seasonal switcher utility is being used, then without this update, fall season would've been displayed. This issue is now corrected by removing the previous installation of this location from the simulator and replacing it with this version being installed.

NOTAM: When we do these updates, we ALWAYS suggest that you: "Be Safe, Replace!" Don't "copy these new files over" to the old folder. Take it out and replace it with the new one.

Swan Lake Hydro Deleted - by Doug Linn

Swan Lake was a fictional site, it has been deleted because a new "real" proposed site will be placed there that has a "lake tap" system (no dam). If you have Swan Lake, I suggest you delete it. (Also, for later reference, Thomas is making a "Swan Lake" that is a REAL facility down toward Wrangell. Do not get confused and delete that one ... it will be 'inside" the zip for the Alaska Power Project. The Swan Lake I deleted was a separate download. The new replacement for it will be "Cascade Creek". Watch for it soon.

Alaska Power Project Update

Several new locations have been added to the Alaska Power Project. This is a joint effort of Thomas Menzel and Doug Linn in an effort to put in the presently-operating hydroelectric plants in the RTMM area as well as depictions of the ones that are "proposed." The page is still in "beta" so don't expect it to be error free (and if you see an error, let us know). Although we have tried to make the scenery fun for float planes and amphibians, this scenery set is especially interesting for helicopter pilots. There are many "elevations" for each site and we have placed helipads in many places. To see the latest, go to the "APP" page ... HERE.

Announcing the new RTMM Medical Dispatch Selector utility by Rod Jackson.  

Now you can quickly look at what Medical Dispatches you have active or inactive, select one and look at the associated Map and Destination Hospital or look at multiple Dispatches and multiple Maps.  You can easily activate or inactivate a Medical Dispatch or a group of Medical Dispatches in your simulator.   All you have to do is download the latest version of the RTMM Medical Dispatches folder (which now includes Version 1.0 of the RTMM Medical Dispatch Selector) and read the updated install instructions.  You will be ready to go in just  a couple of minutes.  This is a fantastic little utility!  Here is a quick pic:

The Selector is so easy to use there is no manual.   Have fun and get it today! You can find it HERE at #2

Many thanks to Rod Jackson for this EXCELLENT utility!

It was recently discovered that the RTMM server was downloading an older version of The Western Chugach v1.0 than was meant to be released.  As of 9:10 PM EDT on April 26, the download was corrected to v1.0_3.   For those of you who downloaded v1.0 of The Western Chugach - Part 1 before that time, please use the directions below to download a small update package that will enable you to update your v1.0 to v1.0_3.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Directions: Go to the bottom of the SCENERY page ... in the "Beta Test Area" and click on the zip button there to download: TW Chugach v1.0 update to v1.0_3.zip

ORBX PAHO Payware conflict with Halibut Cove - Temp Fix

RTMM has discovered that the ORBX PAHO payware extends its customized 5m mesh all the way into Halibut Cove (10 miles away) which ruins the pre-existing RTMM Halibut Cove scenery custom terrain and object placement. We have notified Alex Goff and Holger Sandmann at ORBX of this problem. RTMM is hopeful that ORBX will create a manual patch for RTMM or an update to their Payware so it does not encroach on our pre-existing scenery which is well outside of the ORBX PAHO documented coverage area.

In the meantime, we have a very good workaround for our RTMM users. Simply go to ....\Prepar3D v2 or FSX\ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_PAHO\Scenery folder and add a .off extension to the Orbx_PAHO_mesh_5m.bgl file so that it becomes Orbx_PAHO_mesh_5m.bgl.off.

The result of turning this file off is that Halibut Cove remains the beautiful scenery it is and 99% of the ORBX PAHO payware is displayed properly. The only significant problems to be found at Homer are when the aforementioned file is turned off, the road from Homer spit into the airport becomes a bit elevated and bumpy as it goes up the hill and some of objects along the road on the spit are a bit sunk into the ground. These minor problems are not obvious unless flying right along the ground. In addition, the RTMM Jonas Bros location at Beluga Lake is more on a cliff than before but that is not a big deal We won't change the Jonas Bros Beluga object placements t for now in case ORBX is able to reduce the overreach of their mesh file.

NEW SCENERY!!  The Western Chugach Part 1 by Rod Jackson

The Western Chugach - Part 1 adds isolated enhanced areas of true-to-life scenery that begin at Mile Marker 13.5 along the Seward Highway heading North from Seward, Alaska and end at Mile Marker 46.0 which is just above the Summit Lake SPB (52Z). Isolated terrain and object enhancements along the way stretch up to 5 miles on each side of the highway and include trails, campgrounds, homes, commercial areas and the town of Moose Pass. Detailed maps of the points of interest along the highway are included. 

The Western Chugach - Part 1: From Seward to Summit Lake (52Z) is the first part of a four-part scenery series that features super-detailed Alaskan wilderness scenery built on top of ORBX SAK based on real-life. 

This is an amazing package that not just adds objects to the terrain, it also actually changes the terrain in places to make it even more realistic.  It is a vast area to explore. You will see two MedEvacs for this new scenery on the Medical Facilities page, and a V3 Trip Ticket is available to get you introduced to this complex package. Read the "readme pdf" very carefully, there are many details you do NOT want to miss in this package.

Look for it under "T" (The Western Chugach) on the Scenery Page.

Pacific Northwest Scenery Collection - Datapoints for Plan-G by Dieter Linde

Here are the Way Points for Plan-G. You can find them at "Dieter's Corner" on Misty's Place. Simply click on the link there, then import this new way point set into Plan G. 

"Dieter's Corner" now has it's own table on Misty's Place and its own button at the bottom of the buttons at the top of Misty's Place. This has become a very important part of our operation and needs a special place. All our thanks to Dieter for these fine contributions that all of us use every day!

These are two separate packages. We will be using the Vancouver Int'l SPB for "starts" often. It was left out of ORBX PNW, so we "fixed it up" a little, gave it a fuel pump and a windsock and it's own ADEX file (so we made it an airport), and it can be used for starts for Plan-G planning and journeys. It also has a "dock" starting point. You can download the Vancouver Int'l SPB from the Scenery Page under "V". Whistler Mountain is a world-class ski resort area that people from all over the world come to enjoy. It is about 70 miles from Vancouver Int'l, where most people will fly into. So if you want to experience what it would be like to getting to Whistler Mountain, you can fly to Vancouver Int'l in a commercial jet liner, then take a bus over to the Sea Plane Base there (CAM9), and fly in a float or amphibian to Whistler Aerodrome (CAE5) ... experiencing virtually the "real" trip. The scenery along the way is stunning.

There is a trip ticket (version 3), that guides you along the route and a flight-seeing flight-plan that allows you to use autopilot all the way to enjoy the scenery. (Notam: watch the altitude, you start at 1200 feet but go to 3200 feet!). The Whistler Aerodrome is also a "real" airport, CAE5, and we have positioned it exactly where it should be on Green Lake near the mountains. This location also has a "dock" starting point. Our rendition is better than the real one because there is a Brad's BBQ waiting for you when you arrive at the dock. This scenery works with the RTMM Season Switcher so pick your season before you fly. Also note that the lake freezes in winter ... you have to be careful not to run over the ice fishermen on the lake when landing in winter. Also you will need skis or Tundra and that will have to take of from Vancouver Int'l, NOT the SPB. (But you can still "hook up" with the flight plan easily to make the trip. You will find this scenery under "W" on the Scenery Page.

RTMM GOOGLE EARTH KMZ by "Rustam" (Vüqar Quliyev)

Another update in this marvelous KMZ file from Vüqar. This includes the Lynn Canal area and some other minor modifications he has made. You can find it on the Here2There page.

Misty Moorings DoDoSim B206 by Steve Downing

This is a repaint for the DoDoSim B206 payware helicopter-addon for FSX.
This repaint represents the fictitious B206 N040MM of Return to Misty Moorings and includes Float, Low Skid, High Skid, and Utility variants. There are 4 variants in this update.  This update was done using a freshly install DoDoSim B206 and depends on files added during that installation.  If you do not wish to use all 4, you MUST install the textures for all 4 anyway and then just do not put entries into the aircraft.cfg for the ones you do not wish to use.

Lynn Canal and Chilkoot Area CSV files for Plan-G  - By Dieter Linde

The datapoints for Plan-G are now ready at Dieter's Corner on the Misty's Place Page under "Starting Points." These will add the locations to Plan G for you.

• Today, a new spirit of adventure leads the Misty Moorings aviation services to start operating flights in this remote area of Alaska. As they planned new flights and adventures, they found this old airfield and it was ideal for a new base, close to their area of flights in the Glacier Bay and Juneau area. All the old buildings were repaired and some new ones were built. A DC-3 is used out of this airfield during the spring and summer months to bring winter supplies in. A full time staff is on hand all year to maintain the airplane service business and a small bar called "The Misty Bar" is located here to cater to the bush pilots who stop by.

Barnstormers by Xavier Carre' and Chris Losh

This is a redone and now re-introduced scenery location done by Xavier Carre' with some additional scenery locations by Chris Losh. We have combined these into a single rendering, so read the instructions carefully.

This is Bush Flying at its BEST! A beautiful high plateau area in British Columbia, deceivingly "simple" for navigating, and 100% capable of getting you completely LOST!

Combined, the package has over 30 locations with several new small airports. The attention to detail is excellent. Carefully go through the Readme.pdf that is enclosed in the download and you will have a good preview of what enjoyment you are going to have with this re-done, beautiful package. You can find it on the Scenery Page under "B".

NOTAM: New Barnstormers.cvs file at Dieter's Corner at Misty's Place

UPDATE- New "Return to Misty Moorings.kmz" file for Google Earth - by Vüqar Quliyev

Here is an updated kmz files that has even more details for the RTMM areas, "a few small changes - added a few locations at Hang'em High Resorts, and NDB identifiers and frequencies, as published on Airport Facilities Tables". You can find it on the HereToThere page ... look in the top index. You simply click on the file to open it in Google Earth. There is a readme with it that will help guide you through the amazing detail of this piece of work from Vüqar. You can find it [url=http://return.mistymoorings.com/here_to_there/#kmz][u][b]HERE[/b][/u][/url]. Take to time to get "into" this work, this is the most detailed information there is on RTMM. Our thanks to Vüqar for this fine addition and update.

New Fuel Pump at Misty's Lighthouse - By Doug Linn

A minor change at Misty's Place. We didn't have a fuel pump for float planes, you had to have an amphibian or wheeled aircraft to get fuel up by the "bar". Now there is s fuel pump out on the dock at the lighthouse, so it is a quick place to get a "splash" and go on your way.

Scenery Object Library Part III

Steve Weinkamer, with a little help from Rod Jackson have expanded the number of objects we can use in RTMM.  Steve has also begun making his own objects, many of which will show in the new locations that are being uploaded today.  If you already have Part I and Part II, there is no need to download these again. You only need to add Part III.  When you do download Part III, read the instructions for installation completely and carefully.  Often we just rush to install these things ... but we have to be VERY CAREFUL on the Object Library Folders because they are SO critical to success with RTMM.  Remember also, we have a new Topic on the Forum for Scenery Object Libraries ... if you have problems or questions with these, you have a place to go to discuss the problem you are having and there will be people there to help you out.  Please don't be shy. The Object Libraries are the most difficult step in enjoying RTMM ... we are there to help you through this critical step.

Also, the Scenery Object Tester has been updated, a new object at position #9 (Brad's BBQ) has been added so you can make sure your new Part III library is working properly.

The new Part III Object Library is ready for download on the Object Libraries Page.

You can get there from Misty's Place, click on the Object Library button.

Brad's BBQ Stewart CZST  by Doug Linn

Using some of the new objects that Steve Weinkamer has created for us (the new Brad's BBQ) we have positioned a new "Brad's" straight off the runway for CZST.  There is fuel there for you now, and another fuel station was placed by the fence at CZST for those of you needing fuel and flying CIRP.  This scenery location uses the new objects in the Part III Object Library.

Hang Em High Resorts  - by Doug Linn

Taking advantage of the new objects we have in the Part III Object Library, "Hang Em High Resorts" is now ready for download. There are two lodges, one far above on a mountaintop and a second one down below at the water level.  At the top location, there is a short and very small runway that can handle very small aircraft ("Cub size"). There is a similar small runway below ... these are very short and for ultralights and cubs only. There are helipads above and below. 

On the edge of the cliff, a launcher has been placed. A tiny concrete runway that goes out over the edge of the cliff. Coming off this with an ultralight is a real thrill when the "bottom drops out" below you and suddenly you are at 3500 feet!!  You can also use the "jumping man" parachute object (discussed in the readme). You can jump off the launcher, free-fall for a while, then open your chute and land at the lower lodge. Parasails and ultralights are a lot of fun.  Also, there are animated parasail objects ... two circling above the top lodge, one "landing" at the upper helipad, and one landing at the lower helipad.  Just sitting back watching the parasails is a lot of fun.

Nearby, about halfway to the logging facility at Dora Bay, you'll find a new Brad's BBQ.  This one is on a barge that has a helipad on the back of it, a new object created by Steve Weinkamer.  You'll see this object often as we place it almost anywhere. There is a matching tug boat that can pull it around (not in this scenery package). When you go TO the location, an amphibian or float plane is necessary (unless you are flying a cub or an ultralight). The scenery package is ready for download from the Scenery Page under "H". 

See a beautiful VIDEO for Hang Em High by Robert Pomerleau HERE   ... Don't miss it!!!

The new Part III Object Library is necessary for this scenery location.

Misty Moorings Bell 407 Repaint by Klaus Troeppner

Many have asked for Klaus' beautiful repaint of the Bell 407 in Misty Colors. You can now download it from the ENHANCEMENTS page. For the rotorheads among us, this is a great addition to your virtual hanger.

NOTAM: To find things easier on the Enhancements Page (and any RTMM web page), remember to use CTRL+F for windows and Command+F for Mac ... then enter what you are looking for in the search box. In this case, add "Bell 407" and Klaus' new repaint will be found for you. Click on the image to download the file. (I've put two "reminder" buttons at the top of the enhancements page for the FIND.

Misty's Place Remodeling -(V8)

Too many people have been going into the wrong door at Misty's Place, and ending up in the maintenance area of the old hanger instead of the bar. So we've remodeled it a little to give our visitors an easier way to find the "correct" front door. Misty's Place is a converted hanger with a friendly gateway in what used to be the hanger door. We've even got a greeter on the porch now.

Wilson River Lodge - To/From Flight Plans (to Misty's Place)

To and From flight plans have been created for low and slow to and from Wilson River Lodge and Misty's Place. Both LAND landings, no water (select wheels!). Although this is an airport (PF25) and you can fly to it direct, there was no low/slow plans to reach the lodge and fly back from it. You can download the plans from the Scenery Page under Wilson River (look for FS button) and it is now in the RTMM Flight Plans zip on the Here2There Page.

Trip Tic - Corner Bay Docks to Gilbert Bay SPB and Airfield

This is a V3 TripTic ... meaning there are screenshots of the turns and visual instructions. You can fly these VFR, or use the gps to "tip you off" to the turns ... or the autopilot to fly low and slow and just sit back and see the beautiful scenery. This route is east/west south of Juneau. You will need Tongass X for the TripTic and the RTMM Docks scenery package. About a 25 minute flight. You can find it at Here2There under TripTics/Tongass X area.

You will need Tongass X for this and the "RTMM Docks" scenery package. This gives you 19 updated little airports (float). These are "real" sea plane bases and lighthouses.  I'll be making a series of Trip Tickets to go between all of them.  We have another package called SAK Sea Plane Bases, which is similar but for ORBX SAK. We will also be making trip tickets for those eventually.  We are going to keep them separate (Tongass X and SAK). If someone only has Tongass X, then s/he should be using only the Tongass X flight plans, etc).

These will be found on the HERE2THERE page in the Trip Tickets area.  These will be all "non-location" tickets, meaning we don't have a "scenery package" (like a cabin or lodge) at the end of a flight. All of these will be (little) airport to airport flights.

RTMM Flight Plans - updating regularly

If you are using the RTMM Flight Plans package, keep an eye on it. We are updating it regularly as we are finding things to "fix".  The latest "fix" will be posted at the download page for it (Here2There) with the "update date".  I'll not make a notam every time we update it, but keep an eye on it if you are using these, they are changing.

Also, flight plan maps for Josephine Lake, Staney Creek Cabin have been added to the Cabins page. They were previously missing.

Nina's Landing Update - Sound

We have been experiencing problems with the sound files at Nina's Landing. We've decided to take them out. If you already have them, look at the zip you downloaded and eliminate the sound files.

New Trip Ticket - Wasilla to Seward (overland route) Flightseeing Tour

I created a trip ticket (V2) that takes you from Wasilla to Seward past Lawing on an "inside" route going through the mountains rather than around over water. This is the first of these kinds of Trip Tics. Most of ours go from an airport to a location. But we do not have any from airport to airport. I intend to highlight some of the lesser known float plane bases with many of these. If you go to the Here2There Trip Tickets area, you'll see a new lower half of that table. That is where we will store the non-location trip tickets.

AI Shipping Wakes in P3d (pink wakes, etc)

There have been some comments on the forum that the wakes on the AI Shipping (boats) are not correct, some showing a pink wake. Dex Thomas has repaired this problem ... and he did it about 3 months ago. So the fix is already on the AI Shipping Site, you will find it in the second table (HERE). You will see a button for Wake Fix for P3D. Click on that and execute the instructions in the readme and the problem will be solved.

Nina's Landing Update (New file added 09.11.2014)

An iceberg has appeared out of season at Nina's Landing ... global warming folks are telling me it must be an error since all the ice is receding, but there's a more accurate answer ... we were testing an "ice object" during the DX10/P3d object conversion process and the iceberg remained after testing.  It has now been melted ... which now all the proof for the global warming crowd needs, the icebergs are even melting in RTMM!  (We aim to please).

We are not sure "when" this happened so cannot tell you whether or not you have an iceberg. If you do have one, then download the Nina's Landing scenery location, remove the Nina's Landing folder from your sim's scenery addons and put in the new one dated 09.11.2014.  If you don't have an iceberg ... there is NO NEED to re-download this file ... all I did was melt the iceberg, nothing else changed.

RTMM FLight Plans Updated

There was a problem with Josephine Lake (didn't upload correctly with the internet glitches we were having on 9/10/2014, sorry).

If you downloaded yesterday, redownload this file: RTMM Flight Plans.zip   Go into your sim's "document" folder and remove the "=josephine lake USFS cabin.pln" ... dated Sept 10. Open the downloded folder and select "'josephine lake USFS cabin.plan ... dated Sept 11 and paste it into your sim's document folder.

A: Misty's Place (Small update)
B. VA Airlines tables moved
C: RTMM Flight Plans Zip
D: New Featured Location - Josephine Lake USFS Cabin

A: Made some MINOR changes at Misty's Place. Added "Misty's Place Bar" sign to the building along with an "Air Services" sign. At the docks at the far end of the runway, moved the light poles from the ends of the docks back to the shore so a float plane could park there without ripping off the wing.

B. Moved the Virtual Airline tables from Misty's Place to the "Here2There" page. When you click on the button at Misty's Place, it takes you to the new location for these.  If you have not explored VA ... these are two excellent choices for you to try.

C. Josephine Lake USFS Cabin Plans updated

D. A new "featured" location, Josephine Lake USFS Cabin. A very simple scenery, and a flight that begins simple and ends in some white-knuckle complexity.

St Paul Airlines and RTMM

St Paul Airlines has contacted us and asked if we would be interested in working with them. They would like to be adding "low and slow" flights to their ample book of flight plans and we can offer them over 700 plans to and from sceneries in Return to Misty Moorings. And we hope to always be at the front of the line to welcome visitors to our special area. It is always exciting to meet with new people who share our love of virtual flight. You can look at their extensive web site HERE.

We will be seeing the SPA pilots show up on our forum ... and they will probably have their name and an SPA number in their signature (so you can know who they are and welcome them). Something like this: Yoland SPA348.

Our site is not the easiest one to get "around" since it is one of the largest of its size. So when you see a "seemingly lost" pilot with the SPA logo on his sleeve come through the door at Misty's Place ... be ready to give them a great welcome and also be ready to guide them through some of the basics of Misty Moorings. Don't be surprised if you get an answer in French (a language we hear often at Misty's Place) ... just use the Google Translate and carry on since we have NO PROBLEMS with posts in a language that is only foreign to "us"! :-). We also invite our French-Speaking members to give SPA a proper. For those of us "mired" in English ... start with "Ayez une bonne journée, Quel est votre nom?"

Many members here at RTMM enjoy VA's, here is a chance to work with a very professional outfit that is interested in working with us. They will be using our scenery locations and our flight plans (Plan G, SAK, PFJ, PNW and Tongass X). So if you have the desire to file a PIREP there, you will be familiar with all of the tools you already use here. And if you are doing some flying with them, you can give them some guidance to Misty's Place in their forum.

We welcome SPA to our area, and will be ready to give them a hand and guidance through the Misty Moorings virtual scenery and web site. Getting set up is the hardest part, and we can help. Giving people a wonderful journey to remember is the goal! Welcome SPA!

The RTMM Team

Here is their announcment to SPA Pilots

PLAN-G and Using Waypoints Table Added

We are still getting many emails with people asking how to choose what to fly to first, or what to download first, etc. To help those people and to help you choose your next flight, we added a table on the Here2Therepage. This gives the links to Plan-G for downloading the free program. It also links to the csv files that Dieter Linde has made for us. Once you have Plan-G and the waypoints (csv files) you import them into Plan-G. Then when you look at our area in Plan-G, you will see ALL of the RTMM locations, including the USFS Cabins. So you can browse a map and look for an interesting area. You then get the name of the waypoint from the Plan-G map (instructions at table), then select the TO or FROM flight from the RTMM Flight Plans package.  Also, if you do not have that scenery location, you will know which scenery location to download next.  Browsing Plan-G with the added waypoints is a great way of selecting your new flight.

The new "how to" table is located HERE

Doug's Outfitters Updated - 

We found 3 missing files in the Doug's Outfitters including PF29, the folder was updated 09.01.2014. If you downloaded after June 2nd 2014, you may want to download again to have the latest.

To/From Flight Plans are available for ALL RTMM locations! - by Doug Linn

The "To/From" flight plan project has been completed. We now have flight plans for all RTMM locations, this includes the 231 USFS cabins. The "TO" plans are designated with a "=" prefix ... these take you from the airport TO the location. The "FROM" plans are designated with a "#" prefix...these take you FROM the location to the airport. For the "FROM" plans, you will have to "position" your aircraft at the mooring point using the Latitude, Longitude and Heading given for that location (set Altitude to Zero and Speed to Zero). The latitude and longitude for each location is on the Here2There for all RTMM locations, and on The Cabins web page for the USFS Cabins. Once you position your aircraft, you then go to the flight planner and load up the "#" plan for that location. Once you take off, you can use the autopilot to take you back to the airport.

This gives you over 760 flight plans helping you get from Here2There. Instructions for the process are in the attachment below. All USFS cabins have a "USFS" designation in the title of the plan so you will know this is a USFS cabin. The plans are alphabetical based on location name, so you can more easily find them in the full set of plans. If you want a plan "FROM" the location, you choose the name of the location with a "#" prefix. If you want to go "TO" the location from an airport, you chose the name of the location with a "=" prefix.

You can get the To/From Flight plans for all RTMM locations at the Here2There Page and you can get the To/From flight plans for all the Cabins on "The Cabins" page.

Way out "west" of Ketchikan is a beautiful area on the coast where Brad Allen has created a Cannery. This is a medium range flight (45 min) and if you fly low and slow will also take you over Hunter Bay Cannery, which is always worth a landing to check out! The flight plan starts you at Misty's Place and guides you west to Port Bazan.

Port Bazan is on the west side of Dall Island, and is a safe port for the local fishing vessels who need a sheltered moorage during bad weather. It lies between two prominent mountain peaks about five miles apart. The northwestern mountain is 2,500 feet high and the top is a small bare tip. The southeastern mountain is 1,950 feet high and is roughly the shape of a rounded cone and heavily wooded all the way to the top. Port Bazan is about 3 miles in length, averages 1 mile in width and is largely filled with islands of various sizes. Dolgoi Island, nearly closing the entrance, is 1-1/2 miles long and 3/4 of a mile wide. It is mound shaped and wooded and while the seaward shore of the island is storm swept and bare of vegetation, the rest of the island is heavily wooded. This island protects the rest of the cove from the wrath of the Pacific during storm conditions.

Port Bazan can be entered either southeastward or northwestward of Dolgoi Island but the northwest entrance is preferable. This anchorage is the best on the west coast of Dall Island because it is thoroughly sheltered from outside swell and the configuration of the mountains is such that it is reported that storm surge winds are never felt. Look for various fishing vessels in the harbor and the channels as you approach the cannery. There are channel markers that should be used for reference inside the cove.

Rainbow Mountains Lodge (PF19) by Brad Allen

Brad is "back in the saddle" ... new computer, new sim and some more new scenery for RTMM!  Glad to have him back and here is his P3D Debut, Rainbow Mountains Lodge (PF19).  This uses the scenery switcher, changing seasons at the location.  You can find the new location under "R" on the scenery page.  The Here2There zip maps have been updated to included this as has the Starting Points Table on Here2There.

Herring Bay Seaplane Base and Tail Dragger Diner by Doug Linn.

Brad Allen made one of the original "classic" scenery locations for us when RTMM first started up. And Herring Bay Cannery has always been a favorite. It is one of the locations in the "Legends" package for beginners. I fly there often after a day of working, just to take a short flight from Misty's Place, enjoy whatever weather is thrown at me and head for Herring Bay. The Cannery is a sight to see. But WAIT, THERE's MORE ... If you call now, we'll DOUBLE your OFFER ....:-)

We've added a little Tail Dragger Diner across from the cannery. You can park at the dock and head in for a VERY fresh fish sandwich. Or you can sit out at the picnic tables and just marvel at the scenery in Herring Bay. We've also added a little Seaplane Base (SPB) at the end of the inlet. This has a dry ramp, so if you have an amphibian, you can roll up onto the concrete, get a little gas or get the windshield cleaned!

If you haven't already got Herring Bay Cannery ... (well shame on you!) You should download it first. Then add the bonus offer of the Diner and the Seaplane Base. Then, as I do, just take the flight in the evening after all the work is done. It is 15 minutes from Misty's Place and 15 minutes back. There is a TO and FROM flight plan for each direction with instructions. Look for the new location on the scenery page under "H". Sorry, it is not compatible with the ORBX PayWare PAKT SP1.

FEATURED LOCATION:Hollis Harbor - by Rod Jackson

This is an exceptional scenery location, and if you do not have it yet added to your RTMM collection, now would be a good time to do so. The flight TO this location is one that can take you low and slow among the soft, greenery covered mountains. And at the end of the beautiful flight? An absolutely perfect scenery package ... one you will want to look at "up close." Look for it being featured on the top of the HERE2THERE page.

A Misty Tale - A story by Bryan Kirk - Bryan Kirk contributed 3 chapters of "A Misty Tale" to the site back in 2005. Brad recently remembered this effort and I pulled down from the old site and "updated" it with all the pictures so it could be viewed on RTMM. This is a story about the background of Misty's Place. We wish Bryan was still around to write a few more chapters for us. Thank you Bryan (where ever you are) and hat tip Brad! You can see it HERE

FedEx Terminals (Combined Package) b Brad Allen We have combined the 9 separate FedEx terminals into a single download, fixing the scenery as we went to make sure everything was compatible. The new package is ready. If you downloaded any of these before, delete the folders and "areas' from your simulator and add this one folder.

Reverse Flight Plans (RTMM Location to Airport) - by Doug Linn Now available on the Here to There Page. You can place yourself at the RTMM location using the STARTING POINTS, then you can use your flight planner to select the flight plan FROM that location back to the airport. The instructions and the file is on the HERE to THERE Page.

Cabins by the Lakes - Starting Points and Flight Plans - All of the starting points for all THIRTY of the cabins are now on the Starting Points page on the "Here to There" page. If you click on the name of the location at the starting point, it will bring up the map so you can view what your flight would be like. Also, all of the flight plans were renamed so they could fit alphabetically into the Flight Plan.zip file you can find on Here to There.

This is an important piece of work by Brad and we will "feature" it soon on the Here to There page. If you like Bush Flying at its best, tiny cabins to find on beautiful lakes ... this is a "must have" package. As much fun flying TO them is using the Starting Point, seeing the cabin, then flying BACK to the nearest airport "direct" on the GPS.  Either direction, the view is beautiful.

First Quality Control (QC) pass completed. Almost everything has a green or yellow "light" on the logo. The ones that are red are going to take some special attention (ones with season switchers, etc). I went through all of the locations looking for "alien" and "undefined" models (objects). I deleted the Undefined Models, we didn't find any "alien" objects. Everything is showing perfectly in P3D, FSX and FSXDX10. Next, we download those with a yellow light to make sure the downloads work correctly and that we have the necessary files for each location. The lights will turn green as we go through this process.

Server Cleanup: I also cleaned up all of the folders on the server, over 300 of them. The only files residing on the server for each location now are the zip file you download and the map, thumbnail and large pictures that show on the web page.

Flight Plans - Every flight plan (from those that are green or yellow) are now in the Flight Plans.zip (Here to There Page/Flight Plans). We had to make 3 new flight plans for locations that didn't have one. Any location that is an airport itself does not have a flight plan. You can download this zip, copy what is in the folder and paste it into Documents/Flight Simulator X Files/ for FSX or Documents/Prepar3D vx/ for Prepar3D. This will give you flight plans for almost all of our sceneries. These all start with an "=" sign so they should all be grouped at the top of your Flight Planning Library. They are also in alphabetical order for the location name.

Dispatches Links --- were broken. Thanks to Rein Kamphuis (Netherlands) for spotting this for us. We fixed the links and Rein confirms they are now working. (We really appreciate people letting us know when something is out of place or not working). Fixing those makes the site better for everyone. "Hat Tip" to Rein!

"How to Install" Button: We know there is a problem with some of the "old" installation instructions in the old readme.txt files. Many discuss the old scenery libraries and how to download and install them. We've put a new ReadMeFirst.txt in to all of the updated folders. Also, there is a new little button on the button row at the bottom of each scenery location ... "How to Install". That is a button that links to a FAQ discussing how to install our scenery locations here at Misty Moorings. I'm sure we will be expanding that FAQ ... but for now it is a reminder that some of the old instructions are no longer valid.

Taku Lodge: We also received permission from Holly Johnson at Taku Lodge to use their name and logo. We sent Holly screen shots of the lodge and she has thanked us for them. So now that we have permission, we can repost Taku Lodge. This is a beautiful piece of work done by Xavier and Jacques ... it was a shame to keep in hiding ... now it is where you can get it yourself on the Scenery Page.

Owikeeno Lake Area - Updated - See README PDF HERE

Scenery: There are 33 (documented) scenery locations in this package. We designed this
package keeping three things in mind … helicopters, boats and airplanes! The linkage of all
the scenery location follows our standard of believing that “getting from here to there” is
probably more important than what you left behind in the rear-view mirror or see in the
windshield ahead. It is the journey that counts. With this package, you can get in a boat and
tour a beautiful lake, make many river runs and make long distance boat trips … even to Misty's
Place … miles and miles to the north.

River Runs: There are several “river runs” (or float plans) that are included in this scenery
package. Some of the rivers are accessible by only small fishing boats and some can handle larger
craft. All of the rivers are “river-scaped” meaning we have added interesting things for you to
see along the way. You will have a “starting point” (mooring point) for each river trip. You use
the “MAP” feature in FSX and put in the latitude and longitude coordinates along with the
heading, setting the altitude at zero, and you will be ready to begin your adventure. Those
coordinates are given for each float trip. All coordinates or “starting points” are in the Map
Room at Misty's Place.

PF50 Pacific Gateway Airport Updated: PF50 has been updated. It now has an NDB (PAGA) on 344. There is night lighting that can get you to the runway safely if you arrive after sunset.

If you have not downloaded Owikeeno Lake Area, now would be a good time. Also, for those of you using DX10 and P3D, the updated folder completes the experience for you.

TWEAKING for New FSXP3D Library - We are now going through a process of tweaking our scenery files to make sure they are compatible with all three platforms, FSX, DX10 and P3D. We are also changing or replacing objects that didn't show in one of the platforms, or ones that should not be in the scenery (wrong library). As we get these done, we will highlight the more important ones for you here in the NOTAMs.

Much of the work being done at RTMM right now is not so visible to our fan base. To give you an example, the "readme first" that is in many of our locations explains EZ-Scenery addition ... now not necessary with the FSXP3D libraries. So we are going through each download file and changing the wording. These kinds of things take time and are not too "news worthy". We will be having some new locations to support some of the new Airports coming out by ORBX. But most of our time is in "cleaning up" after the major changes we've made. Bear with us on the lack of news and know there is a LOT happening. (The RTMM team has not gone fishing!)

POP Project - Library Consolidation

Our main developmental thrust at this time is in converting and reorganizing the object libraries. Our goal is to have the RTMM site compatible with FSX, FSXDX10 and Prepar3D. As you know there are thousands of objects, some even automated. Steve Weinkamer and Rod Jackson are spearheading this effort for the team. They are using a two-step conversion process to make all of this happen. This is an excerpt from Rod's latest status report (these can always be found on the Objects Library page at the top of the POP section or HERE

Prepar3D Objects Project (POP)

We have made our scenery locations all DX10 ready ... meaning they all now are visible in FSX and DX10. We are now taking the next step. We are converting our libraries to be compatible with the coming Prepar3D. This is a very large project using a two step conversion process. Thousands of objects are involved. We are doing this with the object author's permission only, except where no author can be identified and it is considered public domain. Steve Weinkamer and Rod Jackson are spending HOURS of time on this project to insure that all of you will be able to enjoy RTMM in ANY format, FSX, DX10 and P3D.

You can keep up with the work being done on the Scenery Object Library Page under the POP section (toward the bottom). Rod is giving us updates on the project and his latest update will be at the top of that section so you can keep up with Steve and Rod's progress. Doug is "placing" the objects at our new "Kahoolowe Testing Ground (and old military testing ground southwest of Maui). This is a major project for RTMM and most of our "developmental effort" is going in this direction. (No, we did not get permission from the EPA to populate Kahoolowe ... we simply flew in and conquered it!)

NEW RTMM OBJECT LIBRARY

Put together by Rod Jackson, this new object library replaces the old one you have (see the pdf enclosed). You will need this for the upcoming scenery Fillmore Cove. This has some beautiful new objects in it, some of these from our latest objects designer, Murray Bremmer (Yardreamer).

Fillmore Cove by Murray Bremner (Yardreamer)

The landing at Fillmore Cove is an excellent fly-in starting point and hub for several inland wilderness camps located on the Canadian and US border encompassing the southern edge of the Misty Moorings Alaska. There are many lakes, streams and rivers that are still quite pristine and close to Fillmore Cove that provide for a very productive fishing experience. There is also fantastic hunting for moose, deer and elk when in season. The bear population is quite healthy with Black, Brown and Grizzly. A a warning is issued to those who do not have experience. They will not be allowed to go past the landing boundaries without a guide. Please be aware this part of Alaska is remote, beautiful and bountiful but can be quite dangerous to the inexperienced. There are several logging roads throughout the area but not all roads are maintained or monitored and are subject to washout during rainstorms. Please use them with extreme caution.

This is a beautiful new addition from our latest team member, Murray Bremmer. Welcome aboard Murray and thank you from all of us for the beautiful scenery!

NOTAM: Be sure to download the new RTMM Object Library to use this new package.

Nina Cove Lodge & Cabins - By Brad Allen

At Nina Cove Lodge, there's something for everybody. The fishing is excellent! Fish for salmon, halibut and bottom fish in world famous waters. Fish local lakes and streams for steelhead, rainbow trout, or dolly varden. Head out with a local guide and boat to take you fishing for a day long adventure. You can even rent your own skiff and go saltwater fishing or just out exploring. Just outside the lodge, the scenery and wildlife are spectacular! Photograph bear, eagles, deer, and river otters in their natural habitat. Hike and beachcomb wilderness beaches and trails. Walk on our over a mile long wooden boardwalk out to Gualtier Pier for some light tackle fishing or just a great way to walk out over the water. We even provide small tackle box carts you can use to get your gear out to the pier.

Action adventures abound! Camp in the great nearby outdoors of Alaska. There are four nearby cabins you can use. Scuba dive in coves and inlets in clear pristine waters. Kayak hundreds of miles of isolated and protected shoreline. Canoe the famous Misty Canoe Trail. There is something for everyone! Go bird watching or whale watching. Dine on our world famous Nina Cove Trout. Take the family for a picnic and swim in the nearby pristine lakes. Visit local towns nearby such as Klawock, Craig and Hollis. Take a helicopter trip over to the nearby Long Island Fire Tower for a spectacular view. How about a flightseeing adventure out to Forrester Island. It's home to one of the largest bird colonies in the world. All of these adventures await at Nina Cove.

Seaplane and boat moorage points are plentiful. There's also a designated Helicopter landing spot on the dock. We even have our own seaplane repair facility. We are a full service operation that welcomes you with spacious and cozy lodge rooms that invite you to relax and enjoy the natural beauty at Nina Cove Lodge. (Look for it under "N" on the Scenery Page).

Port Bazan Cannery by Brad Allen Special Thanks to Terry Carr

Port Bazan is on the west side of Dall Island, and is a safe port for the local fishing vessels who need a sheltered moorage during bad weather. It lies between two prominent mountain peaks about five miles apart. The northwestern mountain is 2,500 feet high and the top is a small bare tip. The southeastern mountain is 1,950 feet high and is roughly the shape of a rounded cone and heavily wooded all the way to the top. Port Bazan is about 3 miles in length, averages 1 mile in width and is largely filled with islands of various sizes. Dolgoi Island, nearly closing the entrance, is 1-1/2 miles long and 3/4 of a mile wide. It is mound shaped and wooded and while the seaward shore of the island is storm swept and bare of vegetation, the rest of the island is heavily wooded. This island protects the rest of the cove from the wrath of the Pacific during storm conditions.

Port Bazan can be entered either southeastward or northwestward of Dolgoi Island but the northwest entrance is preferable. This anchorage is the best on the west coast of Dall Island because it is thoroughly sheltered from outside swell and the configuration of the mountains is such that it is reported that storm surge winds are never felt. Look for various fishing vessels in the harbor and the channels as you approach the cannery. There are channel markers that should be used for reference inside the cove.

Muddy Lake Airstrip by Brad Allen

Muddy Lake is an isolated airstrip located 66 nm ENE of Juneau and sit's amid the peaks of the Chechidla Range. It's a very dangerous airstrip to not only navigate to and from, but land and take off from as well. The West end of the airstrip is heavily sloped downhill and has uneven terrain on either side of the airstrip. As you land, be sure to maintain the center line of the gravel airstrip or risk flipping the aircraft over. You'll find a welcome warm cabin in winter to rest in and a couple of outhouses await if needed. This airstrip is mainly used by the local population for supplies and medical help. It's also used a lot by campers and hunters in the area.

Cabins by the Lakes (Added 12.16.2013)
Scenery created by Brad Allen
Storyline by Brad Allen

In the remote areas of the Yukon Territory, British Columbia and coastal Alaska, it's a constant struggle for survival for man and animal alike. Visit these cabins and you'll learn to not only appreciate the natural beauty, but the remote solitude around you. British Columbia, the Yukon Territory and Alaska are all steeped in history and cover a land of unlimited adventure. From the towering Rocky Mountains to the rugged Coast Range and then on to the Pacific Ocean, this part of North America promises the visitor some of the lands most breathtaking scenery.

Take yourself back in time with a stay in one of the many public use cabins throughout region. Split some wood and then head inside to light a blaze in the wood stove under the light of an oil lamp. Enjoy the warmth as your gear dries out from a long journey down the mighty Yukon River or on an icy traverse across a glacier. Or whether it be on a recreational float or hunting trip, you'll have plenty of adventures and memories to treasure for a lifetime after visiting these shelters of comfort.

This scenery uses seasonal scenery so you'll need to install the RTMM Season Switcher Utility by Rod Jackson if you haven't already. Also, Special Thanks to Urs Burkhardt for Westwood Inn object permissions and to Dieter Linde for Plan G Waypoints file.
Very Special Thanks to Guy "Spud" Maricich, Rob Abernathy, Klaus Troppner, Steve Weinkamer and Rod Jackson for beta testing.

NOTAM: Cabins by the Lakes version 1.0 is a new scenery project by Brad Allen that includes 30 locations found in the back country of the ORBX/FTX region "Southern Alaska". There are many locations that also include seasonal switching abilities using the Season Switcher tool by Rod Jackson found "Here" at RTMM.

Kloo Lake Airstrip by Brad Allen and Steve Weinkamer

Kloo Lake is located within an Indian settlement and is just 13.2 nautical miles northwest of Haines Junction, in the province of Yukon Territory, Canada. Whether you’re spinning, baitcasting, fly fishing or trolling your chances of getting a bite here are good. It's just off the Highway One and is accessible by small aircraft and floatplane. There is a short airstrip at this location and a dock. So grab your favorite fly fishing rod and reel, and head out to Kloo Lake.

New Sounds for Beaver X - by Steve Weinkamer

"Here's a set of replacement sounds that I created for the Aerosoft Beaver X. I've flown in actual Beavers numerous times and I never really liked the fact that the original Aerosoft Beaver sound files didn’t capture the deep, throaty sound of the real thing. There’s nothing that can quite compare to the sound of a DHC-2 approaching from the distance and then dropping in on top of you at the dock!" Steve

(Enhancements Page/Sounds)

Norandex Mining by Steve Weinkamer - This is Steve's first scenery addition for RTMM, we WELCOME Steve to the site and thank him for this excellent addition. Here are the details:

Coal, not gold, is the reason Homer, Alaska exists today. First mined from seams along the north shore of Kachemak Bay by the Russians in the middle 1800s, coal was soon mined economically by American companies within the next decade. With coal mining came miners, and the town of Homer was established at the end of what is now called the Homer Spit. A little railroad, Alaska’s first railroad, carried coal from the underground mines to the end of the spit where a large wharf had been built to accommodate shipping. In the latter part of the 19th and the early part of the 20th Centuries, a small coal mining operation worked the Sadie Cove area, which is located 11 miles from Homer, in the Kenai Peninsula. The Homer area coal industry was in decline by the 1930's, and today’s residents still collect chunks of the black shiny stuff from the beaches to keep themselves warm during the winter. It’s found mainly north of Bishop's beach, where it is abundantly strewn after big tides and storms break it from the seams.

In the early 1990’s, a logging operation was established at the southern end of Sadie Cove not far from the old coal field. In 2005, during the course of logging operations, rich deposits of zinc, lead and copper were discovered in the area. A joint partnership between Noranda Mining of Quebec, Canada, and ExCo Deep Exploration and Development was formed, and several years later the sprawling Norandex mining operation went into production. Today the logging operation is nearly completed while the mining complex undergoes rapid expansion, currently running at 75% capacity.

A 70’ by 2200’ lighted gravel runway serves the entire complex. (Watch out for an occasional meandering bear!) New construction of maintenance facilities and employee housing is underway near the southern end of the runway. Aviation fuel is available on the east and west sides of the runway by navigating between the cones and pulling to a stop in front of the fuel tanks with the east side fuel station providing helicopter fuel as well. Avgas is also available at the small seaplane dock located on the southwest side of the cove across from the port. Pull up to the dock in your float plane, grab a free soft drink from the cooler on top of the fuel pump and say hi to “Pontoon” the friendly dockside dog “welcoming committee.”

Tillei Lake Cabin and Airstrip by Brad Allen - Tillei Lake Cabin offers visitors several options for arrival including a dock on the lake for floatplanes and a small dirt airstrip for wheel and ski aircraft. This airstrip is only safely approached from the lake side. The airstrip slopes up from the lake and remember that during normal flight operations at backcountry airstrips, it calls for landings to be made uphill and takeoffs to be made downhill. On an upslope runway, it is possible (and probable) that you can be deceived when approaching an upslope runway by an illusion of being higher than normal. This leads to a lower-than-normal approach. Problems arise when the density altitude and upslope terrain restricts airplane performance so that the power available may be insufficient to make it to the runway.

Wolverine Airstrip by Brad Allen - This airstrip is a great location to begin your adventure at in the Yukon. It's made of dirt and gravel and is well maintained although you will find that it needs grass cut near the edges of the airstrip in the summer months. There's a tractor left at the airstrip during the spring and summer and if you get the initiative to give the airstrip a trim, the tractor keys are kept inside the outhouse on a hook. The airstrip is also used by the Yukon Zinc Mining Corporation for supplies delivery and operations to/from the nearby Wolverine Project Mine.

• NOTAM: Both of these two new locations utilize seasonal scenery files so users should download and install the seasonal switcher utility by Rod Jackson. You can find it at the top of the scenery page in the "legends" table click on Season Switcher V 3.3.

Scenery Object Tester Pic Updated - Our thanks to Jeroen for catching a problem with one of the objects in the picture, and our thanks to Rod Jackson for the "fix." The new picture is on the Scenery Object Page and is now correctly showing the object in "Slot #9). Note, you will not see Object #7 if you are using DX-10 Preview.

Boya Lake Provincial Park - by Brad Allen. Boya Lake offers scenic camping and a wide variety of water recreation with its superb water clarity and colour, beckoning the traveller to explore its many islands and bays. Boya Lake is situated on the Liard Plain, an area carved out by glaciers 20,000 years ago. The area is characterized by elongated ridges, or drumlins and eskers. Boya Lake is also one of the few lakes in the north that is warm enough for swimming. Boya Lake offers two short hiking trails, a mountain bike trail and limitless bays and islands to discover by canoe or motor boat. The lake is noted for its colour and clarity. The bottom is composed of marl, a mixture of silt and shell fragments. The crystal clear waters and aqua-marine lake colour are a result of the light reflecting from the marl bottom.

Tincup Lake - by Brad Allen. Tincup Lake Landing is a small fishing lodge that attracts tourists during the season. Anglers, campers and hunters arrive from nearby Burwash to Tincup Lake located in the Canadian Yukon territory. Buck, the owner of the lodge, used to be a helicopter pilot in Viet Nam and still owns a small Hughes Chopper he flys in occasionally. There are two heli pads for any helicopter pilots that visit the location. He's constructed the lodge and lives there year round. It's a constant challenge to keep the lodge up and he has plenty of projects that need attention. But he has a bush plane, boat and a jeep so he can reach the supplies he needs in various ways.

Slide Show of Bear Island (The Last Resort) by Trex3D is been posted at Misty's Place under slideshows and also there is a link to it on the Scenery Page under "Last Resort". If you want to see what you are getting, run the 40 slide slide show, excellent work and much appreciated.

The Last Resort - And Sourrounding Area (Chitina-Kennecott) by Doug Linn The Last Resort is a multiple location resort on Bear Island located in the center of the moraine of the Chitina Glacier. There are two parts to this package, (1) The Last Resort and (2) The surround area, Chitina-Kennecott). The are found under "L" on the Scenery page one above the other.

The first gives you the resort with the multiple locations on Bear Island. Many are with helipad so you can go from the airstrip to any of the outlying locations. The second part of the package is the surrounding area for Bear Island. Here I've placed actual cabins and landing strips that are on the Alaska sectional close to their "real" positions. There are over 20 new locations in this "surrounding area" package. There are already several airfields already in the area from SAK, so adding the new landing strips and the Bear Island Strip, there are many place to go to and fly from. Unlike many RTMM packages, this package will require tundra-equipped aircraft. The "lakes" that show on Plan-G are not lakes, they are moraines (silt and sand) from the glaciers with rivers and creeks running through them. So many of the locations have "hard" landing areas. There is a trip ticket that gets you from Wasilla to The Last Resort with much historical and geographical information to enjoy on your 1.5 hour flight. If you want to get a better "fix" on where all this is, flying the trip ticket will get you oriented. But so far, that is the only "directed" flight we have for this area, perhaps others will follow). Getting from "here to there" ... you are on your own, just like the brave people who fly this area every day.

This is a more "difficult" package than others we have created for the sim pilot. There are only maps like sectionals ... these show you where the locations are located, but do not take you to them. You have to figure that out. Also, many are without landing strips ... meaning a tundra landing (any way you can!), some dangerously sloped (Doubtful Creek). Also with the multiple airports and locations, you can practice flying from different airstrips and locations. Don't miss the Kennecott Copper Mine historical site. (We even slipped a little runway in there (on the road) so you can see it up close if you like. You will notice roads at the mine and roads on Bear Island. This is taking advantage of the new road technology in Instant Scenery 3. You can "drive" the roads, but it is recommended you use slew if you do, they are very bumpy.

We hope you enjoy this new package and this beautiful new area to explore.

NOTAM: The FSDiscover "rtmm.dat" file is updated and includes all these locations. Go to Misty's Place, Map Room.

Small Update at Misty's Place - By Doug Linn - Navigational buoys have been added to the "channel" coming from the lighthouse area to the ramp for amphibians. If you are careful, you can now navigate this channel at night. Also the approach area has been re-designed. Obstacle lights warn of rocks at the end of the runway. Lighting was changed to stop "flickering" (Conflicting lights). You can download the latest on the Scenery Page under "M" for Misty's Place. The screenshot of the new approach is HERE. (Also with the "HERE" link we are testing the new IMGUR.Com image upload/download system...notice the screenshot you view is hosted at IMGUR, not RTMM).

Dispatch 17 - Update - Added KM to distances. Also added a VOR/Airport relationship chart so you can use the ADF to find the airports.

Dispatch 17 - Kenai Area Airports - By Doug Linn There is a new dispatch you can find at Misty's Place ... #17, Kenai Area Airports. As we learn our new areas of SAK, we will give you dispatches and tickets that make you more familiar with the area. This one is in the V2 format for a Dispatch, working like a trip ticket. You can find it HERE. From the dispatch, you can download a Flight-Seeing plan that will give you autopilot for the entire route.

Misty Moorings Ops (Updated) - By Doug Linn We made some changes that dropped the FPS about 50% (mostly night lighting changes). Also added the Dispatch button to the location on the Scenery Page.

OUTDATED ... NOT ACCURATE

NEW OBJECT LIBRARIES - In preparation for the introduction of Halibut Cove, we have added the new object libraries (CeyX and RTMM). You will need the objects in these updated libraries to enjoy the spectacular Halibut Cove coming out VERY soon. It would be a good idea to get these downloaded and all set to go. You can find them on the Objects Library Page. Note also that there is a new RTMM OBJECT SCENERY TESTER that reflects the new libraries. You can download this from the "zip" button there and install it like any other scenery. You then place yourself at the coordinates given on the Scenery Tester Picture using the "MAP" feature in FSX ... what you see should look like that picture. If something is missing, you will know it ... each item is numbered. You can find all this on the OBJECTS LIBRARY PAGE. Halibut Cove is our best effort and result yet ... be ready for it!!!

Iskut Village Airstrip by Brad Allen - This scenery gives the Iskut Village airstrip some enhancements and objects. Eddontenajon is an unincorporated settlement in the Stikine Country of the northwestern British Columbia Interior in Canada. It is located along the Stewart-Cassiar Highway on the northeast side of Eddontenajon Lake and comprises a small commercial centre as well as the community It should not be confused with the original Eddontenajon Post Office, now renamed Iskut which is a few miles farther north at the north end of the lake. The name means "Child walking in the water" in the Tahltan language. Thanks to "Jon" for the suggestions. (Please read and follow all installation instructions carefully for this file to work properly)

SAK Sea Plane Bases by Brad Allen - This scenery will add some shoreline enhancements to several seaplane bases in the Southern Alaska region (SAK), developed by ORBX/FTX. The AI Seaplane enhancement this scenery is designed to work in tandem with is the Return to Misty Moorings SAK Seaplane Bases AI Traffic developed by Dexter Thomas. You need to also have Tongass Fjords X from FSAddon installed to make use of the AI Aircraft models. Please make sure that all three of these requirements are met before attempting to use this scenery or you will not enjoy the full feature set it was designed for. (Be sure to read the SAK Installation Txt File)

RTMM Objects Library Updated - Doug Linn Xavier Carre has given us some minor new objects that we will be using on The Cabins update. Those objects are now included in the RTMM Objects Library. (Go to Misty's Place and click on the Object Libraries button, then download and install the new library (takes about 20 seconds to download).

Also, 19 "missing" cabins have now been added at the continually updating "The Cabins" page. There is a thread on the forum to discuss this under Addon Scenery.

"The USFS Cabins" Page Update - by Doug Linn

Phase 1: With the addition of SAK, we have a new group of cabins for you to fly to and discover. All of the cabins included in SAK are now documented on The Cabins page. We have decided to put ALL of the USFS cabins in for each of the districts. You will see many entries with "red" coordinates ... those are cabins that are not yet "in" the various scenery areas. However, anything in "black" is there with a link to the real cabin, pic of the FSX cabin, map to the location and a flight plan. This completes Phase 1 of this project

Phase 2: We will now begin to fill in the missing locations. When we have a section done, we will alert you here on the NOTAMs. The zip file for "the missing cabins" will be updated, as will the readme in it (letting you know what is new, etc) and the FSDiscover! data file for the cabins will be updated. When you see the number of cabins listed on "The Cabins" page now, you will understand the magnitude of this project. It will take a great deal of time, but we will be continually working on it for you.

Phase 3: This work will include the oil platforms and updates on any lighthouses in SAK. (Don't hold your breath for these! :-)

Although work will continue, "The Cabins" page is fully active for the locations that have been placed in the scenery ... enjoy. Chek the updated page here.

Skagway Floating Houses fix for SAK by Brad Allen You may have noticed "floating houses" in the Skagway AK area. The SAK folks forgot to tick off some "autogen boxes". Brad was able to discover the problem and give us a fix for it. You can find it under "Skagway" on the Scenery Page. There is a "full" and a "lite" version. The "full" version will slow down the framerates a little. If you have that problem with FSX generally, use the "lite" version. Both are posted for you. Here is how Brad describes the entry:

• This scenery takes into consideration the FSX bug where autogen objects appear to be floating in the air when you arrive at Skagway. I have attempted to remedy this by placing other objects underneath the offending "floating" houses and this seems to remove them. This is thanks to the tickbox in Instant Scenery that protects autogen from being removed, not being selected. I have also added a few other objects to give the town a little more to look at. There is a factory with moving equipment and smoke from the stack. A chalet down near the harbor. Larger warehouse buildings in the center of town where that factory is located. Colorful buildings were selected to give the town a new look. There is a pub by the airport and a mansion as well. And I did a shopping area down near the wharf with restaurants, gift stores and people milling around. I also added a couple of cargo cranes to the docks to give it a little to see as well.
  

MISSION - Dispatch #004 by Jeff Greene. This is a mission I created for "Return to Misty Moorings" community, and it's based entirely on the "Dispatch 4" scenario created by Doug Linn and Brad Allen for Return to Misty Moorings. Almost all of the text in the mission is taken directly from the dispatch 4. It is on the Missions Page.

REQUIRED SCENERY ADDONS from Orbx and RTMM: For this mission to display correctly, you must have Orbx Pacific Fjords addon installed, as well as "RTMM's" US Forest Service cabins scenery addons from "Return to Misty Moorings", included in the FTX PFJ service pack 1.

This series has been replaced by the GoTo Table

The Legacy Collection is Launched - This is a 35 location collection of sceneries for "beginners" at RTMM. Our hope is this will give them a jump start getting involved in the complexity of RTMM. It is a way for them to download 35 locations and activate them all at once. Anyone can use it, but if you already have locations that are in the Legacy collection, then you must deactivate them in your scenery library for FSX. The locations in the collection contain NO upgrades or updates ... they are the same ones you probably already have. On the scenery page, any location that is part of the Legacy Collection is labeled with a small cabin icon next to the zip download button.

Whiskey Cove by Brad Allen and friends! - Here is a "must have" scenery location for you from RTMM. The team has gone all out on this one. You have Air Traffic, Boat Traffic, Sounds, Opening Hanger Doors, Birds, a whole community laid out before you and on and on. There is also our FIRST control panel that Rod Jackson has created for us that allows you to "step up" or "back off" on the complexity of the package ... helping low frame rate computers keep up ... or turning the faster ones loose! Follow the instructions carefully. Our thanks to Dex Thomas and Rod Jackson for their input on this one. Look under "W" on the Scenery Page.

NOTAM: Updated to make Control Panel work with XP. (02.04.2013)

Gilbert Bay - By Xavier Carre & Brad Allen. Now ready for your download, Gilbert Bay is the latest addition by Xavier and Brad .... very well-done scenery location, new buildings and features, helipad, SPB and Runway. You will find it under "G" on the Scenery Page. Enjoy!

Stewart Airport - By Brad Allen. There is now a little scenery package for the PAYWARE Stewart Airport, you can find it on the CIRP page. NOTE: You have to have the "original" one for the Default airport.

There are five different seasons available in this scenery. All you have to do is select your time of year and the trees and surrounding terrain will change accordingly.

NEW MISSION - Dispatch #3 by Jeff Greene - This is a mission I created for "Return to Misty Moorings" community, and it's based entirely on the "Dispatch 3" scenario created by Doug Linn and Brad Allen for Return to Misty Moorings. Almost all of the text in the mission is taken directly from the dispatch 3. You can find it on the MISSIONS page.

Bella Coola Marine - by Dex Thomas. Dex has added some shipping to the Bella Coola area and has added some new textures. You can find this on the Shipping Page.

PNWAISP (Shipping Traffic for Pacific Northwest is Released - By Dex Thomas, Rod Jackson and Brad Allen. Go to the RTMM AI Shipping Page.

Return To Misty Moorings (RTMM) is proud to bring you the Pacific Northwest AI Shipping Project (PNWAISP). This is part of several extensive AI shipping enhancement projects for the areas of coverage we do. Conceived by Brad Allen but made possible by the combined talents of Dexter Thomas and JJ, PNWAISP will add many ships to the Pacific Northwest region.

You'll see custom ships that Jan repainted and used for this project as well as default FSX and other models. Dex has put together many new traffic routes (tracks) that will populate the larger bodies of water throughout the area. With this enhancement, you will see numerous cruise ships, various cargo, container and other commercial shipping vessels bringing tourists and goods to the area.

PFJAISP (Shipping Traffic for PFJ) is released - by Dex Thomas, Rod Jackson and Brad Allen. Here is the latest in A.I. shipping traffic for RTMM. This is a huge area that now has 128 new shipping tracks for your enjoyment!

Return To Misty Moorings (RTMM) is proud to bring you the Pacific Fjords AI Shipping Project (PFJAISP). This is part of several extensive AI shipping enhancement projects for the areas of coverage we do. Conceived by Brad Allen but made possible by the combined talents of Dexter Thomas and Jan de Jong, PFJAISP will add many ships to the already active Pacific Fjords region.

You'll see custom ships that Jan repainted and used for this project as well as default FSX and other models. Dex has put together many new traffic routes (tracks) that will populate the larger bodies of water throughout the area. With this enhancement, you will see numerous cruise ships, various cargo, container and other commercial shipping vessels bringing tourists and goods to the area.

Waterfall - by Doug Linn The Waterfall area, which was only a cannery, is now a community complete with boating traffic, an active waterfall and many things to see along the way. There's a boardwalk almost a half mile long you can walk down ... fully landscaped. You can drive up to a lodge too. This area already had AI Float Planes, but now, thanks to Dex Thomas, it also has fishing boats. A special thank you to Rod Jackson who created a "stream" leading to the waterfall ... prior, it was just barren land. Magical people create magical things ... download it and enjoy the magic. Under "W" at the Scenery Page.

Scenery Object Tester Updated - The Scenery Objects tester was updated and can be found on the Objects Library Page. (This is for Xavier's newest library ... item #7 on the pic)

Barnstormer.csv for Plan G - by Dieter Linde The new csv file that adds the locations of Barnstormers Part One is now at the map room under Dieter's Corner.

Barnstormer Data Update - By Doug Linn The RTMM.zip file for FSDISCOVER! is updated with all of the Barnstormer (Part 1) locations. Also the Misty's Place Starting Points are now up to date for this excellent scenery location. You can download the RTMM.zip at Misty's Place Map Room or HERE

Barnstormers Part 1: Tweedsmuir-Nechako By Xavier Carre' & Jacques Alluchon

Return To Misty Moorings is proud to welcome you to the beautiful area of the Tweedsmuir Provincial Park and Nechako Reservoir on the east side of the coastal mountains in British Columbia. This scenery package is Part 1 of 2 that makes up the RTMM Landscapes for PFJ
Scenery series. Part 2 will cover the Chilcotin Plateau, B.C. area.

The eastern part of the Tweedsmuir area, around the Nechako reservoir, is mainly an agricultural area. To the North, West and South are wild areas with mountains, hills and valleys covered by forest or open meadows. The purpose of this detailed scenery package is to render this beautiful country, using photoreal, handcrafted ground polys and landclasses. I have tried, with the great help from Jacques Alluchon, to bring this part of British Columbia to life. You will find airstrips, arms, ranches, sawmills and many other interesting locations with custom buildings throughout the Tweedsmuir Provincial Park and Nechako Reservoir area.

Tongass Fjords AI Shipping Project (TFAISP) - Available for download from the new RTMM AI Shipping Project Page. (Here) Return to Misty Moorings (RTMM) is proud to bring you the Tongass Fjords AI Shipping Project, (TFAISP). This is our first of what will be several extensive AI shipping enhancement projects for the areas of coverage we do. Conceived by Brad Allen but made possible by the combined talents of Dexter Thomas and "JJ", TFAISP will add many ships to the already active Tongass Fjords Region.

You'll see custom ships that "JJ" repainted and used for this project as well as default FSX and other models. Dex has put together many new traffic routes (tracks) that will populate the larger bodies of water throughout the area. With this enhancement, you will see numerous cruise ships, various cargo, container and other commercial shipping vessels bringing tourists and goods to the area.

There are thumbnails for all of the ships and boats involved in this project along with larger screenshots and a "ship spotters checklist" you can download to see how many of the ships you can find plying the waters of RTMM.

Repaint of Manfred Jahn's Basler BT67 by Jon de John - Here is a beautiful repaint in the Misty Moorings colors of the Basler BT67. A freeware plane. Our thanks to JJ for sharing this with us. You can find it on the Enhancements Page, under Repaints, the latest entry at the bottom. Thank you JJ.

Twelve Mile Inlet Rafting Station - By Doug Linn Rod has placed a springtime only log rafting station near this same site as a part of Hollis. But the loggers were given a couple more permits and needed something that worked year-around. So here is the Twelve Mile rafting Station ... 24/7 and 12 months ... rain, sunshine or snow these guys are working! You'll find it under "T" on the Scenery Page.

RTMM.dat for FSDiscover updated

Little Port Walter Marine Station - by Brad Allen

Little Port Walter (LPW) Marine Station is a research unit of Auke Bay Laboratories located 110 miles south of Juneau near the southern tip of Baranof Island. LPW is the oldest year-round biological research station in Alaska and has been host to a wide variety of fisheries research projects since 1934. The station celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary on 31 July 2009 in recognition of the many important contributions to fisheries science resulting from the 75 years of research conducted at the facility.

LPW marine station is located on U.S. Forest Service land in Tongass National Forest and is accessible only by boat or floatplane. The station is in a small estuarine bay adjacent to Chatham Strait near the open Gulf of Alaska and is ideally suited for a broad range of studies on Alaska's fisheries. Sashin Creek with natural runs of salmonids flows into the head of the bay where daily counts of salmon entering and leaving the stream are made. These and other LPW studies provide important long-term data sets to help NOAA Fisheries better understand affects of climatic changes on fluctuating populations of marine resources. Two NOAA Fisheries families live at LPW year-round. Other NOAA scientists periodically commute from TSMRI to conduct research projects. During peak seasonal periods 20 researchers and support staff may be living and working at LPW.

You will find it under "L" on the Scenery Page.

Labouchere Saw Mill Complex by Doug Linn - While looking around for missing "docks' we found some floating logs that Holger seemed to have left behind. Actually, as with everything Holger does, there was a purpose. This is the site of a LTF or Log Transfer Facility. Logs are brought to this place and gather together into "rafts" then towed to the local chip or saw mill or to the pulp mill. It is the law in Alaska that all timber coming from a national forest must be processed inside Alaska. So there are many "timber handling facilities." The Chip and Saw mill we've put in at Labouchere Bay is one of those. Thanks to Dex Thomas for some great AI boats that make the whole thing come alive.

You'll find it under "L" on the scenery page.

Egg Harbor Fish Camp - By Brad Allen (et al) - Here is a complex package that has many surprises for you. Read the full storyline on the Scenery Page under "E" to see all the things that are going on in this location. Brad had a lot of help from his friends to make all of this happen.

FSDISCOVER RTMM.Dat file - by Doug Linn. All of the new Start Locations (RTMM_Docks.zip) have been added to FSDiscover. Also the old Tongass Fjords from FS9 database was integrated into the rtmm.dat file. This added over 150 entries to the rtmm.dat file. These entries are designated with a (T) in FSDiscover. If anyone is flying the Stikine River area with FSDiscover and notices problems, let us know. We know these are not perfect and we will be adjusting them as we fly the area. The updated RTMM.Dat can be found at Misty's Place / Data Base Updates button.

Klawock Snow Dog Tours Ops Base - by Brad Allen This scenery adds a Snow Dog Tours operations base at Klawock Airport. There are two hangars and a small terminal to operate out of at this location. Snow Dog Tours is a chain of aviation operations situated at various Alaska and British Columbia areas. They cater to the adventure traveler and ecotourist. With over one hundred offices and bases, SDT gives their clients excellent access points to some of the most spectacular environments in the world. Scenery Page under "K".

Plan-G Data Files by Dieter Linde - Dieter and I have gone to work on the "data base update" area (see button at Misty's Place). All of Dieter's Plan-G update csv files are now ready for download there. The data in these is "the latest" therefore matching the USFS Cabins page exactly. Dieter has also made some "non" RTMM files that you may have an interest in downloading ... we are happy to host those files for him at RTMM. Note: be sure to read the instructions that are linked at the FAQ page to update Plan-G (under "P"). Also note that we can only work with Version 2.0.5 xxx ... version 3.0 does NOT work for RTMM. (You can have BOTH of them on your system if you like, but our files only work with the older version).

FSDiscover! Data Files by Doug Linn - The FSDiscover Files have been updated to reflect the cabins, the Tongass Fjords X and CIRP Routes and Markers. All are up to date with the latest information. "How to" add the "dat" files is also on the FAQ page, but under "F" for FSDiscover.

Data Base Update Area - This area of the web page at Misty's Place has been totally re-done to make it easier for you to get the files you need for Plan G and FSDiscover.

Petrof Bay Camp - By Brad Allen This is a Tongass National Forest group of cabins that are located in Petrof Bay near Port Walter, AK. Look for a pair of bald eagles nearby who have built a nest in one of the old trees on the small island. Petrof Bay is a small bay on the west side of Kuiu Island in the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska, United States and opens into the Chatham Strait. The bay was named in 1924 for U.S. Census Bureau employee Ivan Petrof, whose reports of his travels in the late 19th century are a valuable source of Alaska history for that period. Under "P" on the Scenery Page

FSDiscover - RTMM.Dat file - By Doug Linn Updated to the latest additions. Misty's Place/Data Base Updates button.

Objects Library Page - Doug Linn - We are creating an Objects Library Page to help people with this (sometimes) confusing issue. The Scenery Tester is now there and updated with the Westwood Inn object.

OUTDATED: Westwood Inn Object Library: You can also download the Westwood Inn Library from this area now. (Although it comes in the Westwood Inn Scenery Package). We will be working on the wording to make it easier to understand for new people coming aboard. So the page is "beta" right now but everything is working. If you go to the top of the scenery page, there are two hot links there, one for Objects Library and the other for Scenery Tester ... both link to the new page.

Snow Dog Tour Object Library - This object library was initially created for the Snow Dog Tours Scenery by Chris “MoCat” Carel. However, since that scenery is incompatible with ORBX Pacific Fjords, Return To Misty Moorings has received permission from Chris "MoCat" Carel to extract the Snow Dog Tours Object Library and use it as a resource for Return To Misty Mooring scenery addons.

Bear Observatory at Anan Lake - By Doug Linn The Bear Observatory is now open for business at Anan Lake. This consists of a mooring point for seaplanes and boats, a landscaped path to the observation area, the observation area and a lodging cabin about a mile up the lake, complete with a waterfall. You will find it under "B" on the Scenery Page.

Map Room Startup Maps - Continuing the "housecleaning" on the Misty's Place page, we now have good links and maps to all of the starting points. Those without maps are indicated with a ** indicating they are an "airport" area, so no map to "get to it" is available. Several had no maps (intermediate stops for Boat Trips, etc.). Maps were made for those. So that section now is all up to date. When you go to the Map Room, click on the name of the location in the Starting Points table and you will get a map of how to get to that location.

USFS Cabins Navigation - New Navigation Buttons are now at the top of the USFS Cabins Page. We are also filling in the blanks under the Tongass Fjords Area Cabins ... not yet completed.

Mission Dispatch #2 Updated - by Jeff Greene. There is an update on the Missions Page for Dispatch #2 Mission.

Misty's Place "Button" Menu Added - The "menu" at Misty's Place was difficult to use and often you had to go to an "intermediate" page to get to the page (Missions, for example). Now you click on the button that is there and you will go to the page immediately. This should be an easier user interface for everyone. Remember ... your "start place" at the RTMM site is Misty's Place ... everything on the site can be found either from there or on the top menu.

ICAO Codes in FAQ - All Updated to the most recent airports. (FAQ under "I")

FSDiscover! RTMM.dat Updated - By Doug Linn. The FSDiscover! database has been updated adding 20 new entries for the area around Westwood Inn. It is at the top of the Map Room at Misty's Place.

Dispatch #2 Mission by Jeff Greene - Jeff has completed the #2 Dispatch and has made a great mission out of it. It starts at Yes Bay Lodge and goes around to the cabins in that area. Some beautiful areas to fly through ... and some fun along the way, courtesy of Jeff!!! Look for it on the Missions Page.

The Westwood Inn - by Urs Burkhardt - A beautiful scenery package offered to our library by Urs Burkhardt (his first contribution to RTMM).

A mere 40 miles to the north along the Klinaklini River lies Jobin Creek Cabin. This small place has a cleared field for landings, but it is only suitable for something really STOL, like Supercubs, J3 Cubs, Scouts and the like. Going in and out in a Bird Dog is manageable, but if the winds are wrong, you're stranded.

The Westwood Inn package is ready for your download on the Scenery Page under "W". I have also placed a link to Dex Thomas' AI Boats for this area at the same location. A V2 Trip Ticket takes you from Bella Coola, over the Owikeno Lake Area, up the Machmel to Mt Kinch, then down the Klinaklini Glacier to the Klinaklini River and to Knights Inlet where you will find the Westwood Inn. The ticket is at the scenery download site (and HERE).

Ocean Falls, BC by Doug Linn - It was mentioned on one of our forum threads that there was a "wall of water" where a waterfall should be at Ocean Falls, BC. I did some research on it, and got a real surprise. It's not a water fall like I thought too, it is a dam that creates hydroelectric power for the region. I found a good picture of Ocean Falls and tried to duplicate it the beet I could with the objects we've got. It is pretty close. Above the dam is an absolutely beautiful lake that we'll put some development on later, but check out that lake too. There is a V2 Trip Ticket for this and an FS (Flight Seeing) plan. It's under the "O" on the Scenery Page.

Yes Bay Enhancements Update by Dex Thomas - Dex has updated the enhancements for Yes Bay. He also fixed up the Readme, so you can see what changes need to be made. You can download that at the Yes Bay Scenery download location.

PLAN-G update by Dieter Linde. Dieter has updated the cvs file and you can download it from the top of the Map Room at Misty's Place. (Thank you, Dieter!).

The Lost Treasure of Timuquan Series - by Brad Allen. Here are 5 well-done missions for the more adventurous among you! Ever want to go treasure hunting while flying FSX? Well, here's your chance. The Lost Treasures of Timuquan Missions ... all 5 of them for now ... are posted on the Missions Page. These are a lot of fun to fly and very easy to install. Just follow Brad's excellent instructions in the readme and you will be fine. Go to Misty's Place/Missions/Mission Page and you will find them waiting for you there.

Yes Bay Lodge by Xavier Carre' and Jacques Alluchon - Here it is! This is one you've been waiting for. A lot of people on the team spent a lot of time working on this one for you. See the readme for all the credits ... but also check out the PDF in the package ... perhaps one of the best we've ever put up on a scenery location. This is a beautiful scenery location you won't want to miss. Look for it under "Y" on the Scenery Page at RTMM. NOTAM: This is a 78K file, a big one, so be patient on the download.

Yes Bay Tour - V2 Trip Ticket - Completed and posted. You can fly this whole route autopilot only changing altitude on one leg and slowing down on one turn. You should land and explore each one of these fabulous scenery locations. The tour takes you to all of them. You can see the Trip Ticket HERE, the FS (Flight-seeing) plan is downloadable at the Yes Bay Lodge scenery location on the Scenery Page under "Y". RTMM.dat file for FSDiscover! updated and starting positions for all the new location are on the starting points table, Misty's Place/Map Room/ Starting locations.

Trip Ticket Indicators at Map Room - At Misty's Place in the Map Room, if you look at the starting locations table, there is now a new column to the right that lets you know if there is a V1, or V2 Trip Ticket for that location, or a dispatch. Clicking on the V1, V2, or D brings up the item. See how it works HERE

Miller Lake Cabin V2 Trip Ticket - Completed, you can view it HERE

Fountain of Ute Version 2 Trip Ticket - By Doug Linn. The Fountain of Ute was designed as a FLOAT trip for The Moorings. We have now also made it a Flight Seeing flight. You can fly it with autopilot if you are careful at one turn. There are 2 landing zones, one "fairly" safe and one "really" dangerous. All the turns are market with pictures. You can view the ticket HERE

Hollis Harbor V2 Trip Ticket - by Doug Linn. Flight-seeing and trip ticket completed. This one goes from Tamgas Harbor SPB to Hollis Fed Ex .. across the strait and across Prince of Wales Island. A great VFR flight ... 1200 feet no problem! You can view the ticket HERE.

Driftwood Depot & Darb Lake V2 Trip Ticket - By Doug Linn. This is an interesting flight because it is pure VFR, and high altitude (weather can be a problem). You will be following a lake, then a railroad, then a river, then a dead-ahead compass bearing to find the final destination. Maps and pictures of critical turns are included in the trip ticket. This one does both Darb Lake and Driftwood Depot. See new V2 Ticket Here.

Dean River to Sigutlat Village V2 Trip Ticket - By Doug Linn. We have a "river run" for this at the Moorings, but didn't have a Trip Tic for a flight up the Dean River, starting at PF32 and ending at Sigutlat Lake at the village. You can see all the river scaping from the air on this trip. This is a 40 mile trip that is generally "follow the river" with a tricky landing at a Brad's in a ravine about half way through the trip. See the V2 ticket Here

RTMM.Dat file for FSDISCOVER! - by Doug Linn. The new database is up for the 30 some additions made to it with the V2 Trip tickets. The FSDiscover! data on your screen will match the new areas. You can find it at the top of the Map Room at Misty's Place. See the Raw RTMM.Dat File Each entry put in by hand and tested.

Bowser Lake Locations V2 Trip Ticket - By Doug Linn. A Version 2 trip ticket has been made for the Bowser Lake locations .. these include (1) Bowser Lake Cabins, (2) Elliot Firebase and the (3) Fire Tower. A new FS (Flight Seeing) flight plan can be downloaded from the ticket. That plan is autopilot-friendly. So if you have bad weather, you can fly this with the autopilot in zero visibility BUT ONLY IF you pay attention to the altitudes at the leg segments. Flying this at zero vis is a lot of fun!

Big Lake Cabin, Gokachin Lake Cabin and Mesa Lake Cabin now have V2 Trip Tickets.

Burnett Inlet Cabin Trip Tic (Version II) - By Doug Linn. The Burnett Inlet Cabin Trip Ticket has been upgraded to the new format. As we go back over these, we are going to make them more VFR friendly ... sometimes even adding pictures for critical places that people must find. If you have FSDiscover! then this is always easy. We are designing the new Trip Tics so that people without FSDiscover can still find there way. The flight plan included with these will be unique from the flight plan for the location. In this case, we started out from Murphy's Pullout instead of PAKT. The new format will include a small map in the ticket, a way to download a printable copy, a way to download a full map and the upgraded flight-seeing flight plan. Also pictures will be embedded to help with difficult VFR descriptions. You can view the new format HERE, or on the new button below..

Remember, when you pull this up, you size a window to the right of your screen, then put FSX on the left (on the rest) of the screen. You can then scroll down the Trip Ticket to get your instructions as you fly. As you can see from the format, these can take a great deal of time to complete, so we will S L O W L Y be adding them. For the veterans here, this is a good way to reacquaint yourself with some beautiful scenery locations you may have forgotten. Hope you enjoy this new and improved way of getting to Brad's Burnett Inlet Cabin. For now, when we add one of these, at the location we'll add a new trip ticket button indicating a Version II Trip Ticket. The new button for a Version 2 Trip Ticket will look like the one below. You can click on it to see the new format.

Aiken Creek Camp Trip Ticket Version 2 - by Doug Linn ... This Trip Ticket has been revised to the new version 2 format.

Wing and a Prayer Mission - By Brad Allen - Updated to 2.0. You can find this on the Missions Page. This can be a difficult one. I had to fly part of it completely on instruments, watching the Mission Compass, the HSI and the Altitude (and trying to fly with my fingers crossed!). A great mission with beautiful scenery. NOTAM: you can get to the Missions Page from Misty's Place now.

Misty's Place Page Update - Because we are starting to add more missions, we needed a place where people can find them easier. We put a table at Misty's Place so you can get to the missions from there on the actual Missions Page. We've made that page easier to navigate with a menu at the top. It is a lengthy page, but with the menu at the top and the "back to top" at the bottom of each table, you can get around the page quickly. This is becoming our ONE STOP place for what to do at RTMM.

Salmon Bay Cabin - By Brad Allen. The last of the "missing cabins from Tongass Fjords". You'll find it under "S" on the Scenery Page.

Plan G Update by Dieter Linde. Dieter has updated the Plan G file for us (find it at the top of the Map Room at Misty's Place. (Thank you, Dieter).

FedEx PAKT Version 2.1 by Brad Allen. This file has been updated, different vehicles added.

Hollis Harbor by Rod Jackson.

Well here is one you'll want to start exploring quickly. This is, perhaps, one of the best pieces of work RTMM has ever offered to you. Rod has made sure all the magical things are in this one, boat traffic, air traffic, terminal at PAKT for SP1 and PFJ (normal), paints, flattens, a river run, and the RTMM Season Switcher (meaning Rod did FIVE bgls for each scenery location ... FIVE times the work!)... it's all there. This is the kind of a place where you pick one of those houses, buy it, settle in and just make this your home. All the roads around the area work, so jeep trips are there for your pleasure too. There's a FedEx terminal and an Eagle Air terminal, so these will become "key" to those who are using the new vNAC Virtual Airline. Check out the Readme.pdf for this scenery ... it is very complex and very well done. Our thanks to Rod. (Tell him so on the forum!)

Missing USFS Cabins - By Brad Allen.

Many of the cabins in the Tongass Fjords and PFS areas are not in the original packages. These are some VERY interesting cabins to locate and navigate to. "Getting there" is the focus for these little additions. We've also made a change on the Misty' Place page adding the USFS Cabins link there to get to The Cabins page in an easier way. We will list the added "Missing Cabins" there. Also if you click on one there, it will download the zip file for it. But these are also listed on the Scenery Page where you can see the map, get a description of the cabin as well as download the package. The cabins in this first installment are:

• Salmon Lake
• Honker Lake
• Sarker Lake
• Staney Creek

Look on the Scenery Page for a description of each of these. Brad will be adding more. As we add these, we are also adding the "Mooring Points" (Starting points) for each on the Map Room page at Misty's Place.

FedEx Office Locations - by Brad Allen. To continue to support our partner Virtual Airline, Brad has created a little FedEx terminal for many of the locations ... more will be added later as the routes increase. Look for them under "F" on the scenery page. Those added so far are:

• FedEx Depot - CBM5 - (Telegraph Creek, BC)
  
• FedEx Depot - CYPR - (Prince Rupert, BC)
• FedEx Depot - CYXT - (Terrace, BC)
  
• FedEx Depot - PAFE - (Kake, AK)
  
• FedEx Office - PAKT - (Ketchikan, AK)
• FedEx Depot - PAKW - (Klawock, AK)
  
• FedEx Depot - PAPG - (Petersburg, AK)
  
• FedEx Office - PASI - (Sitka, AK)
  
• FedEx Depot - PAWG - (Wrangell, AK)

Salmon Lake Cabin - by Brad Allen. This is a Park Service cabin located at Salmon Lake near Klawock. This scenery enhances the Tongass Fjords X scenery area so you'll need that installed. Of course you can use this scenery with Return to Misty Moorings as we expand into the Tongass Fjords area! (Find it under "S" on the Scenery Page).

*NOTAM: All "starting points" for all of these are listed at Misty's Place, Map Room.

Khutze Conservancy is located on the east side of Princess Royal Channel, along the Inside Passage route. It shares its northern boundary with Q’altanaas/Aaltanhash Conservancy. Khutze Conservancy protects a very scenic fjord, the entire watershed of the Khutze River, scenic mountains, coastal old-growth forests, high value grizzly bear habitat, salmon spawning streams, marbled murrelet bird colonies and low-elevation Sitka spruce forests. It also provides a protected anchorage (with scenic waterfalls) adjacent to the main Inside Passage route where visitors can spend a night to rest, fish or watch wildlife. The conservancy protects an area of popular recreational use by boaters, the Khutze and East Khutze River watersheds and several small remote streams, lakes and wetlands.

This scenery works with the new Season Switcher. Look for it under "K" on the Scenery Page.

We are now setting up a partnership and linkage between RTMM and vNAC. Virtual Northern Air Charters has been created by Chris Losh (Fireball) and the Fed-X routes (FDX) you will find on his page focus on the RTMM area. Our initial links to Chris' website can be found at Misty's Place in the Dispatcher's Office. Here we will be putting VFR flights for those "instrument challenged" planes dealing with the low ceilings in the RTMM area. Our VFR flights will match the flight numbers for VNAC. Here's how Chris describes the new VA:

• Wilson River Lodge update - fixed a minor problem in the ADEX file on the name of the country for the airport.
• New Video by FS Robert - In the Video Gallery at Misty's Place, Robert has given us a fine video of the Ketchikan Area with the SP1 sloping runways. See "Ketchikan Area - It's all in the Harmonies (for Josh).
• The Landings ... updated ... this now has the correct zip file for you. This fixes some river problems in the river.

"How To..." Section added to FAQ page. Often we help each other here at RTMM by writing up a little tutorial that will help the rest of the team to understand a certain aspect of scenery design. I've decided to "archive" these so other folks can use them and enjoy the shared knowledge. The first to entries are "up" on the FAQ page under How To ...

• Flat Polygons for Dummies (Like Me!) - By Doug Linn ... a VERY BASIC tutorial on how to flatten and texturize an area.
• Sloped Polygons - By Rod Jackson ... a more technical and professional tutorial on the more complex sloping polygons.

• PLAN G Update by Dieter Linde ... Dieter has updated the PLAN-G data so all the new locations in Owikeno Lake are showing. Again, as always, our thanks to Dieter for doing this important work for us. In the Map Room at Misty's Place.
• Polygons "How To" by Rod Jackson. We are starting a new little archive place for you in the FAQ area under "How To". Rod Jackson has given us a nice tutorial on sloped polygons. So if you are interested in getting started in this area, this is an excellent read.

Moose Lake Lodge - By Xavier Carre' - Moose Lake Lodge is located in a remote part of British Columbia (Canada), near the headwaters of the Blackwater River, Dean River, and Entiako River. This is the paradise for rainbow trout fishing, but also salmon and more...And wildlife. How to get there ? By float plane, mooring at CBE8 Moose lake SPB or by plane and amphibious, landing at CAS2. This airstrip is not listed in OrbX PFJ scenery, in fact, this airstrip has an ID. : CAS2, and it seems to be used by amphibious planes. Under "M" on the Scenery Page.

Updates:

• Misty Moorings River Contest - By Xavier Carre. Want to have some real fun on the water? Try this one out! Xavier has created a river run racing course with jumps and all kinds of great features and objects. This is placed up on the Dean River. Read through the pdf for a full description of this amazing addition. (Find it under "M" on the scenery page and on "The Moorings" page).
• Thumb Harbor Version II - by Xavier Carre. Xavier has updated the Thumb Harbor with even more amazing detail. This is a beautiful spot to visit and in the zip file are several flights plans for getting there.
• Summit Lake Resort - by Doug Linn. A high mountain lake resort on the Prince of Wales Island. This is near Dan's Hideaway, Aiken Creek and the new Miller Lake (below). So you can visit all of them easily.
• Miller Lake - By Doug Linn. Just a fancy little cabin with all the amenities on a high mountain lake on the Prince of Wales Island. Near Dan's Hideaway, Summit Lake Lodge and Aiken Creek.
• Misty's Place Page Update - The Map Room and Gallery Room are now at Misty's Place. You'll find a new menu at the top of that page to direct you to anything you need. At the bottom of each table is a "back to top" that will take you right back up to the menu. Navigation is simple. Next, we'll change the top menu taking "Gallery" and "Map Room" out and putting in "The Moorings" and "Enhancements". Then the Map Room and Gallery pages as they now stand will disappear. Next we'll go to work on The Moorings and Enhancements and get them to work more smoothly. Check it out.

Ketchikan Harbor is a detailed scenery enhancement that requires ORBX PAKT with SP1 be installed first. Ketchikan harbor also features the home of Eagle Air. Other enhancements featured in this scenery package include cargo dock objects, many additional buildings and trees surrounding the general harbor area and some building enhancement in downtown Ketchikan to reduce the glass and steel effect and add more color. Eagle Air is a small fictitious company, located at the edge of Ketchikan Harbor, just east of Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base (5KE), that provides floatplane tours and private charters for the greater Ketchikan area and throughout Misty Fjords. Many locations featured, found at the Return To Misty Moorings (RTMM) web site, can be easily reached from Ketchikan Harbor. Eagle Air is run by two brothers, Joe and Jack. Joe loves their J3-Cub and is always spiffing it up. Joe is also a part time harbor pilot and takes the ole' boat out whenever the Harbormaster calls on him to help guide those monstrous cruise ships.

This is a "first" scenery from our new team mate, Rod Jackson ... it's a beautiful beginning! Find it on the Scenery Page under "K".

UPDATED: CIRP Offices at PAKT (combo offices) have been updated ... by Jeff Greene. Find the new file on the CIRP Page in the Extra Addons area. PAKT SP1 Only

• CIRP OFFICE for PAKT SP1 - If you have the PAKT addition and the SP1 added for it, there is a new "combo" office package that gives you an upper level and lower level CIRP office at PAKT. Also the original is there now if you do not have the PAKT addition. This can be found in the CIRP section.
• Totem Bight - There is an update for Totem Bight if you have the PAKT/SP1 update, you can find it in the scenery section. If you do not have the PAKT addition, there is an "original" Totem Bight there for you too.

Misty Repaint of the OZx Freeware Grumman Goose by Reggie Smith - Here is an excellent repaint of the FREEWARE OZx Grumman Goose in Misty Colors. You can find it on the Enhancements Page under repaints. Remember, to get to "Enhancements" or any other page that is not in the top menu, go to the Site Map on the top menu and you will find it. You can also find it from the home page and from Misty's Place. Just remember the "Site Map" when you cannot find something. Thank you Reggie for a great repaint. (Please read the "readme" on this repaint very closely ... it is easy to follow, but this repaint is a little different that some you are used to adding).

Goose Panel Modification: Also I have added a panel modification under the Goose repaint on the Enhancements Page that will help with the upcoming CIRP. The MiniPanel has an ADF in it which will help you find the NDBs in Return to Misty Moorings and the new Cambria Icefield Research Project (CIRP). Also the GPS pop up has been modified ... instead of a huge GPS, a smaller one that comes up in the lower right corner of your screen with an ADF, altimeter and speedometer. This makes it easy to fly in the "outside view" and still be able to watch your course and speed.

• CU Ranch by Chris Losh. Chris Losh is our newest scenery contributor and what a great "first one" for Chris! Download the new CU Ranch from the scenery page and enjoy a well-designed scenery location that is just a short flight from PAKT and Misty's Place. Well done, Chris, thank you from the whole team.
• RTMM.Dat file for FSDiscover! Updated (top of Map room. Fixed orphan link at the FAQ page directing to the top of the Map Room for rtmm.dat updates. (Thank you Michael)

New SP4 Patch for PNW - Get it at ORBX. This patch is a CUMULATIVE patch (525MB) that contains all the content of previous patches for PNW. Be sure FTX Central is set to North America when applying the patch. Below is a cut n' paste from the ORBX site announcement.

Xavier's Cabin by Brad Allen. A beautiful new, remote location on the Tezwa River. This one as a small tribute to Xavier for all the work he does for us here at RTMM.

The Fountain of Ute (River Run)- By Doug Linn ... associated with Xavier's Cabin, here is a River Run that takes you from a new Brad's Bait & BBQ at Cornwall Point up the Tezwa River in the area of Xavier's Cabin. The river is fully "river-scaped" with navigational markers, rapids and waterfalls. (Under "F"" on the Scenery Page ... also on The Moorings)

FSDiscover! file updated for this river run and area. (Get it at the top of the Map Room)

Victory Valley - Updated ... we had some problems with this one that Brad has fixed for us. So it is now re-uploaded and ready for your download.

The Landings at Alastair Lake - Updated ... bench textures fixed and a neat rock wall around the "floating" helipad (thank you Brad!).

The Landings UPDATED (added rapids)

Iggy's Harbor for RTMM by Robert Pomerleau - View it in the gallery ... we even get a shot of "FSRobert" himself and his Flightsim setup.

Skeena River Life - By Xavier Carre' - This is a set of additional sceneries covering area from Prince Rupert ( Digby island) to Terrace (Skeena River lodge).These are 14 locations along the Skeena river : Osland harbour, Port Essington, Scotia Camp, Komaham Lodge and much more. There is also a very little, and fictitious, airstrip : Terrace Ultralight airstrip (no ICAO id.) Along the river, you will find wildlife, friends, nice places, maybe the steam locomotive and more. Sounds are included in some areas. Better way to discover : Take a boat at CAN6 Prince Rupert/Digby Island SPB and follow the included Plan-G flight plan, you can also use a small airplane. Find it on the Scenery Page under "S". See the Readme for full details (This is an impressive download from RTTM!)

Object Files Updates: Put links to Xavier's latest library objects file and dated it so folks can get the latest. Also put a link to ORBX and OZx object libraries. These are at the top of the SCENERY page under "Instructions and Legends".

Portage Bay Cabin - by Doug Linn (my first). A cabin on a key site for the history of Prince of Wales Island, the storyline describes the historical importance of the site. A "Sail Plan/Flight Plan" is included, can be used for boats as well as low fliers (helicopters and flight seeing planes. The Trip Tic is the "SP" design, a little different but sufficient for a short trip.
Portage Bay Cruise - added to the Cruises at The Moorings.
RIVA, Scirocco freeware links added to The Moorings as well as a new Config for the Sirrocco by Jeff Greene.
Griffin Passage - Sail Plan put up in the moorings. Don't forget these "sail plans" are PERFECT for low fliers. A helicopter can safely take these routes because they go around the islands and stay over water. Also good for low level flight seeing.

Wilson River Lodge Sounds - Dex Thomas has added some fine audible FX to the Wilson River Lodge. You can get this from the Scenery page under Wilson River Lodge.
The Moorings (Beta Page)... You have "heard" us discussing Misty "on the water" in the forum. We now have a "test" page up and running that will house the nautical part of RTTM. We will keep this separate from the flying. Presently, we have several cruises (sailing plans, trip tics), some navigational maps, charts and "starting points" for boats. Jeff is working with making the boats follow "autopilot" (not an easy task) and we have a prototype "tweak" up there for one of the boats. We are open to ideas on this page for folks that are discovering and enjoying this aspect of PFJ. Add your ideas at The Moorings - Misty on the Water ... on the forum.

UPDATE - Thorne Bay The Object Crash problem has been corrected with this update on Thorne Bay.
Misty Garbage Skow ... At the Enhancements Page ... by Dex Thomas (Sooner or later, we knew this would have to happen!)
Misty Log Barge - another Enhancement by Dex Thomas to make the vast water expanses of Misty come alive with marine traffic. Not ready to download from the Enhancements Page.

Jordan Lake Cabin updated - Version 1.5 ... trees were planted around the cabin to give a little shade. Flight Seeing Plan Added.
Misty's Place updated - Replaced the cabin object at Doug's cabin location by the bonfire with a default one for more compatibility.

Sewell Lodge is now ready for download under "S" on the Scenery Page. This is our first scenery by Xavier. Note there are some special files you must download to make it all come together as perfectly as he built it. Enjoy this one, it is outstanding!

The Moorings ... on the Water Topic was added to the forum for the "boaters" lurking among us. We thought this would give folks a place to talk about boating and keep it from getting mixed in to the airplane talk for the rest of the site. There are some exciting things we are discovering. PFJ makes the world on the water come alive!

Through Glacier Research Station - a location designed by Chris Brisland. Ready for your enjoyment. Download it from the Scenery page under "T".
Latest PLAN-G "Locations Map" for RTTM updated by Dieter, ... at the Map Room. (RTTM.Zip)

Daredevil's Roost - A hang-glider's heaven, check this one out ... if you dare! By Chris Brisland. Uploaded on the scenery page under "D".

Little Oliver Creek - A new location by Kim Gowney ... with a "sloping" runway. File your flightplan for this one, be sure you seat belt is a little tighter than usual! Trip Ticket and Flight Seeing Plan completed and uploaded.

PAKT ATC - Air Traffic Control is now available for PAKT, we've hired some temporary workers and cleaned out the storage boxes in the PAKT tower and put these people to work! This is another creation of Kim Gowney. PS: We have checked with Russ White at ORBX and this will not interfere with what he is planning for PAKT, but you may have to "pull out" this feature when the new PAKT comes about.

Major work done on the Enhancements Page today. Chris Brisland's "Misty's Beaver" repaints are all added and linked. Also all the files are dated as to 'when added."

Aiiken Creek Sound Effects added (See SCENERY/Aiken Creek )

Misty's Place Update (Version 2.0) - Replaced Misty's original Cabin with a smaller cabin because the previous object would disappear at night. Re-positioned the VW van at Doug's Cabin and added three hemlock trees near the cabin. Update is available for download.
NOTAM: When updating: USER SHOULD DELETE the file: misty's_place_01.bgl from the "Misty's Place" scenery folder AND REPLACE WITH: misty's_place_02.bgl

Misty AI Commercial #1 and Commercial #2posted ... these add maritime traffic to the lonely Clarence Strait.

AI Floatplane Traffic file updated: ... the new download is on the Enhancements Page with the explanation for the change as well as are the instructions.
PLAN-G Update: The latest from Dieter Linde for Misty and PFJ locations to imports into Plan G

Kitsault Gold Camp - New Scenery added to the Scenery Page. Trip Tic and Flight-Seeing Plan completed and uploaded. Leisurely flight with an exciting ending .. and when you "get there" some very special sights are in store for you. Enjoy! (I did).

NEW RTMM TEAM MEMBERS - Dex Thomas and Chris Brisland have been asked to join the RTMM Team. You can read about them on the ABOUT page. Welcome to the team, Gents!

THE SOUNDS OF MISTY ... Have arrived!

Nina's Landing SOUNDS added: Now your favorite places from Return to Misty Moorings will not only have beautiful scenery ... but, for example, you'll be able to stop at "Nina's Landing" and hear sea gulls during the day. And then as the evening arrives, you'll hear the crowd and party goers get "Noisy" around the bar as music fills the air. You may actually want to join in the festivities! Check the first one out at Nina's Landing. Watch for the Icon on the scenery page for the sounds.

Misty's Place SOUNDS added: Download the new sound effects file for Misty's Place HERE

Scenery Updates and Creation Temporarily Halted - Just a little update for everyone. We are temporarily putting a hold on any RTMM scenery projects until the upcoming service pack from ORBX for "Pacific Fjords" is released. :-\ This is so we don't make any scenery or other enhancement that might conflict with the service pack. Once we have a chance to test out our existing scenery with that update, we can better address any issues that may occur. Thanks for your patience as we check things out. - Brad

EXCLUSIVE from John Venema, CEO ORBX to RTMM members ...
"In terms of our plans for payware airports, I can confirm here (exclusively first to RTMM!) that we're releasing PAKT Ketchikan, CZST Stewart and CYBD Bella Coola through 2011 and early 2012. These are being created by Russ White who as most of you know, is a 3D modeling magician and in particular you're going to see some incredible ground-breaking new tech at Ketchikan which will amaze you all. I personally cannot wait to do the hop between these three locations!"
