Rothera is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable locations in Antarctica. The station is situated on a rocky promontory beneath immense glaciers and mountains, surrounded by the sea on three sides, while the peaks of the Antarctic Peninsula stretch across the eastern horizon.
The distinctive airstrip is tightly nestled between the station’s hangars and the sea at both ends, complete with a road … read morecrossing and functioning traffic lights. It evokes the feeling of a colder, more remote Gibraltar.
As a complement to the main station, this package also includes two remote British outposts farther south: Fossil Bluff and Sky Blu. Together, these three locations provide an authentic setting for polar operations and are perfectly suited for aircraft such as the Twin Otter.
Features:
• Highly detailed and up-to-date rendition of Rothera Research Station
• Includes recent additions such as the Discovery Building and the new runway lighting system
• New terrain techniques developed specifically for this add-on, providing 3D detail for groomed skiways, rocks, and snow around the featured locations
• Extensive animations, including wildlife, vehicles, boats, and personnel
• Custom sounds for animals and vehicles
• Detailed glacier cliffs dramatically descending into the sea around Rothera
• Hundreds of thousands of animated icebergs surrounding the base, occasionally creating interesting situations during approach
• Remote automatic weather and monitoring stations, marked as POIs, for challenging field trips and rough landings
• Sky Blu and Fossil Bluff with custom models, enhanced local terrain imagery, and improved elevation data
• Emergency glacier landing strip above Rothera for realistic operational scenarios
• Carefully crafted local terrain that blends naturally into the surrounding default landscape
• Comprehensive state-of-the-art manual featuring dozens of pages of insider knowledge about flying in Antarctica, including flight plans and simplified maps
