Hi All,
The community of Halibut Cove, Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula, lies in a protected stretch of waterway called the narrows, which runs between the hourglass-shaped Ismailof Island and the south shore of Kachemak Bay. Many of the houses sit on pilings (due to regular tidal variances of almost 25 feet), and the only transportation is by boat - there are no cars. There are no roads. There are no runways. Halibut Cove can only be reached by ferry, floatplane or amphibian.
The surrounding water of Kachemak Bay provides the livelihood of many Halibut Cove residents. Local men and women fish commercially for salmon, halibut or cod. There are also a number of artists in the Cove, and it’s not unusual for a resident to be both artist and commercial fisherman. In the summer, Halibut Cove is a vacation destination for many Alaskans as well as visitors to the State.
RTMM Halibut Cove features:
• Hundreds of hand-made changes to terrain elevations, textures & autogen
• Many custom modeled objects to provide key photo-similar structures to real-life
• All AI Boats and AI Floats feature photo-similar repaints and depart according to set schedules
that vary by season*
• Foliage/ground textures & people change according to the season*
• Static and animated Wildlife
• Fully-featured RTMM Control Panel to give the user maximum flexibility in what objects are
displayed to either improve frame rates, better match a given season or just suit the user's
fancy.
• Hundreds of feet of Boardwalk\Piers\Pilings that rise above the extremely tidal water
• A logical base of operations for your Kenai Peninsula adventures
• An incredibly unique location where taxiing to a dock or doing some casual boating is an exciting
visual experience
*RTMM Season Switcher required for this feature
After many months of work, the RTMM Staff and Beta Testers are extremely pleased with this new ground-breaking piece of scenery from Return to Misty Moorings. Some think it is our best effort yet. If you haven't seen the 5 minute video feature of this scenery, and want to watch it,
Click Here. In order to use this scenery and make sure you have all the new custom modeled objects, you should have already downloaded and installed the brand new versions of the CeyX Object Libraries and the RTMM Object Libraries which were posted to the RTMM site on July 18. Now you can download the Halibut Cove scenery package itself from the RTMM Scenery section under "H".
The requirements for Halibut Cove are:
Microsoft FSX (with Acceleration Pack)
ORBX SAK
Tongass Fjords X (Numerous Tongass Fjords X Objects are used in this scenery)
The latest version of all of the Return To Misty Moorings Object Libraries (Note: only the 2 mentioned
above have recently changed)
RTMM Season Switcher v3.3 (Optional but it really makes a difference)
I have posted a couple of new pictures below.
Enjoy!
