As I was going through all the files making everything DX10 ready ... I had to do all of the river runs again. There are 4 of them at Owikeeno Lake. One is the Machmel River. At the northernmost headwaters you will find a tall mountain with a glacier that feeds the river.
Owikeeno Lake "spans" two ORBX scenery area, PFJ and PNW. So you need both to view this properly. There are multiple locations in this package with airports and plenty of places for float planes, and a haven for the boaters.
As I changed all of the "bad" objects in Owikeeno, it gave me a chance to revisit this beautiful area. We have some areas in the RTMM area that are breathtaking, but I don't believe any quite with the sheer differential between high mountains and deep valleys as we can see in the "Gateway" area. The place to start at Owikeeno is "PF50" the Pacific Fjords Gateway Airport that is added there by this package. The package includes a canal that connects PFJ to PNW and a ferry boat that runs the length of the lake and docks perfectly every 45 minutes (pic below).
One of my favorite places is the mission (pics below). On the mountain at the head of the Machmel River River, we've placed a monastery with a cabin down by the lake. It is a beautiful ending to a river run. There is a helipad nearby for our rotorheads. You can fly from Machmel village by float plane up the river taking in the waterfalls and bridges ... and when you see the tall glacier ahead, you can land on the beautiful turquois glacier lake in front of the cabin. If you have PNW and PFJ, this is a "must" download. You can see the readme (link below). It contains all the maps and descriptions for the multiple locations:
