Major Features Aerosoft's African Airstrip

Major Features

This adventure package has several major features to enable a higher than ordinary level of simulation enjoyment: Scenery, flights, a mission, and a manual.

Scenery. Approximately 40,000 square kilometers around Mt Kenya, the country's highest peak, is covered by this add-on scenery. More than 20 airstrips, custom scenery, landmarks, buildings, vehicles and thousands of birds and mammals are featured. Basic features include:

Custom LOD12 terrain mesh
Custom land-class definitions, textures, and blendings
Custom streets, roads, rivers, lakes, telephone lines, and railways with 3D trains
Custom Africa-typial villages and lodges
Custom airstrip objects and buildings

Flights. About 30 flights start users at airports and airstrips for viewing scenery and animals and for launching adventures.

Mission. One mission, called "career mode," leads users to carrying passengers and cargo around Kenya's airstrips. This mission starts with a short video and an option for taking the introductory flight. Thereafter, users may accept one of more than 20 "jobs" assigned at random by a dispatcher.

Manuals. A 46-page manual with numerous screen shots explains how to install and use the package:

A 25-page printable version of this manual — without the images and background paper — is available for simpler printing and toner/ink savings.


Aerosoft says "African Airstrip Adventures combines an advanced mission mode with high-definition scenery" and an opportunity to "start a career as a pilot in a fictional charter airline."
