FSDG - Dutch Harbor X

Las Islas Aleutianas conforman uno de los lugares mas remotos de América del Norte, extiendose cerca de 1200 millas desde la peninsula de Alaska hacia el Mar de Bering para colindar con la peninsula de Kamchatka. A pesar de su tamaño, solamente 8000 habitantes viven en ellas, la mayoria en la isla de Unalaska.

Hay una razon por la cual la pequeña ciudad de Unalaska es mas conocida de lo que crees, y no es otra que sus instalaciones portuarias: Dutch Harbor. Llamado asi por los rusos ya que se cree que el primer navio en arribar al puerto era holandés. Este puerto es el mas importante en lo que se refiere a pesca en Estados Unidos.

Esto sonaría realmente impresionante para los amantes de la pesca, pero por qué crear un add-on asi para FSX? Simplemente por el desafio que representa el aterrizar/despegar de su aeropuerto, ya sea en un 737 o en un Twin Otter.

Con 250 dias de lluvia al año, niebla constante, fuertes vientos cruzados, y temperaturas promedio bajo 0, el desafio es lo suficientemente interesante para poner a transpirar a los pilotos mas experimentados. Y si esto no fuera suficiente, las montañas a casi todos los lados del aeropuerto hacen a los pilotos realizar una aproximacion en círculo con un viraje cerrado hacia la pista de solo 3900 pies.

Conclusion by Avsim.com:
"During the time I spent in Dutch Harbor X, I was able to do the type of flying I rarely am able to in the lower 48 states where I normally fly. Between the precarious location, and terrible weather, there aren’t many airports that are as tricky as Dutch Harbor. When the wind calms down enough to fly however, you are able to enter an incredible world of custom objects and landclass that span a large part of the Aleutian island chain. There was always something new and interesting to explore in the area, and I doubt I saw everything. From the chilly summer, to the harsh winter Dutch Harbor X offers a challenge for all pilots, be it wrestling a plane onto the runway at Unalaska, sightseeing at the WWII historical areas, splashing down in a bay to provide vital supplies to a small town, or just setting the weather to clear and enjoying the sights and sounds of flying around in one of the most remote areas of the world. I thoroughly enjoyed my time flying around Dutch Harbor X, and highly recommend it to any pilot interested in a challenge, bush flying, Alaska in general, or Deadliest catch..."

Conclusion by simFlight.com:
"This scenery proved to be great fun and has some spectacular scenery and will be a winner with every pilot looking for adventure or wanting to discover the beauty of this wilderness offers. It can be a nice distraction from flying those large commercial jetliners. If you use a real world weather program you never know what you may be faced with when you fly the skies around Unalaska. Are you up to the challenge because this scenery can put your piloting skills to the test!"

Conclusion by Mutleyshangar.com:
"Aerosoft have gone above and beyond what the add-on title suggests and provided much more than just an airport; the extended scenery range, extra scenery at airports, volcano effects and missions all help to offset the fact that the usual high detail is not available. With everything combined this is a very attractive package and will be a firm favourite with bush flyers and those who love hard approaches. When writing a review at Mutley's Hangar we like to give scoring based on how well the add-on meets what it sets out to do. Scoring will always begin at 10/10 with points deducted as necessary. When taking everything into consideration I can only find 1 fault with this add-on, and that is the cars falling through the scenery and not being able to land the helicopters on the ships in the port. Only a minor niggle but I am please to give this add-on a Mutley’s Hangar score of 9/10"
