Kodiak Island Seaplane Bases

The default MSFS scenery includes only a couple seaplane bases on Kodiak Island and no cold and dark water gates. If you want to fly the Goose, Widgeon or another amphibious or float plane from one of these bases, you have to start with the plane running. This add-on adds water docks and amphibious gates to two existing seaplane bases and adds eight new seaplane bases on the western part of Kodiak Island. From those docks and gates, you'll be able to start cold and dark. New bases in blue.

Version 1.1

• Alitak updated to clean up the shoreline and improve bay water color
• Deadman Bay updated with terraforming fixes and improving grass at all three beach spots
• Port Bailey (KPY) added on the east coast of Kodiak Island
• Trident Bay (T44) added on the east coast of Kodiak Island near Kodiak Airport
• All bases got more standardized version numbers.

Installation

• When you unzip the downloaded file, you will have a new folder containing all 10 bases and 1 library.
• If you are using Addons Linker, you can simply copy that folder into the place you store your addons.
• If you are manually installing addons, you need to copy all 10 base folders and 1 library folder nto your packages/community directory.
• The library 'mojavehigh-library-sp' should always be included as it has docks and other objects needed for the seaplane bases.
• IT IS RECOMMENDED that you delete all the old versions of seaplane base folders before you install the new Version 1.1

Flight Plan

There is an included flight plan which will take you from Alitak to Zachar Bay, passing by the other 6 bases. You can maintain 2000ft for the whole flight, following the valleys between the mountains. A couple notes: if you don't want to land at Deadman Bay, be sure to turn west early to avoid being surrounded by mountains with no easy way out; between Karluk Lake and Amook Bay, you'll have to climb to at least 2500ft to avoid the peaks. The flight is about 100nm and should take less than an hour depending on the plane you choose.

Upcoming seaplane bases - I will be adding the following seaplane bases in coming updates:

• West Point Village (KWP) - new base
