NOTES
- Designed to be used with Bijan Seasons Enhanced 2024 (payware) and default Bing aerials.
Warning: If you don’t have BSE installed, you won’t have the intended experience. However:
- A crude version is available with the v1.1 release, to be used with non-Bijan vegetation. There may be side-effects.
- Back in Tongass Fjords days this strip was called Portal, Galore Creek.
- FS24 seems to have “CIE7G” location, don’t use its spawns. I didn’t spot it time for initial release.
- Sim’s helicopter starting locations’ numbers ordering’s logic is beyond me.
H02 is the pad in the camp in both sims.
- H03 is the main pad on Valley airstrip in FS24.
- Default aerial images have room for improment to put it nicely. I made a custom ZL20 aerial image for airport area, which works in FS20. A bug exists in FS24, where the terrain clips though the background image (SU3 1.5.27 SDK 1.4.5). Flightsim.to limits my upload size to 100 MB, so I’ve had to limit the resolution and coverage area.
Color Matching was done in FS20, differences are likely is FS24.
- Close together objects may clip some times, because they don’t spawn exactly as set in editor.
- FS24 polygons arent exact between editor & sim, so overlap may occur.
- Moving objects sometimes have a mind of their own and they wander off planned course, let me know if something wonky is going on.
- Work on vegeration have been done on the Ultra setting. Default tree models & biomes used in FS24. 75% Accuseason Advanced trees and default biomes used in FS20.
- Supplied details regarding the area may lead to updates.
- In case of discrepancies regarding this document, this site is the primary source.

I don't use it nor have marked my packages so far to be compatible with the app. Although according to docs, they ought to be (except that I place my readmes techically in non-supported fashion in the zips).

The camp's housing buildings are custom, are they all without textures? If not, can you pinpoint the broken ones from the screenshots? Do the common library objects work fine?
I just tested both August 29th versions on current release builds of the sims, OK at my end. Other readers may chime in as well, if you suspect something.
