FS2004 Scenery--Prudhoe Bay area on Alaska North Slope USA. Prudhoe Bay airport is now closed, and the runway is used for storage. Just to the south is Deadhorse PASC, with numerous storage, maintenance, and accomodation areas immediately to the the north of the apron, and others adjacent to the road between the two. The runway is just under 6,500 feet with approach lights at both ends and ILS on 04 (true heading of 75 degrees). This scenery reflects the overall situation in 2011. Nearby oil production facilities and buildings are included with PASC, as are others further away within certain limits; north of the now-defunct Prudhoe Bay airport access is restricted, stopping free-roaming private photography. The airport buildings and those close to the airport are replicas of the real life buildings; as distance increases the accuracy fades somewhat but not toally and there are everywhere replica trucks and cross country vehicles that are true to life.
