Antarctica XPublisher: AerosoftReview Author: Meng YuSuggested Price: $34.99/images/fsc/wbicons/store-buy-now-button.pngOnly discovered in the mid-19thcentury, Antarctica lays claim to the title of least densely populatedcontinent. During its winter months, only about 1000 individualsreside on the continent, all of whom are scientists manning scientificequipment for various countries. Scientists staying here have tocombat both the cold and each other. In fact, for several weeks ayear, scientists experience both 24 hours of sunlight and 24 hours ofnight (at risk of stating the obvious, these are a different "fewweeks"), making for some long hours spent indoors near each other. Inthese parts of the world, oversleeping and missing your boat out ofthe continent could very well mean only being able to get home thenext year. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Casey-03.jpgDespite the harsh conditions, Antarctica perhaps isn't one of thefirst locations to pop into your mind when thinking of challengingflying conditions. Airports such as Nepal's Lukla or Hong Kong's KaiTak usually come to mind for simmers looking for that. Nevertheless, through my experiences flying there for this review,I can attest to the fact that the runways here certainly give even themost challenging airport elsewhere a run for its money. Strong windsbounce your aircraft around as you attempt to land, and, on theground, ice runways make for some very poor braking action. If youshould venture out into this part of the world, turboprop aircraftwith reverse thrust capabilities are almost mandatory to tackle theseAntarctic airports. To fully experience the hostility of the cold, let's take a look atwhat Aerosoft has created for Microsoft Flight Simulator X andLockheed Martin's Prepar3D. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-scenery-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-scenery-02.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-scenery-03.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-scenery-04.jpgScenery CoverageAlthough there is an active tourism industry operating inAntarctica, terrain data for Antarctica isn't readilyavailable. Despite being rather desolate, terrain data on Antarcticais considered by many countries to have strategic importance, andhence, maps and other data are rather rare. Runways and other aviationdata is also a closely guarded trade secret as pilots and companiesoperating there prefer not to get drawn into stiff competition withothers over who gets to fly these supply runs. Despite these hurdles, it seems that Aerosoft has managed to obtainthis very data and recreated the entire island of Antarctica (withinthe limitations of flight simulator) for us to enjoy. It is claimed byAerosoft to be perhaps the most comprehensive model of Antarcticapublicly available as this is the first time data from multipleagencies have been combined, barring, of course, the work of anyclandestine agencies. All in all, there are 47 airstrips included in this package, withparticular attention paid to the following research stations: McMurdo (USA)Rothera (United Kingdom)Sky Blu (United Kingdom)Neumayer III (Germany)Casey (Australia)Scott (New Zealand)Sanae IV (South Africa)Besides the high-detailed strips above, there are 13 otherairstrips made with "medium detail" and the rest with lesser detail(but still a significant upgrade over default scenery!). A full map ofwhich airports are covered is availablehere. Moreover, Aerosoft has fixed the scenery glitches in the defaultscenery (shown later) when approaching the southernmost parts of theearth, giving you a larger flyable area. However, despite Aerosoft'sbest efforts, airports such as the South Pole Station are not modelledsimply due to how terrain is handled by current flightsimulators. From the screen shots of default scenery below, at theSouth Pole Station, even the clouds take on a very compressedshape. High Detail AirportsAs previously mentioned, there are seven high-detail airports spreadthroughout Antarctica X. Whilst the layout of each station varies, thestations all have some similarity to them: Several aircraft, severalsupply containers, fuel drums and some people walking around. Eachbase also contains appropriately liveried aircrafts, including C130sfor McMurdo Station. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-02.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-03.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-04.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-05.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-06.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-07.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-McMurdo-08.jpgDetailed as these airports might be, there really isn't much outhere in Antarctica and thus, frame rates are nothing short ofexcellent when flying in these areas. I hit frame rates in thehundreds when flying around Antarctica, making for some reallyenjoyable experiences flying there. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Rothera-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Rothera-02.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Rothera-03.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Rothera-04.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Rothera-05.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Rothera-06.jpgAn important detail to note when flying in Antarctica is that theseason setting really comes into play. Should you mistakenly select"winter", you may find yourself flying in darkness despite selectingthe time to be "day". Compared with the barren ice strips in the default scenery,Antarctica X really does a lot in bringing the continent to...life,however little life there may actually be. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Casey-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Casey-02.jpg Airstrips With Lesser DetailWhilst the airports discussed above has some very beautifulscenery, the rest of the airports are a little less impressive. For "medium" detailed strips, there are often no parking spacesmodelled, only runways. Depending on the specific airport, there maybe some tents or just a single snowplow as is the case with China'sKunlun Airport. Nevertheless, some medium detail airports such as BaseMarambio are quite detailed. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-02.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-04.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-03.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-07.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-05.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Medium-06.jpgThe "low" detail airstrips are similar, save for the fact that theysometimes barely improve upon the default scenery, with barrels alongthe runway being the only modification over default scenery. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Low-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Low-02.jpgAs to the exact classification, it seems that Aerosoft considersany airport that contains additional buildings/vehicles to be"medium", whereas the most barren of skiways are considered to be"low" detail. Hence, a more accurate count of custom airportsavailable in this scenery package would be 20, as the remaining lowdetail airports don't really have much appeal to them. Sky Blu MissionIncluded with this scenery is a mission titled "Sky Blu", whereyou're tasked with flying a Twin Otter of the British Antarctic Surveyon a supply mission to Sky Blu airport. The expected time forcompletion is 120 minutes, although it could take much longer. The mission itself is more of an introduction to flying inAntarctica than anything else. The objectives are simple and thereisn't much to do except watch the barren landscape pass beneath you asthe autopilot flies the plane. The audio communications between thecopilot and Rothera Radio are rather standard and seems prettyrealistic as to what pilots flying in Antarctica would do. I dosuggest that mission captioning be turned on under general settingsthough, as the static means that you may find it difficult to hearwhat the flight service station is trying to tell you. Landing during the mission is rather challenging. As the runway ismade up of snow, which is in turn surrounded by more...you guessed it,snow, the runway may not be visible until you are almost on top ofit. For this reason, your co-pilot instructs you to overfly the runwayfirst before setting your aircraft down. To my surprise, I found myself staring at a 1 hour 30-minute timerupon parking the aircraft at the destination airport. Of course, theoption to skip the 90-minute break before flying back to Rothera isgiven, though I am genuinely curious as to who might wait the 90minutes before flying back. Overall though, Sky Blu is a nice and simple mission thatintroduces you fairly well to the procedures of Antarctic flying,though I don't feel that it has tremendous replay value. Improvements Over Default SceneryPerhaps the biggest selling point regarding Antarctica X is just howmuch it improves over default scenery. Whilst this is certainly truefor all paid scenery packages, I find Antarctica X unique in just howmuch of an improvement it offers over default scenery. Antartica X's scenery configurator also allows you to accuratelyexperience the continent during either the summer or winter months. Assome runways are constructed on seasonal sea ice, runways literallymelt away during the summer months, forcing alternative strips to beused in these months. This gives the scenery a much more dynamic feel,adding to the realism and immersion. Particularly of note is the transformation of the entire continentfrom what seems like a barren wasteland to a barren land inhabited byscientists. Looking at the screen shots of default scenery, it goes toshow just how much Antarctica X improves upon your southern flyingexperience. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-02.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-03.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-04.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-05.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-06.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-07.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-08.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-09.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Default-10.jpgAircraftWhilst the scenery in Antarctica is very pretty, it won't do muchgood if you're not able to physically fly there. The icy runways andstrong winds make landings and takeoffs particularly treacherous, andwheeled aircraft usually won't be able to stop in time due to theimmensely poor braking action. As such, an aircraft equipped withreverse thrust is crucial when flying in the arctic. For those of you who're thinking about purchasing another aircraftjust for this scenery, hold your horses. Aerosoft has kindly includeda ski-equipped DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter of the British AntarcticSurvey in this package! On initial look, it appears that this aircraftis derived from their popularTwin Otter Xand looks just as beautiful. Included as part of the panel are some checklists and a handy panelstate tool to set the Twin Otter to a "cold and dark" state. Ofparticular usefulness is the interactive checklist, which will performthe action for you when you right click the checkbox. Thishand-holding is a very useful and welcome feature in my opinion as itturns the flight into somewhat of an "interactive tutorial", which iscertainly much more entertaining than reading 50 pages of manualsbefore even thinking about flying the aircraft. Nonetheless, shouldyou wish to read more about the aircraft, there are several manualsonline with regards to Aerosoft's Twin Otter. /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-01.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-02.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-03.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-04.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-05.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-06.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-07.jpg /images/reviews/antarctx/t/Antarctica-X-Totter-08.jpgProcedure wise, as this is very similar to Aerosoft's Twin OtterExtended, you can learn more about this aircraft in-depth from aprevious review here. Final ThoughtsI believe that most simmers purchase scenery to either enhanceareas which they currently fly to, or purchase scenery to explore newdestinations and this product certainly falls under the latter formost simmers. On the surface, it may seem that the work done by Aerosoft does notjustify the asking price. However, to be fair, we do have to considerhow little data on Antarctica is available to the public and thelengths with which Aerosoft had to go to in order to procure terraindata for this package. Additionally, I feel that the addition of a ski equipped Twin Otteris a nice touch as it is an absolute necessity when flying inAntarctica. This Twin Otter can also take on other liveries availableto be taken to places such as Nothern Canada or Alaska for moreadventures. In the end, it is difficult to give a definitive answer as towhether this add-on is a worthwhile package for procurement. However,based on my experiences, this scenery package opens up a rarelyvisited part of the flight simulator world and even provides you themeans to access this remote continent. Personally, I would certainlyrecommend this add-on to anyone looking to expand their virtual routenetwork. /images/reviews/antarctx/ASD-636-antarctica-x.jpgMeng Yu Purchase Aerosoft - Antarctica X for FSX/P3D
