Antarctica Vol. 1 - British Rothera
Rothera is without a doubt the station in Antarctica with the most picturesque location! Located on a rocky outcrop overlooked by a massive glacier dotted with mountains to the west - it is surrounded by sea to all other directions with a line of the truly majestic mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula visible to the east on clear days. The runway is squeezed between base and hangar buildings to the left and right and sea water at both ends. In essence it’s a smaller version of Gibraltar, which i... Rothera is without a doubt the station in Antarctica with the most picturesque location! Located on a rocky outcrop overlooked by a massive glacier dotted with mountains to the west - it is surrounded by sea to all other directions with a line of the truly majestic mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula visible to the east on clear days. The runway is squeezed between base and hangar buildings to the left and right and sea water at both ends. In essence it’s a smaller version of Gibraltar, which is British, too. A stunning approach, a runway that’s crossed by a road with traffic lights and surrounded by water. To complete this add-on, we have added the very remote bases of Fossil Bluff and Sky Blu even further south. Together they make a perfect playground for the Aerosoft Aircraft Twin Otter (Coming soon)!A showcase scenery created by developers with more than 20 years of experience in MSFS development!• Lots of animation including animals, vehicle, boats and people, including likely the first animated penguins and chain vehicles in flight simulator• Custom created sounds of animals and vehicles (probably the first scenery in MSFS with sounds attached)• Coverage beyond the base with stunning glacier cliffs dropping into the sea• Hundreds of thousands of animated icebergs in a larger area around the base (at times it can be possible that the approach is blocked by a huge iceberg passing through)• Offsite locations of automated monitoring stations (marked as POIs so you can fly there for regular checks performing rough landings out in the field)• Offsite landing strips of two British field locations with custom models and improved terrain imagery/elevation data: Sky Blu and Fossil Bluff• Emergency airstrip location on the glacier above Rothera (alternative landing strip that MUST be used by local aircraft if there are incoming overseas aircraft)• Carefully crafted landscape to merge with surround landscape - including updated waterbodies• Special technique used to add wind shear details to the vast white lands on the glacier• Manual with dozens of pages of inside knowledge on flying in Antarctica, plus flight plans and simple charts
Antarctica Vol. 2 - Australian Casey and Skiways
The second volume of our popular Antarctica series covers the Australian Antarctic Casey on the opposite side of the continent, right on the mainland: A region of vast glaciers extending for thousands of miles into the continent.
We have included a large area of coastal landscape with its typical penguin colonies, icebergs and – of course – a very detailed base with its helipad and a lot to discover.

The second volume of our popular Antarctica series covers the Australian Antarctic Casey on the opposite side of the continent, right on the mainland: A region of vast glaciers extending for thousands of miles into the continent.
We have included a large area of coastal landscape with its typical penguin colonies, icebergs and – of course – a very detailed base with its helipad and a lot to discover. Take off from here using a helicopter, try to stay low above the detailed rugged terrain, maneuver your way through icebergs and find one of the two icebreakers operating here.
If you’re more into fixed wing operations, no matter if low and slow or high and fast, you can choose between two skiways: The Casey Skiway on the glacier a few kilometers above the base for medium distance operations or the Wilkins Aerodrome about 70 kilometers to the south – well known for its A319-115LR passenger flights (yes, that’s an Airbus on ice!) or C-17 cargo flights between here and Australia.
- Detailed Casey Station with all buildings, a lot of clutter and extremely detailed terrain
- Wilkins Aerodrome Skiway 70 km south of the base (intercontinental and continental operations)
- Casey Skiway (continental operations)
- Lots of animations including animals, vehicles, boats and people, including probably the first animated penguins and chain vehicles in MSFS
- Plenty of custom created sounds of animals and vehicles
- Coverage beyond the base with aerial imagery at various resolutions along the coast
- Hundreds of thousands of animated icebergs in a larger area around the base
- Adelie penguin colonies with thosands and thousands of animals at their real-world locations (performance optimized through instancing)
- An impressive custom fleet of typical animated and static vehicles and clutter
- Carefully crafted landscape to merge with surrounding terrain
- Including updated waterbodies
- Special technique used to bypass ground resolution limitation imposed by MSFS, giving the skiway ground textures a much more detailed layout than most airport add-ons
- Special technique used to add wind shear details to the vast white lands on the glacier
- Extensive manual with detailed information on flying in Antarctica
Arctic Icebergs
The function of this mod is to add icebergs to the arctic regions. Millions of icebergs float in the the arctic waters. The mod also add a water masking effects to change water color to a more light azure effective icy water typical of the arctic regions. It is very light on frames rates; easy install; great fun ! Cover the whole of the Arctic sea regions.The function of this mod is to add icebergs to the arctic regions. Millions of icebergs float in the the arctic waters.
