From the "Life Below Zero°" Series
How many times you've watched the "Life Below Zero°" on TV, wandering how could have been to land on Kavik to meet Ms. Aikens, with bad weather and strong sidewind?
Kavik is a small and remote camp, which serves as a shelter and B&B for hunters, researchers, and adventurers.
Camp is South-East 44 miles of Deadhorse and 337miles north of Fairbanks.
The WHOLE wilderness in Alaska is constellated by thoudsands of small airstrips, mostly private, and there is almost no better place for learning and practicing bush flying!
NOW YOU CAN
Using dozens of pictures taken from the web and the TV series, I've been able to mentally map the whole area and meticulously reproduce each inch of the above.
Referencing has been the hardest part, and you won't notice at all that who designed this has NEVER been there before!
Each tent, tank, cabin, has been reproduced in detail.
Wanna know what's inside?
TABLE OF CONTENT

Ohio River Central Bridges
The Ohio River is the third largest river in the USA starting at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and flowing west to the Mississippi River. This package of 60 bridges covers the central section of 450 miles (725 km) between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, both of which have been covered in separate packages.
The Ohio River was a gateway to the west and allowed transportation of goods by barge from the east to the Mississippi and to New Orleans. River barges in the sim are mostly covered by water but... The Ohio River is the third largest river in the USA starting at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and flowing west to the Mississippi River. This package of 60 bridges covers the central section of 450 miles (725 km) between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, both of which have been covered in separate packages.
The Ohio River was a gateway to the west and allowed transportation of goods by barge from the east to the Mississippi and to New Orleans. River barges in the sim are mostly covered by water but this package brings them and the river to life. Dams were also created along the river to facilitate bigger and more regular traffic. These dams have also been uncovered in this package. Many of the bridges are very large, built in the early 1900’s and are still in use, but many have been demolished and replaced by more modern designs.
The MSFS scenery is a vast improvement over previous flight sims. However bridges over large waterways, rivers or other bodies of water are very noticeable and are an eyesore destroying realism. Rkbridger packages solve that issue with bridge packages which show the bridges in their true magnificence and also improves the entire landscape along the stretch of water modeled. All bridges are modeled in the correct architectural style with appropriate night lighting.
POIs have been placed at the bridges which are listed below.
Photogrammetry must be ON to ensure bridges integrate correctly with the sim.

12 different Helicopter missions are waiting for you in the DRF Hangar Office: read the story, fly to coordinates, land in designated areas. once landed, search for a sign with the Mamudesign logo, you will obtain coordinates for a bonus secret mission
You have 1 hour to complete each task (so each mission can be performed by day or night)
BONUS MISSION
A girl is trapped on a moving truck, your goal is to land on it to help her.
The truck location is secret.
To obtain it you need to complete the emergency missions, there are 12 of them, a new mission is shown on the emergency panel every hours, 2 times per day.
1. Fly to emergency mission coordinates
2. Land your helicopter in a suitable location: the right one is marked with four objects (cones, poles, bales and so on) in a square pattern. A blue box will appear to confirm you are in the right spot
3. Using the drone camera, explore the emergency area, looking for yellow signs, they contain the needed information to find the poor girl
Coordinates are as follow:
North AB. CDF
East JH. JKM
The sign has a letter and a number, so you need 10 of them
Have fun!
To accomplish missions (of for additional fun) two additional helipad has been provided in Halle Hospistal, ICAO are HSTMM (land helipad) and HBGKL (roof helipad)

It is recommended you always use our arrestor button anyway as it will always slow you down if you are on the runway and with the tailhook deployed (it will release if you bounce or go off the end). Holds aircraft in position until you retract the tailhook.
It will now detect whether you are needs an ANSMedia Moving Carrier and apply a speed offset to the zero speed.
Animated Arrestorwires are WIP
Currently there are 2 ways the arrestor script is activated. If it detects you have caught a cable on a ansmedia carrier it will activate automatically as long as the toolbar is open. (MOVING CARRIER SUPPORT FOR ADVANCED ARRESTOR WIP). Alternatively you can activate the fake arrestors from the simple Catobar Page which will slow you down if you are on ground with tailhook deployed.
Catapult
Catapult Buttons on Controls Page
ONLY FOR USE ON ANSMEDIA CARRIERS (moving carrier support Also WIP)
1. Press Either aft or forward Carriers button. It will then direct you onto the catapult line.
2. Press Button again when Lined up and message reads Click to lineup. Script will then fix any small inaccuracies in your lineup. It will then Initiate A hold script to stop any forward velocity.
3. Press Press Button Again to activate the Launch script when Click to Launch is Shown. You will be then be Launched 5 Seconds After your throttle is set above 80%. Toolbar Will then show Launch Complete
Catapult Buttons on Simplified Catobar Page
(works on Any runway/carrier that is not moving aswell as ANSMedia Moving Locations).
Speed Offset and Direction inputs are planned so this will work on all carriers.
There are 2 buttons. One for standard sized catapults (90m) and one for short Catapults (55m). The front catapult on the QE arkroyal proposal is a shorter one (55m) for drones and fighters only and accelerates quicker hence why the sort option is Included.
Simply press The button When on ground and below 30knots. This will initiate a Forward speed hold of zero (+speedoffset if your on an ANSMedia moving carrier). It will then Initiate the launch 5 seconds after your Throttle is set above 80%.
Catapult Script Terminating velocity is 80m/s (155knots) for all Versions
Pushback
(Works with any plane when on ground with idle Throttle)
Pushback of max 10knots - where velocity and turning rate are directly proportional to joystick position not just on-off speed and pointing change. It checks whether your throttle is below 10% and whether you are on the ground to make sure it doesn't trigger in the air and stops the script if you say fall off a carrier or increase your throttle. If you manually press stop pushback it will engage parking brake. If it stops the pushback script due to being off the ground, throttle position or reset being pressed it will not engage the parking brake.
The pushback also has anti-tip functionality aswell for both roll and pitch. It will now detect whether you are needs an ANSMedia Moving Carrier and apply a speed offset to the zero speed.
Future Features:
Custom User inputted Speed offset and direction for use on non-Ansmedia moving carriers is Planned. (This also would allow you to set a taxi cruise speed)
Custom Joystick Deadzone values and Max Speed is Also Planned.
Because of the Anti-tip functionality It is recommended you use this on Aircraft carrier Lifts. MSFS ground position changes are slow so will cause wheels to judder on lifts. Parking brakes will hold you aswell but Anti-tip should reduce Aircraft body movement and will make judders less visible especially in cockpit view.
Offset
A simple offset has been added which allows you to use sliders to add an offset in heading and velocity to the pushback and simple catobar scripts. This is primarily for use with non ANSMedia moving carriers but can also be used as a cruise control for pushback.
ANSMedia Carrier controls
The toolbar contains the controls for our QE Arkroyal and ITS Trieste Carriers:
CATOBAR Toggle for ansmedia QE Arkroyal
CATAPULT Controls and auto arrester script for ANSMedia QE Arkroyal (just requires catch cable with toolbar open)
ANSMedia QE Arkroyal DECK Lighting
Elavator and Hangar Door controls
Welldeck door controls for ANSMedia ITS Trieste
Additional FAQ:
The toolbar is planned to remain free.
We will not however allow forks or publishing altered version of our toolbar without express permission from us.
More features, Including non carrier features, are planned and this is a dependency of our carrier Project

Florida North Coast Bridges
Bridges in MSFS2020 are one of the biggest immersion breakers when flying VFR or into an airport with significant bridges nearby. MSFS2020 has fantastic sim scenery but the default bridges with their high visibilty due to their size and their location over large expanses of water ruin the effect and immersion. These rkbridger packages solve that problem with high quality accurate models that show the bridges in their true magnificence.
This is a package of 21 handcrafted bridge models re... Bridges in MSFS2020 are one of the biggest immersion breakers when flying VFR or into an airport with significant bridges nearby.

These rkbridger packages solve that problem with high quality accurate models that show the bridges in their true magnificence.
This is a package of 21 handcrafted bridge models replacing the default bridges, or missing and underwater bridges. The area covered is along the Florida north coast from Pensacola to Ochlockonee Bay just south of the State Capitol, Tallahassee. Bridges have night lighting where appropriate and the traffic flows on the bridges.
Military Airports nearby are the bases at Pensacola KPNA, Tyndall KPAM and Eglin KVPS.
The main civilian airports are Pesacola Int. KPNS, Destin Fort Walton Beach KVPS, Apalachicola KAAF, and Tallahassee KTLH.
POIs have been placed at the bridges which are listed below.
Photogrammetry must be ON to ensure bridges integrate correctly with the sim.
Bridges modeled are:
Ochlockonee Bay Bridge
Carrabelle Bridge
Bryant Patton Bridge
John Gorie Bridge
George Tapper Bridge

*This package is for the Microsoft/iniBuilds A310 and works with most liveries and other enhancement packs. Please view the user guide at https://www. southoakco. com/real-effects/real-effects-plus-a310 to understand the realistic conditions which cause the effects to display*
Introducing "Real Effects Plus" - The ultimate effects package for both inside and outside of the cockpit. Effects that compliment any style of simmer, Real Effects Plus is sure to impress. There are no "On/Off" effects, each effect has been programmed with many different variables that cause a reaction under varying aerodynamic and atmospheric conditions. Created by a real pilot that has over 2,000 hours in multiengine jet aircraft, this add-on draws from real-world aviation experience.
Cockpit Effects:
-Saint Elmo's Fire (Windscreen Static): Replicating the dangers of flying near thunderstorms, this beautiful display of static electricity flashing on your cockpit windows is a sight to be seen.
-Windscreen Bug Splatter: Yes, we did! Why bug splatter? Because bug splatter is a real, and real pilots have to squint through a dirty windscreen every time they fly. Ever tried to see a narrow runway with the setting sun blasting the bug smashed windscreen? Go ahead, airplanes are nicknamed "Bug Smashers" for good reason. Flying insects are most active in warm temperatures around sunset, you'll certainly see more bug splatter on your windscreen then.
Engine Effects:
-Engine Intake Vortices: Reactive to engine power, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and surface moisture. When the conditions are right, these miniature tornados are spectacular to watch as they pour into the engine.
-Engine Intake Condensation: Reactive to engine power, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and altitude.
-Jet Blast: Reactive to your engine speed. Jet engines are powerful, contaminated surfaces (water and snow) bring this power to light.
-Reverse Thrust: On a wet or snowy runway, watch as thrust is rapidly switched directions when your engine enters reverse thrust.
-Engine Fires: Set through your MSFS Aircraft Failure Customization menu. When is the last time you had to land single engine?
-Contrails: Out with the old, in with the new. Say goodbye to the default contrails. Our contrails depict the rotating wake turbulence behind an aircraft, and they look great.
-Engine and APU Startup Smoke: Jet engine starts nearly always produce smoke during startup. Excess fuel is sprayed into the engine during the ignition stage, and it comes out of the exhaust as smoke.
-Engine and APU Cold Starts: When the environment is cold enough, aircraft require cold weather startup procedures to prevent engine damage. Marvel at your engine and APU startup exhaust with this effect.
Airframe Effects:
-Wing Condensation: Reactive to aircraft pitch, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and altitude. High pressure below the wing to the low pressure above the wing is visually stunning when the conditions are right.
-Flap Trailing Vortices: Reactive to flap angle, aircraft pitch, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and altitude. No, this is not a fuel leak, it is aerodynamics at work. These trails of moisture look even better from an aircraft cabin window.
-Brake Smoke: If your brakes are smoking, you've got hot brakes. A heavy aircraft, hard braking, and hot temperatures will cause this.
-Volumetric Landing Lights: Too dark to see if you're in a cloud while flying? Turn on your landing lights. If you see your light beams illuminating the cloud, you've found your answer. Real pilots do this routinely, especially when concerned about icing. Default MSFS landing lights will not do this, but our effect will.
-Tail Strike, Wingtip Strike, Engine Nacelle Strike: Gusty crosswinds are a recipe for a wingtip or nacelle strike. Watch your landing attitude, don't strike the tail! A plane spotter will see the effects of your aluminum scraping, thanks to this effect.
-Fuel Vent Dripping: Airplane fuel systems all have vents. Warm temperature causes fuel to expand. If your fuel tanks are full and they warm up in the heat, fuel is going overboard. There's plenty of airport ramp stains to prove this. This effect does this, though it does not come with a fuel spill cleanup kit.
