Thanks for the link Spud. Back in '77, after a two year hiatus at KCRW, we had returned to Alaska and Anchorage Tracon. The C120 sell deal fell through so I jump seated with Northwest to KORD then Piedmont down to Charleston - flew the damn thing back to PANC. Cutting a long story, enroute from PAOR to PANC I spotted the pipeline and unwittingly followed it to Valdez - just a wee bit off course. An old buddy was Tower Chief (had the traffic then) - fed me lunch and gave me a heading to fly 'til I saw the first paved runway.

Just WOW ! Took off from Valdez following the pipeline north. What a a job they have done. This is an incredible addition! A must have for Alaskan bush flying. The detail they have put into this is astonishing.

That looks really impressive! It also makes me want to get back into some helicopter flying.

RTTMM is addictive, now I have all the CIRP bases, and the CIRP hovercraft too. It's all your fault Spud. Thank you ! LOL

Aw shucks. Glad ya'll like phase one of the Pipeline. Three more sections to go. Sue, there's only a 'few' hundred more location to get now. (over 800 last count)

HHHMMM. What did I forget or didn't do ? I have the extras at Valdez--- tanker, tanks piers etc. and the cleared route for the pipeline with bldgs and suspension thingmees for the pipe, but no pipe. My Maul and I flew the line to Johnson pass and no pipe to there. We were down too low and slow most of the way and as a result there are A/C tire marks just short of the top of that saddle just short of Johnson Pass where we almost cleared it. Nothing too serious though as the old Maule is a rugged beasty. We will be at Johnson Pass for a few days.

carm, go here and download and install all three:
1. BWEP Object Library (be sure and install the Effects Folder files as directed) 2. BWEP AI Traffic (there are 2 included .zip files for a Helo and helo traffic. Unzip and install) 3. BWEP Southern Alaska (the pipeline objects are in this .zip file)
Some of the extras your seeing at Valdez are from ORBX SAK (IE: some tanks
Did you add the Object Library and the Southern Alaska to your FSX Scenery Library?

Elaborating on what Spud just said.
RTMM BWEP SAK V1.zip - goes directly to FSX\Addon Scenery
BWEP AI files - all ADE files to FSX\Addon Scenery\Scenery all Traffic files to FSX\Scenery\World\Scenery
FSXP3D WH_BWEP Objects_SW - three folders. EFFECTS - enter thirteen files in EFFECTS and two in EFFECTS\TEXTURE, Done (discard) with EFFECTS. The remaining SCENERY and TEXTURE folders stay in the original (FSXP3D.... etc) and go to FSX\Addon Scenery
Enter the "RTMM" and "FSXP3D" items into Scenery Library leaving both on top of Orbx.
