Awesome! Reminds me of my time spent working for BAS, thought I never got futher afield than their offices in Cambridge lol.

Amazing! Good News that work continues!

Thanks for the pictures!

Regards

As the saying goes LOOKING GOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

It's so hard to wait for the release

Yes absolutly, but what can we do exept waiting and waiting and waiting... sadly we can't help developing.

A team of scientists watching the arrival of a Twin Otter on a Glacier Skiway near the Chilean/German O'Higgings Base.

Awesome, will the snowmobile be "pilotable"

Really not bad! I'm absolutly looking forward to this.

Do you have any timelines we could get to know? I'm not asking for a releasedate, but i would really like to know at least the season. Is summer possible?

Sascha send me this one of the skidoo on smooth ice.. Not drivable though.

Anyone every cared to know what a First Class Flight to Antarctica looks like?

Looks more comfortable than the back of an RAF C130

Loved the episode of Michael Palin's pole to pole in which they flew to Antarctica in an old DC6 - looked slightly more comfortable than this picture.

Not a DC6 but DC...

Is this going to be possible in your addon if we are landing somewhere in nowhere (Not at an "airport")?

Yep I agree certainly beats Crab Air by a long shot. One thing might be the same though, climbing over everyone to get the loo.

That when the loo wasnt blocked by the first person to use it, which happened way too often in my experience

Great shots. I look very much forward to it. Remember you promised me a place in the Beta-team.

Thanks Sascha. I look forward to hearing from you...

I have to apologize that I haven't been able to answer a single beta test application as yet.

I'm very soon moving with my family from one continent from another, meaning that all the time I don't use for development goes into organizing that.

Please give me another 4 weeks or so and beta testing will finally start. This also means that there is no deadline for application as yet! Whoever wants to apply can still do so!

As a little apology here's a bunch of screenshots that finally shows some of the landscape in its full glory. Most of what you see here is continent-wide in this quality! Therefore it wasn't that easy to find some good spots because there are just too many.

James Ross Island with Antarctic Peninsula in background

Fildes Peninsula, home to many bases and and the Frei Airbase Hub (Chile)

View from Mount Erebus (active volcano) to McMurdo (USA), which is on the tip of the Peninsula you see in the distance

Approaching Frei Base (a good example to show the lesser detailed bases - the featured ones like McMurdo, Casey, Rothera and others will look way better)

It looks stunningly good Sascha. Take your time, I can wait. I wont get off the continent for a long time, once I get on it - from the looks of this. Fantastic work...
