Thanks alot, SB

I got this from AVSIM. The map is printed over quite a few pages. I then joined them together and covered it with duraseal. Came up really well.

or

From the Glacier Bay website -

Q: Where can I find online or hardcopy maps of the area?

A: The Glacier Bay v2 manual, on page 26, lists a number of Internet links for maps and charts. Aside from general aeronautical maps - http://www.naco.faa.gov/ and http://www.navcanada.ca - a great hardcopy map book of Alaska is DeLorme's Alaska Atlas & Gazetteer: http://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtp...mp;beginIndex=0

For British Columbia an equivalent resource is the Backroad Mapbook series published and distributed by http://www.backroadmapbooks.com and topographic maps of the Yukon Territory are available here: http://www.yukonbooks.com/topo_maps/web/yukon.php

Also, don't forget that Glacier Bay v2 includes a sectional chart of the entire coverage area, which you can either load via the configurator panel ("Sectional Map" button) or directly by opening "Glacier_Bay_v2_Map.html" in the "...\FSAddon\Glacier Bay\Alaska Glacier Bay landscape" folder.

Finally, we've included a "Glacier Bay v2 coverage area in Google Earth.kml" file with the package for Google Earth users. Loading that file into Google Earth will show a bounding box of the Glacier Bay v2 coverage area.

Have ya'll seen the Glacier National Park for FSX/FS9, both in super sharp 1.2 m/pix resolution, by Blue Sky Scenery? - Awesome! And GREAT on FPS! I fly it in FS9...

Contains spectacular Glacier National Park just south of the Canadian border, up in Montana. Although the mountains formed about 60 million years ago, the rugged landscape as we see it today is largely the effect of glaciers, thousands of feet thick, that grinded and scraped along the valleys during the ice ages, just about 20.000 years ago. Only the tops of the highest peaks were sticking out back then. The glaciers receeded since then, but there are many remnants in the higher regions of the park. What remains are rugged peaks, magnificent clacial-carved cirques, hanging valleys and deep U-shaped valleys filled with long lakes. Flying along the impressive peaks, horns and aretes gives you a sense, why the Native Americans called it the "Shining Mountains" or the "Backbone of the World". To explore the scenery, depart from Babb, MT (49S) - a small turf strip - and head west.[/quote]
