Expedition to Antarctica

For most people, an expedition to Antarctica is certainly as far away as climbing Mount Everest. Although it is now possible to visit Antarctica as a tourist, it is much more comfortable to get a few impressions with the flight simulator. Anyone who has not yet done so will indeed be extremely impressed. Antarctica has around 100 inhabitants, but the seventh continent does not belong to any state, although some states have made claims. Nevertheless, depending on the time of year, between 1,000 and 1,300 people live in Antarctica, mainly scientists and tourists, of course. These are mainly transported and supplied by water or air. As a pilot for a supply company, you will now take on part of this task and fly in a circle around most of Antarctica, which is, incidentally, much larger than the European continent.

In a total of 8 legs, you will cover 9,100 kilometers (4,900 nautical miles), which initially sounds like very long flight distances. If the legs seem too long, you can shorten the time with a specially implemented teleport function. As there are only a few landing strips in Antarctica in the flight simulator, 6 new snow airfields have been created for this expedition and 3 existing airfields have been modified. All runways have a smoke signal and lighting to make them stand out from the snowy landscape. All research stations depicted in the MSFS that are approached have been supplemented with fictitious buildings and can now be recognized as such. The DC-3, which was mainly used for transportation between 1948 and 1968, is used as the aircraft. Those who prefer to transport passengers and like it more modern and faster can use the TBM 930 for this mission. The aircraft on offer are ideally suited for snow and ice slopes and are equipped with GPS navigation. As there are hardly any distinctive terrain markings in the Antarctic, a VFR flight is not possible without additional navigation equipment such as a sextant and drift meter. You can find out how to obtain the GPS course here: https://www.koschis-web.de/en-us/help-support#gps The package also includes a second mission with a private jet that takes you directly over the South Pole. The texts are machine translated into English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean and Turkish. If you find any translation errors, please let us know. All flights can be found under Activities -> Custom Content. Many functions are unlocked in the options with which you can customize your flight experience.

Antarctica is the ultimate destination on any intrepid globetrotter's bucket list. A dream for many and an experience for few. An unearthly beautiful empty landscape and the only place on earth that is still as it should be awaits you. Have a safe flight and always happy landings from Nordheim Missions and Koschi.
