4.4/5 (25)


IMPORTANT - LIBRARY REQUIRED! Emerald Object Library (Available for free here on Marketplace) is required for this scenery to display as intended! Not installing the library will result in most models not showing throughout the scenery. Emerald Object Library is our own in-house collection of static and dynamic models, materials, and VFX which allows us to push fixes for common assets across multiple products at once, as well as keep the required space of our addons to a minimum by eliminating duplicates in each project.

HAVING ISSUES? Please reach out to us before leaving a rating! Low ratings do not help us in any way to figure out and correct issues with our products. To do that, we have to know that an issue exists in the first place! You will find support links below for our Website, Discord, and PDF Documentation. Thank you for your support!

ONE WAY IN - ONE WAY OUT Chunilna Cabin Strip is an unregistered backcountry airport just 6 nm (11 km) to the Northeast of Talkeetna, Alaska. This private airstrip features a confined, short dirt runway at just 660 ft (201 m) usable. Departures and landings can be made going either direction for light aircraft, but anything past a Cub is almost entirely one way in, one way out!

After being released for several years, Chunilna Cabin Strip has been completely remastered from the ground-up! The scenery has once again been brought to life in incredible detail, with a heavy focus on environmentals and dynamic features, integrating the latest features from Emerald Object Library!

FEATURES One challenging Airstrip, including two creek Campsites. Reworked water, terraforming, & autogen vegetation, exposing multiple landable gravel bars along 6 mi (9.6 km) of Chunilna Creek. DEM & hand-crafted terraforming up to 2m/px, and fully compatible with ORBX’s Alaska Mesh. All models use PBR textures, up to 4K resolution. Custom Dirt & Grass ground materials with NRM textures for PBR and added detail. Custom environmentals including Weeds, Wildflowers, Native Shrubs, 3D Trees, Rocks, and Logs.
