The second installment of Aerosoft’s Antarctica scenery series is coming soon according to the developer. The product page is now available in the Aerosoft online store with the caveat “coming soon”.
Part of the Australian Antarctic Territory and managed by the Australian Antarctic Division, Casey Station can be found a mere 2,410 miles due South of Perth, Western Australia. The nearest airport, Casey Station Skiway is considerably closer but will provide a unique experience for Flight Sim pilots with the ice runway.
Though it is not yet available, and no release date announced, you will be able to purchase it from the Aerosoft store for €15.08 (inc 20% tax)
