Farallon Island Chain, Version 4

File Description:
Beta version 4: Combines North, Middle, and Southeast Farallon Islands into one download. Lighthouse added to Southeast Farallon Island along with the water catchment pad (also serves as helipad). These islands were mysteriously absent from the FS2004 default scenery, probably owing to their small size. When I went to look for them I found a small mountain of water instead of the islands. Most people don't seem to be aware of the Farallon Islands. Located off the coast of California, near San Francisco, they are home to thousands of birds, seals, and some of the largest Great White sharks known to man. All of this is within a very short distance of the city. Today, it is a wildlife refuge and is off limits to visitation by the general public. Those of you interested in more info might check out "The Devil's Teeth" by Susan Casey. These islands were created as scenery objects instead of traditional terrain in order to preserve detail. The terrace on the Southeast Farallon Island is landable now but the terrain is pretty rough. If you're in Timberwolf Aviation and you're doing the multiplayer session on 03/26/2006, this is the version you should get.
