AL60 Sky Country Lodge

Sky Country Lodge (AL60)

SimVenture | A Hangar Studios 713 Experience

Most scenery ends when you shut down the engine. At Sky Country Lodge, that's where it starts.

Greg Koontz's Alabama grass strip comes to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, built to be explored, not just flown over. Land on the grass, climb out, and walk the lodge, the workshops, the hangars, and the lakeshore on foot. Then stay until dark, because that's when this place really comes alive.

FIND HOOTY

Your owl guide, Hooty, leads you through 13 discoveries around the property. Follow his clues, use optional hints and the live map in the included EFB app, and press Find Hooty whenever you lose him. Each discovery unlocks new activities and controls, and your progress is saved between visits. Prefer to jump straight in? Unlock All Activities opens everything at once.

OWN THE NIGHT

Launch a programmed fireworks show over the lake, complete with illuminated shapes and a finale. Turn on the raft light show and watch the beams sweep the water, or switch on its aircraft-tracking light. Make a low pass and set off the Fire Wall, or fire it from the tablet.

TAKE THE GOLDEN DROP

One tire floating on a raft in the lake. Five golden bean bags. Fly an airplane or helicopter and put them through the opening. It sounds easy. It isn't. Play five-attempt rounds, review every result, watch each bag fall with the optional follow camera, and chase a perfect five-for-five. Local records give you a reason to come back.

MAKE IT YOURS

Operate the hangar doors, choose the decorative lighting around the buildings and golf cart pavilion, and bring out Halloween or Christmas decorations whenever you like. Visit the pond for its fish, water effects and splash sounds, or take in the evening from the pier.
