Description
The Chitina River is shown as a giant contiguous body of water in the sim when in reality it is a complex multi threaded river channel with hundreds of gravel bars. Pictures show the before and after, should be pretty obvious which is which.
I've corrected the span of river from it's confluence with the Nizina River to it's confluence with the Copper River. As I have time I will continue to work on river corrections in the area.
One unnamed backcountry landing strip exists near the confluence of the Nizina River and the Chitina River. I've given it a fictional name of Nizina's End but if someone knows what it's actually called, please let me know. ---JimmyAk has found Wrangell Mtn Air refers to it as Nizina Chitina Confluence and they use it for emergency landing training (fun fact).
ICAO: N774
If you appreciate my work just leave me a rating and a comment or message me on discord.
