MOJAVE DESERT PAINTING

ALKALI FLATS


Alkali Flats is a small town sandwiched between the dry beds of Lake Panamint and the boundaries of Death Valley National Park In this sequence, we see the open Mojave Desert north and east of Alkali Flats taking shape, leveraging irregularly shaped asset blocks used to lay down the overlapping carpets of seasonal vegetation and default rocks. The zoom effect introduced with TrainSimulator 2014 allows users to peer deep into the terrain, so we filled in the region bounded by the hairpin curve in the main lines as they begin their long ascent.
