This will bring us to over 3,800 miles of air mail routes covering:

From v1

  • CAM5 Salt Lake City - Pasco (543 miles)

From v2

  • CAM32 Portland to Spokane (333 miles)

New for v3

  • CAM4 Los Angeles - Salt Lake City (630 miles)
  • CAM8 San Diego - Seattle (1,166 miles)
  • The western leg of CAM18 San Francisco - Chicago, taking you as far as Salt Lake City (618 miles)
  • CAM26 Great Falls - Salt Lake City (516 miles)

In addition, v3 has:

  • new hubs at Salt Lake City & Reno
  • new animated hangar designs with the CAM contractor
  • new arrow types
  • a total of 47 Intermediate Landing Fields
  • an updated manual with route maps and contemporary weather overviews for the new states you will be flying through (no METAR or weather radar allowed!)
