The Mysterious Stranger can appear in the simulation just as in the Capital Wasteland, provided one has the perk.XVB02 model vertibirds appear in the Anchorage simulation despite not being scheduled to be deployed until 2085.The views differ from the artillery ridge and the Chinese compound, as the artillery ridge view has two water towers while the Chinese compound view has only one.Much like the water tower in Evergreen Mills, the one in the simulation bears the word "McLean.".Trying to activate the simulation again will simply result in the message "You must wear a neural interface suit to start the simulation" being displayed, even if the suit is equipped. Once the simulation is over, it cannot be used again in the game.While in the simulation, if the Cannibal perk is active, it is possible to devour the corpses before they disappear.When exiting the Tranquility Lane simulation via the abandoned house, it is possible to get into the failsafe terminal and read a letter from General Constantine Chase to Doctor Stanislaus Braun regarding the Anchorage Reclamation simulation, followed by the town of Tranquility Lane being attacked by many Chinese commandos. A reference is made to the Anchorage Reclamation simulation during the mission Tranquility Lane.It is possible to transfer some items like the repellent stick into the simulation because they are quest items and can't be removed.While there are map markers in the simulation, fast travel is not available to any of these locations.The combat apparel worn by the snowmen is much larger than the player character's. A Chinese flamer unit can be seen torching one of the American snowmen. They also have American flags, and one snowman has a Chinese hat on. There are snowmen in some areas with American combat helmets and armor on.According to the loading screen, motion sickness is normal and subsides momentarily.

This simulation takes place in pre-War Anchorage, part of the pre-War state of Alaska. At the very end, the writer questions why running the simulation was necessary anymore, since "any tactical data was mined months ago." The second entry dated September 6, 2077, tells of how Chase was making elaborate changes to the simulation which the writer of the entry felt was "divorced from reality," and that he was sure that the real Anchorage Reclamation had never happened the way Chase portrayed it. The entry dated Augdescribes how General Constantine Chase tested the simulation himself, but claimed it didn't "feel right," and that hardware problems were prevalent. Entries found in a terminal in the Outcast outpost detail the development of the simulation.
