Over fourteen months in the making and led by veteran developers Holger Sandmann and Matt Tomkins, the FTX Pacific Northwest region is truly a stunning achievement which combines all the elements of the much celebrated FTX AU region series, but goes much further. With PNW, Orbx has amped the quality of the ground textures to the next level, and sourced them from pristine imagery to create beautifully crisp terrain even at ground level. There is over 2.5GB of fully seasonal and annotated photoreal for landmark mountain and wilderness areas above the tree line, glaciers, lava flows, as well as including photoreal Seattle CBD, the ports of Tacoma and Olympia, KPAE, Bonneville Dam and many other points of interest. Additionally Orbx has created brand new autogen textures, hand-crafted every square mile of landclass, added full moving traffic, 3D night lighting and much more! Finally, over 450 default airports in the region have been upgraded with custom buildings and objects, elevation corrections and other details. FTX Pacfic Northwest is available now as an instant download addon and soon on DVD from resellers worldwide.

If you've ever flown from one of the eastern Australian cities and overland to Asia, from your window seat you may have thought that you were on a mission over Mars. The outback is a vast, red place and certainly the least boring of all the places to visit in Australia. With a sometimes alien landscape and stunning vistas, there is so much to find in this massive inland region. Huge craggy mountain ranges, salt lakes, millions of miles of sand ridges and dunes and a rich pallette of colors that can change overnight during the wet season, the outback is what makes Australia one of the most diverse and unique places on earth. Visit Uluru, Alice Springs, Kings Canyon, the Olgas, and the Indian Ocean coast at Shark Bay. FTXAU RED includes all roads, traffic, vertical obstructions, major towns and cities, 55,000 windmills and pumps and even includes roo fences for hundreds of thousands of miles. FTXAU RED is now available from http://fullterrain.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:16:17 GMT https://com-central.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=405 https://com-central.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=405 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM REAL ENVIRONMENT SIMULATIONS Sunday, November 30, 2008 Real Environment Simulations is please to announce that Real Environment Xtreme for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X, will be released today.

Coff's Harbour is a beautiful coastal city on the northern NSW coast, with a major regional airport nestled beside the beach, and the picturesque township, harbour and marina is surrounded by beautiful ranges and rural pastures. The Orbx rendition of YSCH has been made using 22cm/pixel aerial photos taken in 2008 and licensed from Coffs Harbour City Council to produce a regional airport with superb ground clarity. Orbx also includes a 5m custom terrain mesh for the entire area. Additionally, lead developer John Ross has paid many visits to the airport to take photos of all the buildings, terminals and hangars within the airport precinct.

Orbx is pleased the announce the release of FTX AU GREEN, the largest and most complex custom landclass terrain region for Australia to date! A massive technical challenge for the team, Holger Sandmann's innovative use of GIS data has resulted in one of the most diverse geographical regions ever constructed for flight simulation. FTX AU GREEN begins at the Pacific Ocean on the tropical far north Queensland coast, extends across to Darwin and the "top end", and finally meets the Indian ocean on the western side of the country. Containing the Great Barrier Reef, the lush tropics, the rich northern wilderness and the harsh red central desert at its southern border, it is a vast, magical, chameleon-like area with a kaleidoscope of colour. FTX AU GREEN is a landclass and texture tour de force and will take months to fully explore. Please visit the Orbx website at fullterrain.com for more information.
