Salt Lake City International (FSX/FSX:SE/P3D)

Salt Lake City International (FSX/FSX:SE/P3D)



Salt Lake City International (FSX/FSX:SE/P3D)



The Salt Lake City International product, in its current iteration, is a snapshot of its real-world counterpart taking into account various initial phases of real-world renovation. Although the product, to our best effort, is a realistic representation of the current airport, it is still a work in progress. This means that the product will be continuously updated when there are new major changes to the real- world version (see more details below).
The product also includes Salt Lake City and the entire Wasatch valley suburbs beginning at Kaysville in the north to Lehi in the south.

PRODUCT FEATURES
  • Accurate terminals 1 and 2, concourses, hangars and airport layout
  • Salt City and suburbs
  • HD custom runway and apron/tarmac textures
  • Custom vegetation, buildings
  • 3D grass throughout airport
  • Free high resolution (7cm-30cm pixel) photo real textures covering the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains and Salt Lake valley
  • Color-corrected ground and water textures to reflect real-world land and water colors
  • Accurate hand-placed autogen that conforms with city, town, district, and farm grids
  • Major landmarks and high-rise buildings
  • Custom night light effects and street lighting throughout the airport and surrounding areas
  • Rotating beacons and receiver towers
  • Static local ground service equipment, cars and planes
  • AI ground vehicle conforms with real-world road grid
  • Fully optimized for steady/smooth simulation experience. All autogen can be set to the 100% with very little impact on FPS
  • Custom Configuration Panel to manage VAS and FPS resources

MegaSceneryEarth 3 - Puerto Rico



MegaSceneryEarth 3 - Puerto Rico


MegaSceneryEarth 3 - Puerto Rico



It's part of the USA but it's off the mainland. In fact, it is the USA's Caribbean tropical paradise. It's a holiday destination. It's a place 3.5 million people call home and it has over 500 years of history.

Featuring all of the latest version 3.0 scenery creation specs for MegaSceneryEarth, you'll never see scenery created with such vivid, sharp and realistic detail for FSX and P3D. Captured in all of its essence including the rich greens and hues of its tropical landscape and rainforest, its farmland, its red/orange clay soils, its tropical crystal clear white sand beaches and coastline and.... its tropical rainforest mountains.... all 3,500 square miles of it.

It's the island of Puerto Rico recreated for the first time for FSX/P3D in UltraRes photoreal detail and it's one of those places you always wanted to fly.

We're not going to say too much else about this title and let the screenshots speak for themselves. There is so much to see as you soar and explore and experience the realism of this tropical island territory.

Features, including the new version 3.0 design spec for MegaSceneryEarth.
  • Full coverage of the island of Puerto Rico including the eastern islands of Isla de Culebra and Vieques. Places you'll know include San Juan, Carolina, Ponce, Aguadilla, Arecibo, Mayaguez, Caguas, Bayamon to name a few.
  • UltraRes 0.59 meters per pixel resolution throughout optimally sharpened
  • New color correction technique applied that adds vibrance and highlights the natural hues and shades of the landscape, vegetation and soils. Watch the swimming pools all over the suburban areas and resorts pop amongst the scenery!
  • Over 700 miles of hand etched tropical coastline complete with waves and semi-transparent tropical reefs
  • Large water bodies shown as FSX water. Smaller waterbodies (5 acres or less) and rivers deliberately left untouched to capture the realism of the particular water bodies.
  • 24 default airports repositioned and realigned for correct placement cover the geographically accurate photoreal landscape.
  • Full set of PDF aeronautical charts for Puerto Rico including Instrument approach charts, airport diagrams and Terminal Area chart for Puerto Rico.
  • Faster framerates than default scenery.
  • Works with 5 simulators, FSX, FSX Steam Edition, Prepar3D V1, V2 & V3

Landscapes USA Connecticut

Landscapes USA Connecticut



Across all 52420 sq.miles of the Nutmeg State, Landscapes™ Connecticut includes:
  • 523,611 autogen buildings, including 79,491 accurately placed buildings and 444,120 houses placed by AI
  • 800,395 wooded areas with vegetation derived from US Government official classifications of ecological regions
  • Revised tree areas to minimize overlap of vegetation and scenery elements like highways and airfields
  • Hundreds of obstacles, digitally compliled by the FAA, and VFR POI like towers, water towers, windmills, grain elevators, and specific buildings presenting hazards to aviation
Landscapes(tm) takes the original Treeline™ to the next level by adding buildings and other objects to the trees and enhance ithe experience. The product brings back superior 3-D to photo-scenery and photo-real.
Landscapes™ is part of a continuing line of flight simulation products designed to enhance the simulated flying of professional and amateur alike. It covers North America and many other countries to a degree previously impossible and never experienced.
With the series, you can complete your photo-scenery and take it to the next level with full 3D autogen. You no longer should put up with the bleak low-level flat landscape of photo-scenery. Don't put up with the approximation to reality of some products. Overcome the complete lack of real-world spatial features in the original simulation products. Fly in a VFR environment rich with the real-world format of your existing scenery and enhanced by the realistic 3D scenery of VFR-series derived from 1:24000 detail scale commercial mapping data – equivalent to USGS Topo Map detail and numerous other sources for the USA and 1:25,000 for the UK.
This scenery eliminates or reduces the problems produced by imagery – lack of seasonal differences, uneven colors or contrast across various tiles – by covering the ground with FS native autogen capable of reflecting time but not laid out relatively randomly and in repetitive tiles like FSX autogen and other traditional FS scenery add-ons. This 3D landscape shows what is there when you fly over a location as it should be shown.
Works with all the most popular photo-real imagery
The product makes no changes to your available autogen object libraries (original or any installed add-on textures) and frame rates are the same as they would be for rendering similar amounts of 3D scenery using the same setup.
For FSX and FSX-SE (for non-commercial use) and VFR-Series Pro™ for Prepar3D (intended for commercial use only)
Landscapes™ states are available separately or in bundles:
  • Landscapes™ USA™ Complete – all the lower 48 plus Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the USVI
  • Landscapes™ USA™ East – states east of the Wisconsin plus Puerto Rico, and the USVI
  • Landscapes™ USA™ West - states west of the Wisconsin plus Hawaii
The product adds autogen, for the Eastern States alone, covering 923,596 sq.miles (2,392,103 sq.km), there are:
  • 41,520,109 autogen buildings - exactly placed where data was available or placed by AI process
  • 78,338,814 wooded or forested areas and individual trees in cities and towns
  • Thousands of FAA-registered obstacles and VFR POI like towers, water towers, windmills, grain elevators
  • Original Treeline areas have been updated to correct many issues of accuracy, e.g. trees on major roads
System Requirements and Recommendations:
  • YOU MUST HAVE PHOTO-SCENERY INSTALLED FOR THE AREA YOU HAVE LOADED Landscapes™ - We recommend MegaSceneryEarth v3 Connecticut for this title.
  • Generally follow the same parameters as good FSX installs
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X (SP2 or Acceleration), Dovetail FSX-SE, or Prepar3D for VFR-Series Pro™
