True To Life Scenery Of "The City By The Bay" For Microsoft
Flight Simulator
MegaScenery publisher, PC Aviator,
today announced that the third volume of MegaScenery –
Northern California, featuring San Francisco, Sacramento and 38,000
square miles of surrounding countryside has gone gold and is
scheduled for release on 7 June 2004.
Bigger, better and prettier than previous MegaScenery areas,
"MegaScenery Volume 3: Northern California" has been recreated from
5 meter satellite imagery and puts Microsoft Flight Simulator
pilots up there in the skies above this diversely picturesque
region of the United States.
San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, down to Monterey bay and
inland to the W120.5 longitudinal line…. and everything else
in between: Flight Simulator pilots will be able to take to the
skies and navigate this expansive scenery identifying everything
down to individual rooftops on houses.
Aerosoft Australia, developers of MegaScenery, have continued to
enhance MegaScenery technology and this volume comes with even
further improved night scenery.
It also incorporates high-resolution 30 meter terrain mesh for
elevation data resulting in even more realistic mountains and
valleys.
While there are other photo-realistic scenery products available
only MegaScenery provides complete night scenery for the entire
area so users get both a day and night VFR flying experience.
Just like the previous titles and all future MegaScenery titles,
the Northern California package comes with all of the real world
aeronautical charts required to fly the scenery [like a pilot] and
to identify all of the major landmarks the scenery contains.
