First Class Simulations , in association with RC Simulations, is proud to announce the release of X-Plane Photographic Scenery for Windows based PC and Apple Macintosh platforms running the X-Plane 9 Flight Simulator.
This stunning scenery brings the UK to life in X-Plane 9. With custom imagery at a resolution of 1 metre per pixel, every landscape feature, road and building is visible in glorious photographic detail! The underlying 10 metre mesh further enhances the realism by sharpening the relief of terrain data, adding a crisp clarity to every mountain and geographic feature.
"X-Plane Photographic Scenery has a wide appeal", explained Robert Stallibrass, Managing Director of First Class Simulations, "ranging from home flight simulation, to pilots and aviation organisations looking for an ideal training and refresher tool. The combination of X-Plane 9 and X-Plane Photographic scenery brings professional standard simulation to the desktop at an affordable price"
