Additional Product Information
Unbelievable quality and clarity... 47,300 km2 of stunning aerial photography at better than 4.8m/pixel resolution, showing every home, street, town, tree, river, valley and mountain in the scenery area! The scenery is generated from aerial photography (not satellite imagery - see below) at 2ft/pixel resolution, and is displayed at better than 5m/pixel the maximum resolution permissible in MSFS.
Terrain Mesh (elevation model) - Highly detailed & accurate... VFR Photographic Scenery USAs terrain mesh accurately places every lump and bump of terrain in the scenery in Microsoft Flight Simulator. So whether you prefer soaring over the [Mountain Range] mountains, or flying a fast jet through the [VALLEYS] valleys, this software provides minute topographic detail that will dramatically enhance your simulation experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator!
Interactive Water Bodies - Polish your water landing skills... To further enhance your enjoyment of the scenery, Horizons developers have hand-cut all major lakes, rivers, and large water bodies in the scenery area, providing moving, reflective water textures, and give you the chance to test your skills at landing float planes in your local creek, or on mountain lakes!
Night Lighting - Fly VFR at night... Rather than clogging your hard drive with memory hungry night textures, local maps have been used to position highly realistic point light sources to recreate night lighting effects, meaning that you to go VFR flying at all hours of the day or night! 3D Buildings - Barrel roll under the Golden Gate Bridge... To complete the picture, Horizons developers have also re-positioned and re-scaled over 437 buildings, bridges and other 3D objects provided in the default scenery to align with the photographic scenery, further enhancing your simulation experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Applications: Go Sight-Seeing/Explore Northern California Its not until you actually take to the skies for a birds eye view that you can say you really know the world we live in. VFR Photographic Scenery now lets you soar the skies free from air traffic control on your home computer, exploring Californias breath-taking natural beauty and gaining a new perspective on one of the most fascinating physical geographies on Earth.
Practice VFR Navigation If youre studying for, or already hold a private pilots licence, Flight Simulator and VFR Photographic Scenery USA is one of the most cost effective ways of practicing VFR Navigation. With every road, river, railway line, and landmark in the coverage area accurately and recognisably depicted in photographic detail, you can identify features on maps and charts to help you navigate cross country flights all over San Francisco, Sacramento and the surrounding area.
Fly Reconnaissance Before Taking To The Skies If youre planning a cross-country flight over an area youve never flown, VFR Photographic Scenery USA allows you to fly the exact route (in your preferred weather conditions) and collect Visual Reference Points (VRPs) which you can use to plot your course when flying for real.
Top Aerial Photography - Not Satellite Imagery VFR Photographic Scenery USA is created from the best survey quality aerial photography from the USAs leading supplier, AirPhotoUSA - simply the best data available. Whilst satellites may be the technology of the future, they inevitably suffer from the limitations that such altitude brings to image acquisition. Typically this satellite data provides inferior clarity and color definition when compared with aerial photography. Being acquired from an aeroplane flying at c. 10,000ft AGL, in the best possible light and weather conditions, AirPhotoUSAs archive of photography is the perfect source data for uses in flight simulation giving you the same views that the pilots of the survey aircraft would have seen on their acquisition sorties***.
