Ed Correia Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Orbx is pleased to announce its next TrueEarth region - the Balearic Islands. As we venture (temporarily) away from the US, experience summer on the archipelago off eastern Spain. There are many popular holiday destinations in this stunning sun kissed archipelago at the center of the Mediterranean sea. The Balearic Islands are known for their lively and electric atmosphere, sun-drenched beaches, and hundreds of quaint coastal towns and resorts. Whether you want to soar above the party island of Ibiza, take a more relaxing and scenic tour of Mallorca, or visit tourist hotspot Majorca, seeing the Balearic Islands with such lifelike detail is truly breathtaking. Buried deep in the mountains and along the shores across the entire Balearics, numerous coastal towns, cities and hotel complexes await you. Over 150 attractions, major hotels and historical buildings have been faithfully recreated giving you the chance to see these resorts from a truly unique perspective. Each island has its own unique flair and charm, complete with Spanish styled buildings, points of interest and autogen. Using the latest data, each tree and building is placed correctly on each island for a truly authentic simulation experience. This is a visually stunning part of the world, and is excellent for all types of virtual pilots with detail for VFR pilots and great destinations for those in the jets. Features Crisp and highly detailed 60cm/px aerial imagery covering Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera and all the smaller surrounding islets Hand-edited texturing with colour corrections to blend seamlessly in the simulator Over 150 POIs covering major hotels, attractions, historical buildings across all the Islands Accurate Spanish themed autogen placed correctly on the aerial imagery at the correct location and height Highly detailed mesh created from 5M LiDAR data brings out stunning detail on the coastlines and mountains Beautiful accurate vegetation matching colour, type and height A fantastic destination for all types of pilots; jet fliers or general aviation fans Enjoy these early screenshots from Iain and Filou!

bradley27 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Looks good but will there be a P3D version and if so will it work with the 3rd party airports from Simwings and MK Studios? Does it have season changes? The Canary Islands are another perfect area for this kind of project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badl4ndz Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Can't Orbx complete what they started? We are still awaiting the Channel Islands. Secondly, I completely agree with Bradley regarding the Canary Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the subtropical climate there is not much of seasonal changes on these islands. And BTW, since when there are seasons possible within XP?

David Woodford Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 very cool. so many of us Brits know these islands. My pal was flying a real life Menorca and back last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehas78 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Any ideas regarding price and download size? I'm guessing both will be less than usual, with the smaller coverage area. Will the Pilot Plus Ibiza become an official partner product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crom UK Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Damn....I was not aiming to buy any more scenery for X-plane but I love the Balearic islands. My wallet hates Orbx as much as I love their scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Árni Stefán Árnason Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have more or less all your productst. These houses in this scenery are rubbish to be honest. The rest is what I expected, good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is what I expected, good. I didn't see anything in testing that I would have described as 'rubbish'. Sure, many houses sit with parts in the air but that's an X Plane problem, and is not generally visible if you are flying around at a legal altitude. I'd be interested in some specific examples of where the houses are rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
