Recommended Posts

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

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.

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?

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.

 

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.
