FS Dreamscapes - NEXTMapÂ® ProMeshâ¢ United Kingdom

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 07:37:00 +1000
]]>NEXTMap^Â®ProMesh^â¢United Kingdom â Terrain Mesh for Microsoft Flight Simulator X
The NEXTMap^Â®ProMesh^â¢United Kingdom is a new high-quality 4.75m terrain mesh product for Microsoft^Â® Flight Simulator X, aimed at providing the best quality mesh to flight simmers.

Imagine your dream to fly extremely low through canyons with walls so close that you have to fly knife edge in order to survive.

Imagine flying at this same low level by the seat of your pants, the adrenaline pumping as you snake and wind your way through canyons and vistas you never thought possible in a simulator.

Imagine your local landscape rendered at the highest possible resolution available for the terrain, looking every bit as true-to-life as it does through the window of a cockpit.

The NEXTMap ProMesh terrain series is based on high-resolution NEXTMap 3D elevation data for the United States and Europe produced by Intermap Technologies^â¢.

This terrain is sixteen times the resolution and 128 times more detailed than the default FSX terrain mesh for Europe. No longer are canyons 76m wide. Now you can experience the excitement of flying through canyons and valleys as close as 4.75m between walls. It makes for great low-level helicopter flying and for exploring unique geological formations that only 4.75m terrain can provide.

Unlike other mesh products, the NEXTMap ProMesh series is based on highly accurate and reliable elevation data, as opposed to the NASA 90m SRTM data, most of which has holes and voids.

FS Dreamscapes were the first designers to implement fractional elevation data settings, modeling all elevation changes to 1/25^th of a meter vertically.

The end result is terrain accurately reflecting subtle differences in elevation changes that allow pilots to fly in a virtual real-world enrironment, as close to reality as possible.

What is unique about NEXTMap ProMesh United Kingdom?

The NEXTMap ProMesh terrain is aimed at providing the best quality mesh available for Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

NEXTMap ProMesh Features Include:

5m NEXTMap based horizontal elevation spacing

128 times more detailed than the default terrain mesh in Flight Simulator X

16 times higher resolution than the default terrain mesh in Flight Simulator X

32-bit source data that translates into much higher vertical resolution in the dataset. 32-bit data compilation also reduces the striping and banding issues seen in other 16-bit terrain mesh renderings

Fractional elevation sampling provides samplings to fractions of a meter vertically (e.g., 10.25m, 10.75m) compared to freeware mesh with only whole number samplings (e.g., 10m, 11m), which means smoother terrain on the ground and even smoother landings

Flight 1 - Ultimate Terrain X - Europe

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 05:28:30 +1000
]]>Ultimate Terrain X Europe for Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Flight One Software, in cooperation with Scenery Solutions, is excited to bring you the ultimate in terrain add-ons for FSX...

Ultimate Terrain X - Europe Edition has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of the new technologies in FSX, and provide you with the most superior and complete large terrain environment to date.

Ultimate Terrain X features nearly all roads of Europe (with all major roads having moving traffic), several times the numbers of bridge objects (over 250,000), railroads, detailed water and custom coastlines, detailed ground polys, landclass enhancements, and that incredible night lighting system present in our other UTX products.

Countries included: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK.

UTX Europe is based on detailed commercial data from the Tele Atlas Multinet data set, plus a large amount of hand digitized work done at Scenery Solutions.

Roads, Rivers, Streams, Bridges, Landclass, Waterclass, Night Lighting, and more is packed into Ultimate Terrain X.

Highways, Roads, Streets

The FSX roads are a big improvement over FS9 (FS2004). However, Ultimate Terrain X takes the roads one step further, by providing extensive road types instead of just highways and most major roads.

The Ultimate Terrain X road textures are also very high resolution, matching the 1 meter landclass textures currently in FSX. Plus, the Ultimate Terrain X road texture types can be custom configured.

Having improved road textures is nice. But what really make our roads stand out is the attention to detail, using road encasements and custom ground polygons for the interchange areas. This can make a huge difference in the urban road appearances as you will see.

For every major road and highway that crosses a water feature in Ultimate Terrain X, a 3D extrusion bridge is displayed.

If you like the look of the moving road traffic in FSX, you will love the moving traffic in Ultimate Terrain X. Ultimate Terrain X greatly expands the moving traffic coverage areas in FSX.

We even include dark tunnel entrances for those tunnel roads that disappear underground.

Shorelines, Coastlines, Rivers, Streams

Anyone who is familiar with our Ultimate Terrain product for FS9/FS2004, knows that our products use the absolute premium commercial water data available for each of our product regions. This water data is the most accurate and detailed data available at any cost.

In addition to the standard coastline textures in FSX, Ultimate Terrain X takes coastlines to a whole new level, by including higher resolution rocky coastline textures, sandy beaches, concrete piers, freshwater dams, and man-made breakers. The coastline textures blend the edges of the water bodies with the land.

All oceanic coastlines have been classified by hand to give them a more appropriate look.

In the major metropolitan areas, FSX improved the body accuracy and details compared to FS9/FS2004. But outside of the metropolitan areas, there are still major missing water features and/or inaccurately positioned features. Ultimate Terrain X will add detailed water features throughout the entire covered region.

In addition to the quality source data, we have now enhanced our water features by adding more variety to the coastlines. Also, we have provided multiple waterclass options that will change the water color associated with lakes, rivers and oceans.

Ultimate Terrain X also takes advantage of our new "Radial Elevation Theory" algorithm, which allows for nicely channeled rivers that cut right through areas of extreme elevation changes. This new algorithm virtually eliminates the sloping water problems that are common with terrain hugging rivers.

Landclass

Ultimate Terrain X dramatically improves the accuracy of cities in FSX using our proprietary "Synthetic Landclass" generation system, which generates urban landclass based on recent commercial data sources.

Waterclass

Waterclass options are a unique feature of Ultimate Terrain X that controls the coloring and style of the water features for various locations around the world. Ultimate Terrain enhances the default FSX water by providing 4 different waterclass choices:

Blue water tint

Plankton/Algae bloom tint

Muddy water tint

Muddy water with Plankton bloom tint.

Water colors can vary dramatically between seasons. And, many users have different opinions on how their water environment should look. So, Ultimate Terrain X gives you the multiple options.

Railroads

We improve the look of railroads using higher resolution textures, railroad track encasement textures, railyard ground textures, and tunnel entrances.

A 3D bridge object is also placed where all railroad tracks cross water.

Night Lighting

If you purchased our previous Ultimate Terrain products, you know that our night lighting is a unique feature in this hobby.

Ultimate Terrain X night lighting consists of points of light that represent things like street lights, intersection lights, and vehicle lights.

In Ultimate Terrain X, the night lighting has been created with three things in mind:

Provide brighter lights against the very bright FSX background.
Prevent autogen reduction.
Eliminate the occasional "floating light" situation from differing mesh products.

Ground Textures Ultimate Terrain X includes custom ground textures for specialized areas (note that these are specialized textures and not general texture replacements like our Ground Environment product). These ground textures differ from landclass, because they take on the exact size and shape of the terrain feature in the real world.

In FSX, special ground textures are already used for city parks and golf courses, but in addition to the parks and golf courses, Ultimate Terrain X provides many other ground polygon features that are unique to Ultimate Terrain X.

Beaches

Glaciers

Cemeteries

Highway Interchanges

Tunnel Entrances

Railroad Yards

Small Islands

Parking Lots

Grassy, Forest, or Concrete areas for landmark features

Object Repositioning

To make sure that the current custom FSX objects line up with the Ultimate Terrain X scenery, we have repositioned many objects to better align with the Ultimate Terrain X road and water features. This includes things like buildings, ships, docks, and custom bridge objects (i.e. the Golden Gate Bridge).

Ultimate Terrain Setup Tool

We know that a great number of Flight Simulator enthusiasts like to tweak their environments to meet their own personal expectations and needs. As a result, Ultimate Terrain X was designed from the ground up, to provide a near total configurable environment.

Advanced users will marvel at the fact that they can have different textures assigned to nearly every Ultimate Terrain feature. For example, you can change the sizes of things like stream widths, road widths and coastline widths using the new Ultimate Terrain X Setup Tool.

The new setup tool also allows novice users to get up and running quickly and the advanced user to have unprecidented configurability over their Ultimate Terrain environment.

Flight 1 - Pilatus PC-12 For FSX

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 05:15:42 +1000
]]>The Real Swiss Army Knife Now for FSX!

Known as the "Swiss Army Knife" of general aviation, the new FSX package is a complete overhaul of our best-selling FS2004 version. This aircraft package offers several different configurations that include: commuter, executive, cargo, and multimission surveillance. This versatility along with the PC-12's advanced aerodynamic airframe will allow you to explore the FS world with unmatched flexibility.

Officially Endorsed By Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd. - Broomfield, CO

Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd. says:

"We'd been looking for a high-quality Pilatus PC-12 plug-in for Microsoft Flight Simulator for several years, and as soon as we heard Flight One had one available we browsed their website to look at what they'd created. We were simply blown away by what we saw. After downloading the model, we were even more impressed with its extremely accurate rendition of the PC-12's details -- right down to the British-accented voice callouts of the CAWS! The flight model is a lot of fun and it's a great way for Pilatus enthusiasts to get an introduction to a fantastic pilot's aircraft."

The Ultimate SUV

The Swiss designed and engineered Pilatus PC-12 is like no other aircraft in the world today. Whether you're flying nine of your friends to the big game, flying executives to Atlanta in first-class style, or delivering food rations to a short airfield in Alaska, the PC-12's ability to adapt itself to virtually any flight assignment sets it apart from other single engine aircraft.

Pilatus PC-12 for FSX Product Features

Flight One Software continues its "commitment to authenticity" with it's rendition of the PC-12. The performance of the 1200 hp Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67B turboprop engine, along with its Hartzell 4-blade aluminum prop, will take you to 30,000 feet as you SCREAM along at 310 mph. The available range of 2,239 NM will allow sim pilots to go coast-to-coast, with just one stop.

The FSX version of the PC-12 has had a complete overhaul. Here are just some of the new features that come with this new package.

Updated FSX exterior model with specular lighting and bump mapping

Dual Garmin 430 GPSs replace the single KLN90B

Garmin MX200 Color MFD

Reworked night lighting and lighting logic

Upgraded EHSI with Map mode and range scale from 2nm-50nm

Plus many more refinements and optimisations

The package also includes caution and warning voice alerts in 4 languages; English, German, Spanish and French which can be selected from the included configuration manager. Flight1's Text-O-Matic repaint utility will allow you to expand your fleet with customized paint schemes. Also included is a detailed pilot's manual, Garmin reference guides, and much, much more.

Just Flight - Spitfire

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:59:21 +1000
]]>All the aircraft in Spitfire can now get airborne in FSX with a free update!

The most famous and charismatic fighter aircraft of all time takes command of the simulated skies in a definitive Spitfire expansion - Spitfire contains 39 aircraft that span 14 different marks of Supermarineâs legendary fighter. All models are FS2004/2002-compatible; five variants run with CFS3 and two with CFS2. Each variant has been thoroughly researched for authenticity and accuracy. Subtle differences between the various marks are modelled, including four separate styles of throttle quadrant, landing gear controls and other equipment. No two models are the same â just like the real aircraft! This Spitfire package includes flight models, liveries, 2D cockpits, virtual cockpits, panels, sounds and instruments that are all reproduced to a phenomenal level of accuracy and authenticity. A bonus inclusion is period scenery of RAF Duxford.

Ask any pilot which aircraft from history they would love to fly and the answer is invariably the Spitfire. Iconic, evocative and with a beauty of line that has never been equalled, the Spitfire demands the very best in flight simulation design to bring it to life in the simulated skies. Expert vintage aircraft developers Aeroplane Heaven have combined the artistry of 1930s design and the accuracy of 21st century techniques in the definitive Spitfire expansion. The range of models featured begins appropriately with the prototype K5054 and reaches its zenith at the Griffon-engined Mk 22. Spitfire is rounded off with period scenery of RAF Duxford that includes the airfield, village and immediate surroundings.

Spitfire comes with a totally unique multimedia presentation that guides you through every aspect of flying this amazing aeroplane.
