Florida Landings Scenery for FSX & FS2004

This package follows true-to-life renders and imagery, ready to be downloaded immediately for gameplay. The player will not be displeased with the results contained in this sim download. The available scenery covers an extensive 5,000 square kilometer, or 3,100 square miles, including the main airport of Miami, as well as 16 airport taxiways. It will also be good to note that the download is just under 500 megabytes.

The source images are rendered from satellite and aerial sources, with a ratio of 1ft : 1px in order to allow for the best possible quality and resolution, along with accurate color depictions and borderless transitions into the default terrain.

Also included around each airport are thousands of automatically generated buildings and foliage surrounding the each landing for a true, three-dimensional landing experience, allowing the player to enjoy the best this addon can offer. Even more that is included in this scenery package are seasonal changes, from summer to winter, along with in-house night imagery developed to emulate realistic lighting, instead of generic flood lights surrounding each building. This allows for more impressive night scenes, with lights from buildins below dotting the cityscape, just as one would see realistically.

The player can also enjoy landable lakes and rivers, optimized graphics, and precise placement in the scenery, allowing the player to enjoy correct positioning at each airport.

Some users may experience black frames around lakes. By setting the texture resolution within fsX should fix the problem.

The new FSX generated vehicle traffic is not compatible with this scenery at some areas so we recommend disabling this feature when you fly over the Florida scenery.

Review

The package is described as covering 'over 5000 square kilometers of South East Florida including photorealistic surrounding of its main airport Miami', the blurb continuing to say that the sixteen included airport's taxiways have been realigned and adjusted so that they blend realistically into the surrounding terrain. According to the website, 'the source image is a 1 foot/pixel combination of satellite and aerial image for the best possible resolution colormatched to the default FS scenery allowing borderless transition into the default terrain'. AutoGen has been adjusted around the airports and you also get seasonal changes as well as night scenery. The rivers and lakes are landable and a total of sixteen airports are included, the full list being: KMIA, KOPF, KTMB, KHWO, KFLL, KHST, X51, FL31, 78FD, 04FA, 14FA, 22FD, FA35, X44, X46, FL6. What you don't get, or at least I think you don't get, is enhanced mesh or any custom scenery at the airports. - FlightSim.
