Aerosoft Releases Lord Howe Island X for FSX

Posted on
Take off from the local airport and enjoy this beautiful island in the Tasman Sea close to Australia. Recreated with the latest FSX technologies and done right to the smallest detail (you will learn how to read a newspaper in FSX!) it is just a stunning place to fly to.

Lord Howe Island is a small bit of paradise on earth and its only problem is that it is incredibly far from where most people live. The Australians are lucky to be able to spend time there without having to fly half the globe! For Aerosoft it was easy to decide to do this project when Mat Dalton proposed it to us. His work is excellent quality and fits perfectly in our idea to cover the more special airports with dense scenery.

Although far from our main customer base this was a scenery project we really liked as it is a prime example of what we like in FSX, a high detail environment, difficult short runway and with an additional danger as there is no alternate airport in the region.

Features:

  • 3D terrain (not mesh but actual modeling with perfect vertical texturing)
  • Very high frame rates
  • Full photographic coverage of the island
  • Undersea coral reefs
  • 3D human figures
  • High detail airfield
  • Details coastlines plus all the small rock islands
  • Full night textures
  • Supplemental high definition runway textures
  • Includes flight plans to Brisbane and Sidney
