Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 20, 2008 Aerosoft Share Posted March 20, 2008 When was the last time you could read the headlines of a newspaper in FSX? probably never, but FSX does make textures of that detail possible and Mat, our latest favorite developer, just done it it Lord Howe X. A tiny treasure rising out of the emptiness of the southern Pacific Ocean and part of the Australian state of New South Wales, Lord Howe Island is one of the world's last truly unspoiled Island destinations. Having been done to fully FSX standards it is fast as you never seen before, even though the level of details is amazing. Lord Howe Island will be available next week for FSX.

dexdoggy 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 OH HAPPY DAY! This is awesome, Pack your snorkel gear, get in your plane and lets go! Just don't spook the LHI Woodhens on approach (Actually, they don't fly)! Yeh, I hope SP2 isn't required. Is the 1st World Heritage scenery? Looks like another hit on my credit card :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLighT 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Wow. The most amazing thing is for the first time I'm noticing rock face striations that run horizontally as well as vertically. In all my years of flight simming that's always the biggest detraction with MSFS. Steep rock faces always look like they were painted with a brush from top to bottom. But these rock face textures are so complex it's almost like a photgraph. If this could be applied to the Grand Canyon... credit card at ready. By the way, is Nick of Nicks Pics, Nick Churchill?
