The scenery will be released in a “series of three with GB Central and GB North to follow in the coming months.”.
As usual, the feature list is nothing short of impressive and the screenshots are amazing. ORBX also released a video (the one you can watch above) with something very interesting: there are some video shots with helicopters in the footage -- including from within the cockpit, with Tom Woods' B429. ORBX seems to be winking at our community!
Official feature list
- 42,000 square miles (107349 km2) of hand corrected, crisp, color-matched aerial imagery
