PC Aviator Releases MegaCity USA 2005 – Phoenix
The city of Phoenix, AZ, plus 8,400 square miles of surrounding area all recreated from aerial photography for realistic visual flying with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004
Description
MegaScenery has gone to the capital of the southwest as MegaCity Phoenix recreates the city of Phoenix plus a massive 8,400 square miles of surrounding areas of the state of Arizona for visual flying with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 that’s at a level of clarity that is almost as real as real life itself – right down to being able to see sandtraps on golf courses.
The scenery is recreated from 1 foot per pixel aerial photos provided by AirPhotoUSA, who are actually based in Phoenix.
While the company is not endorsing it as a flight training tool or a replacement for any flight instruction the product does enable actual real world pilots and student pilots to gain familiarity of the area for real world flight ops and VFR flying applications.
And for the typical Flight Simulator pilot – the dreamer – MegaCity Phoenix brings the real Phoenix to their desktop for simulated flight in the area.
Like all titles from the MegaScenery team, NightScene™ technology is also included for realistic night flying that maps virtually every street, road and highway and uncannily resembles the same spine-tingling night flying experience you get in the real world.
