Helgoland X Available NOW!
HelgolandX is our most exciting FSX scenery at this moment, unprecedented in
detail and its use of the new FSX features it is a totally state of the art
scenery product. And unlike many expected, frame rates are stable and high,
making this a must have addition to your FS2004 or FSX collection.
This scenery was started in FS2004 and adapted to fully explore the new
options of FSX . Aerosoft took on the task to create the most realistic small
scenery possible. A lot of experimenting was done to find the best way to use
the options of FSX and although compromises had to be accepted the resulting
scenery is the most detailed they have ever released. It redefines photo
realistic scenery. The features speak for themselves but the screenshots tell
the real story. They show the loving attention and professional quality that
went into this product. Features: - Extremely detailed scenery (all buildings)
- 1 meter resolution mesh (so you see the smallest dunes near the
airport)
- Very good performance in FSX (most testers reported solid 20+ fps on
Intel Duo2core CPU's)
- Missions included (one to get to know the island, one to test your
flying skills...and more to come!)
- Animated sea gulls (better not hit those!)
- Sounds linked to scenery objects (waves, bird, ships and even the
sounds of the church bells at noon)
- Extensive shipping traffic (on nearby shipping lane and most regular
scheduled ship traffic to and from the islands and oil rig)
- Helgoland-Düne airfield (with extremely short runways)
- SAR helicopter base of the German Navy (start of your rescue mission)
- Mittleplatte oil rig (highly detailed)
- German Navy frigate (moving and landable)
- July 2006 aerial images (so fully up to date)
- Extensive manual (German and English available)
- Night and seasonal textures and effects
- Underwater structures
Helgoland consists of two small islands on Germany's northern coast. It has a
rich and varied history but they might still be unknown to many people. Don't
let this distract you from taking a look at this scenery because you will see
some things you have not yet seen before. In this way this scenery is a lot like
Lukla - Mt Everest (done by the same developer) that many people bought to see
what was possible at that time. Not only does this scenery represent the 'state of the art' in scenery
design, it also offer the sim pilot a chance to practice his pilot skills.
Although there are two runways, so cross wind isn't your main problem, landing
at Helgoland is only permitted for pilots with 100 hours under their belt and
only when they have short runway experience. Add to these small runways the
dunes that forever seem to get higher and closer to the threshold and you got an
airport where every landing is a dangerous one. Of course landing on the moving
frigate is a challenge that one serious helicopter pilots can handle. Two missions are included. The first is a short flight with some tourists
over the islands to let you get acquainted with the scenery, entertaining but
not very challenging. The second is a serious rescue mission that is extreme in
weather and tasks. Don't expect to walk away with your mission success medal on
your first attempt. The missions come with graphics and extensive and
professional sound files. Aerosoft feels that missions should be a part of
nearly any product at this moment in time. Technical limitations for the FS2004 version: - Ships are not animated because otherwise the frigate could not be landed
on.
- No landings on terrain as FS2004 doesn't support this
- A high quality mesh terrain (Helgoland isn't made of usual mesh terrain,
we created a much higher resolution 3D terrain - you can see the difference
to the default scenery)
- No wet runways when raining
- No scenery object sounds (gulls, church bells etc.)
- No underwater structures visible
- No animated ships shouth of Helgoland
- Fewer details at some locations (e.g. no 3D persons at the airport)
- No night textures
- No flight missions
