over 20,000 square miles of the Mid Atlantic region of the United States in
photo-real detail including: the nation’s capital Washington DC, Baltimore,
Northern Virginia, including Richmond, and Chesapeake Bay.
Known for its
busyness both on the ground and in the air this region of the USA gives flight
simmers plenty to see and enjoy from the air including flying into 3 of the
major international airports this area is renowned for – Washington Dulles
International (IAD), Washington National (DCA) and Baltimore Washington
international (BWI). These 3 airports combined handle 4,000 movements a day and
are all within a 40 mile radius of each other.
This busy area,
5,000 square miles including the cities of Washington DC and Baltimore, is
recreated in MegaCITY source resolution of 2 feet per pixel aerial photos
supplied by the world’s leading aerial photograph provider AirPhotoUSA. The
remaining 15,000 square miles of rural regions are sourced from 5 meter per
pixel satellite imagery.
This is the first
time that this Mid Atlantic region has been covered at this size and in so much
detail as scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It will give flight sim pilots
hundreds upon hundreds of hours to soar and explore the very busy Mid Atlantic
skies on their PCs with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
