Having already published one scenery in the past couple of hours, Orbx evidently see it fit to announce one more, with the official announcement for Cityscape Sydney hitting the group's forum today.

The company from down-under are yet to release a product for Microsoft Flight Simulator from their homeland, though developer Frank Schnibben hopes to change that in the coming weeks with Cityscape Sydney.

Representing the skyline of Australia's most populous city, Cityscape Sydney follows Orbx's London Landmarks pack as one of the first VFR addons available for MSFS. Developed over nine months, the developer claims that 'over 100 custom points of interest have been faithfully recreated, including the city's tallest skyscrapers, well-known icons, sports stadiums and bridges.'

"Whilst most of these have been created with a high level of detail that prioritises high optimization and unique PBR texturework, we have created a few ultra-high-detail "hero assets" - models that rival airport terminals in terms of detail - perfect for exploring right up close. You can see this in action with our incredibly detailed Sydney Harbour Bridge - the centrepiece of this scenery."

The full feature list is as follows:

• Our first Australian scenery for MSFS
• An entire Cityscape covering the City of Sydney
• Airport terminal-quality Hero Assets such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge
• 103 Custom PBR landmarks across the Sydney metro area
• 28,000 replacement buildings with corrected heights, footprints and building types
• 250km2 of pristine custom aerial imagery - perfectly colour balanced and hand-edited
• Thousands of placed objects to bring the Harbour City to life
• Stunning night lighting
• Replacement watermasking for more accurate coastlines
• Improved tree heights in select locations
• Improved suburban centres and POIs beyond the primary coverage zone
• Port Botany recreated
• From acclaimed developer Frank Schnibben, with assistance from our in-house team

Whilst being the first in Australia (for MSFS) for the brand, Orbx have promised several more projects in the region - as well as more information and previews for Cityscape Sydney - in the coming weeks.

There's no forecast on release date just yet, though stay tuned for further information.
