Orbx Announces Landmarks Brisbane for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Making for their fourth 'Landmarks' package for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Orbx have previewed Brisbane, capital of the north-eastern state Queensland, as the latest destination.

Providing some backstory, Orbx said that "the city was founded upon the traditional lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people on the banks of the Brisbane River which took it's name from Sir Thomas Brisbane, the governor of New South Wales at the time."

In terms of the product itself, much the same high quality can be expected of Landmarks Brisbane as compared with the rest of their 'Landmarks' line.

"We have maintained balance and performance with our carefully selected 125 POIs, which include the Story Bridge, Eagle Street Pier and many of the hotels and apartments along the riverbank and CBD," the developer said.

"Our hero assets allow you to get up close and personal and we have included the recently completed Brisbane Skytower (the city's tallest building), Suncorp Stadium and the Gabba for the all the fans of rugby league, AFL and the cricket."

  • 4 high-detail custom landmarks: Brisbane Skytower, The Gabba and Suncorp Stadiums, Riverside Expressway bridge system
  • 125 medium-detail custom landmarks, providing a comprehensive Brisbane skyline while balancing quality and performance
  • Extensive terraforming across the coverage area, enhancing how our custom landmarks sit within the simulator’s terrain
  • Enhancements to the Brisbane River between downtown and the estuary: marinas, moored boats, CityCat ferries, New Farm Riverwalk, etc.
  • Detailed representation of the Port of Brisbane (Fisherman Island) and adjacent tank farms and industrial areas
  • Custom orthoimagery with partially exposed tidal sandbars and wetlands east of YBBN and south of Fisherman Island
  • Custom night lighting based on real-world photography
  • Perfectly matched with our upcoming YBBN Brisbane Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator

"Landmarks Brisbane City has just commenced beta testing and we expect to see its release later this month. So in the meantime, enjoy these previews!"

Singapore City is also set to get the same Landmarks treatment very soon, with 'final previews' emerging from the team over the past few days.
