Orbx Announces Singapore Landmarks Pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator

A third piece of VFR scenery news from a third developer this week with Orbx announcing today that a recreation of Singapore's skyline will be coming soon to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

As always, the news was shared on the group's web forum, with the developer claiming that over 150 points of interest have been placed in this scenery, with 20 of those being labelled 'high-detail' for the most recognisable buildings.

According to Orbx, the work of their TrueEarth team allows you to "get up close and personal, whilst still maintaining excellent performance across the city."

Speaking to the 130 'medium-detail' points of interested, they say that they are the "Perfect balance between quality and performance. They allow us to capture the essence of the city’s unique architecture, without impacting performance."

The features for Singapore Landmarks by Orbx include:

  • 20 high-detail custom landmarks including Supertree Grove, Helix Bridge, The Fullerton Hotel and the Old and New Supreme Courts
  • 130 medium-detail custom landmarks, balancing quality and performance.
  • Extensive terraforming across the coverage area, enhancing how our custom landmarks sit within the simulator’s terrain.
  • Unique laser lights on the Marina Bay Sands Hotel
  • Custom night lighting based on real-world photography.
  • Enhancements to harbour, port, and industrial areas between Jurong Island and Changi Airport
  • In the same post, Orbx promised further Landmarks projects will be shown off in the coming weeks.

Additionally, the team appear to have let slip that they are working on converting Brisbane Airport to Microsoft Flight Simulator, as the post listed Queensland's largest city as one of the achievements of their Havant Studio in the new simulator.
