Orbx Announces TrueEarth Canary Islands with La Palma Airport

TrueEarth Canary Islands will become the first entry in the series outside of Europe and North America when it releases later this month, with the developer, Orbx taking to their forum to share the first screenshots of the scenery.

It was also revealed in the announcement post that a complete rendition of La Palma Airport (GCLA) will be included in the package.

"Discover the sun, sea and serenity of this stunning archipelago in an experience that only TrueEarth can deliver as you cruise along the coasts of Gran Canaria or marvel at Mount Teide as it towers above the island of Tenerife."

"Combining detailed hand-corrected aerial imagery and refined mesh means the islands are more lifelike in X-Plane 11 than ever before."

All nine of the Canary Islands will be included in the package, with a large number of points of interest packed into each. Custom-made Spanish autogen has also been developed for use with Orbx Canary Islands - the developer says that the new buildings have been placed accurately throughout all nine of the islands.

Orbx TrueEarth Canary Islands will contain the following features:

  • Complete coverage for all nine Canary Islands (El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, Lanzarote, Chinijo Archipelago, La Palma, Tenerife and La Graciosa)
  • Explore each island in exquisite detail with hundreds of points of interest to seek out
  • Includes Orbx payware quality rendition of La Palma Airport, featuring stunning PBR material texturing, detailed modelling and SAM jetways
  • Hand-crafted and colour-matched aerial imagery bringing each island to life
  • Accurately placed hotels, resorts, towns and other landmarks easily identifiable as you fly
  • Discover natural attractions such as Maspalomas, Teide National Park and Mount Teide in rich detail
  • Expertly crafted coastlines with beautiful watermasking for famous beaches such as El Medano, Sotavento and El Cotillo
  • Millions of accurately placed trees, forests and custom building autogen to provide authentic Spanish vibes across the archipelago
  • Project led by legendary developer Tony Wroblewski
  • GCLA La Palma Airport developed by the Orbx Havant Studio

According to the announcement post, TrueEarth Canary Islands will release on Boxing Day, December 26, for X-Plane 11 and launch with a 20% discount.

It's not clear what exactly the launch-day price will be, nor the price it will go up to after the discount has ended. It was also not made clear whether like previous TrueEarth renditions, two separate high-definition and standard-definition packages will be made available.
