Orbx Releases TrueEarth US Washington

Orbx has released their highly awaited True Earth US Washington for X-Plane, they previously called the project “the most anticipated X-Plane announcement of 2019”.

The project, originally publically debuted on the 17th of April, is Orbx’s fourth True Earth region for X-Plane accompanying the Great Britain series. The region covers a massive 91,875 square miles and features 1,174 custom-modeled PBR 3D POIs and 42.6 million buildings at their correct location.

Available to purchase alongside True Earth US Washington is an optional HD pack for an additional AUD $14.95. This pack includes:

  • 1024 and 2048 texture options for all 3D models and autogen
  • 2048 textures for the Terraflora trees
  • BONUS WA56 Israel's Farm Private Strip included
  • Enhanced replacement and additional 3D buildings for the Seattle urban airports, designed to enhance the XP11 Gateway airports

Full Feature List:

  • 91,875 square miles (237,956 km²) of hand-corrected, crisp, color-matched aerial imagery
