Now lets take a look at each of the areas you get on this DVD.



Australia Photo Scenery - Area Coverage Blue Temperate South

Experience the majestic beauty of the the temperate southern and western regions of Australia. From the rugged mountain wildnerness of Tasmania, to the Victorian central highlands, the terrain variety will delight and intrigue you. It's like flying over a brand new country for the first time. Discover the southern capital of Melbourne, the central hub of Sydney and the western cities of Adelaide and Perth. This region covers an area larger than western Europe and is just as diverse in its geography.

Created in painstaking detail from aerial photos.

Australia Photo Scenery - Area Coverage Red Central Outback

If you've ever flown from one of the eastern Australian cities and overland to Singapore or elsewhere in Asia, from your window seat you may have thought that you were on a mission over Mars. The outback is a vast, red place and certainly the least boring of all the places to visit in Australia. With sometimes alien landscapes and stunning vistas, there is so much to find in this massive inland region. Huge craggy mountain ranges, salt lakes and a rich pallette of colors that can change overnight after the wet season, the outback is what makes Australia one of the most diverse and unique places on earth. Visit Uluru, Alice Springs, the wonderful west coast at Shark Bay, the mining town of Kalgoorlie and so many unique landscapes. There's so much to explore that you could spend a year and not discover it all.

• Fully customised landclass to show the huge variety in terrain
• Thousands of miles of sand dunes and ridges
• The most spectacular textures Orbx has yet made
• Made from licensed aerial photos

Australia Photo Scenery - Area Coverage Gold Subtropical East.

Despite being the smallest of the FTX AU regions, South East Queensland is in fact a VFR flyer's dream and sports some of the most enjoyable terrain to fly over in the simulator. Crammed full of small airfields and with a very diverse geography, you'll experience rainforests, the outback, hinterland ranges, lush rural landscapes, spectacular tropical waters and countless islands to explore, all with that typical Queensland look and feel.

Visit Brisbane International Airport, the city and up along to the Sunshine Coast. South you'll discover the vibrant Gold Coast and rich pastural farming areas, all superbly rendered with their unique crops such as bananas, tobacco and of course, sugar cane.

Australia Photo Scenery - Area Coverage Green Tropical North.

This is the "top end", as the locals call it. Wild coastlines, lush tropics, harsh, tough country and the home of cattle stations (or ranches) which are bigger than some countries. Welcome to the wonder and nature of the Australian tropics, and a region no less interesting than the populated coasts.

Discover Catherine Gorge and Kakadu National Park. Explore Darwin and the North coast. You will find the contrasting lushness and harshness of this rich landscape an amazing place to bring out the explorer in you.

Unlike FS2004, with FTX it's a case of the lower you fly, the more detail you will see! It's completely the reverse of what you have previously experienced, and it is only when you see FTX in motion on your PC that you will believe how truly immersive flying can now be.
