Welcome to North America, and Orbx's most ambitious project to date. Over twelve months in the making, the FTX Pacific Northwest region is truly a stunning achievement which combines all the elements of the much celebrated FTX AU region series, but goes much further.
This product covers about 156,000 square miles of western North America comprised of large parts of
Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. It reaches from north of Vancouver Island to southern Oregon and inland to just east of the crest of the Cascade mountains. Major cities in the region are Vancouver (BC), Seattle (WA), and Portland (OR).
GeographyDominated by the towering volcanoes and sharp ridges of the Cascade Ranges and Coast Mountains the
Pacific Northwest of North America also features large metropolitan areas, flat valley bottoms with extensive farmland, hundreds of coastal islands of all sizes, and endless forested mountains with a long history of forestry operations. More than 450 airfields, from large international airports to tiny airstrips, are spread throughout the region, each of which have been enhanced over the default with corrections to runway position, elevations and many additional buildings and objects placed by hand.
To PNW we have amped the quality of the ground textures to the next level, and sourced them from pristine imagery to create beautifully crisp terrain even at ground level.
Going further, we've added photoreal areas above the tree line to many mountains, glaciers, lava flows, as well as including photoreal Seattle CBD, the ports of Tacoma and Olympia, KPAE, Bonneville Dam and many other POI's. Additionally we have created brand new autogen textures, hand-crafted every square mile of landclass, included full moving traffic, 3D night lighting and much more!
The icing on the cake? Over 450 airports in the region have been upgraded with custom buildings and objects, elevation corrections and other details.
