The Channel Islands

I don't wish to turn this blog into a commercial advertising space, but occassionaly something comes along that warrants an exception. And what the hell, it's my blog!


The exception in this case is a new piece of flight simulator scenery designed and developed by Earth Simulations Ltd. Or rather a new piece of art, because that's exactly what it is, whilst being technical and accurate at the same time.

This piece of scenery is rather like the Ferrari of the flight simulator world - Superb engineering, awesome beauty, and so desirable that everyone wants one. So, if you don't have it, then snap yourself up your very own Ferrari for your flight simulator, because if you don't you really are missing out.

What is this scenery you ask ? It's Alderney, the first in the series of Channel Islands to be released by Earth Simulations Ltd. So what is all the fuss about ? Well, it's been a labour of love and the results clearly show that.

With their unspoiled landscapes and unique blend of British and French influences, the Channel Isles really are a place where you can get away from it all to enjoy your simulation experience more than ever before. Explore wonderfully rugged coastlines full of beautiful shallows and fine detail. Fly in any weather, at any time of day and in any season you wish.

With five unique sets of 30cm resolution Day Textures, full 30cm resolution Night Textures, hand crafted 5m Terrain Elevation Mesh, custom 3D buildings and incredible autogen, with animations, the list goes on.

This scenery is surely a showcase for what can be achieved with FSX and sets the bar to the highest level seen so far. It really does have to be seen to be believed.

Visit the Earth Simulations website for details and purchase and download. If there ever was one 'not to miss' - this is most definately it!
