After recently announcing their focus on the area, Orbx has released their Landmarks Detroit City Pack for X-Plane 12 and Microsoft Flight Simulator. Located in the upper Midwestern U.S. state of Michigan, Detroit was once the heart of the American auto industry where it earned its nickname of the “Motor City” for its history with car manufacturing giants. Detroit is Michigan’s most populous city with a 2020 census population of 639,111.
Orbx’s Landmarks Detroit City Pack features 52 iconic buildings, showcasing the city’s vibrant downtown, arts district, waterfront, and industrial areas. The pack brings significant improvements across the coverage area including terraforming, vegetation, and building placement, while also cleaning up and improving photogrammetry data.
Orbx has also previewed the development of KDTW, the primary international airport serving the Detroit metropolitan area. The Landmarks Detroit City Pack is intended to complement the upcoming airport scenery and Orbx has stated that users will be able to take advantage of bundle pricing upon the release of KDTW.
You can pick up your copy of the Landmarks Detroit City for either X-Plane 12 or Microsoft Flight Simulator from OrbxDirect for AUD $14.95 | US$9.88 | €9,21 | £7.79 excluding applicable taxes and fees.
