Developer France VFR has released their latest product Obstacles & VFR Landmarks V3 for X-Plane 11. The new product from FranceVFR compliments their other products in the region by adding over 500,000 obstacles and other VFR landmarks to explore within X-Plane 11. All of the newly added objects have been identified by the AIS (Aeronautical Information Service) meaning they are recognisable and can be regarded as navigational aids for pilots.
