After announcing a range of upcoming Landmark City Parks for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Orbx has today shared the first previews of Frankfurt Landmarks City Pack in action. The soon-to-be-released product will feature a number of custom landmarks designed to enhance the skyline of the famous German city.
In the forum post shared by Orbx, the product will feature 11 detailed landmarks which include Europaturm, Masseturm, Kaiserdom and the Hauptbahnhof railway station. These particular landmarks will be enriched with details but also supported by 100 other custom landmarks that brings the city to life. These landmarks have been designed to be both performance-friendly and also visually pleasing within the simulator. Terraforming and custom orthoimagery has also been included to ensure that coverage is seamless with the default simulator.
