Orbx Updates Australia V2 to SP1

An extensive update for Orbx’s Australia V2 has been released. SP1 not only features a range of bug fixes, but also a range of new features including over 70 airports and airfields not included in the default FSX/P3D base simulator.

The post, shared by Ed Correia, talks about some of the new features amongst the changes. The city of Melbourne has had work including the addition of new custom buildings such as the Sealife Aquarium, Yarra helipad, Microflite Building and also the Gas Brigades Fire Show at Crown Melbourne on Yarra River Southbank.

In addition, nearly 2000 antennae, masts, smokestacks and fire towers have been added.

As for fixes, Ed listed a range of changes including improvements to ground textures and city models within Melbourne, fixed landclass in various locations, and fixes to various airports scattered around the country.
