Parallel 42 is back with another ‘Scene’ release, this time, a site called 42HV High Voltage. This farm strip in Paynes Creek, California is just 10 miles from another of Parallel 42’s ‘Scenes’ – 42BC Bush Plane Campout.
As with other ‘Scene‘ projects from Parallel 42, the focus is on the experience at the site, which is aided by some of the features includes. You will be able to find plenty of hazards nearby, not least the power lines that run along the approach to the grass strip. There’s custom 3D ground assets, various creatures roaming the area and a bunch of cool amenities for your virtual pilot to explore after you have touched down.
You can buy 42HV High Voltage Scene from either //42 Direct ($8.00 USD) or OrbxDirect ($14.40 AUD). It will soon be in Marketplace for both PC and Xbox.
In the meantime, check out Parallel 42’s other recent release, Stripr.
