A brand new ‘Scene’ by Parallel 42 has been released for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The team is back in California and they have poured “passion and soul into crafting an experience that captures the essence of this region.”
The scene has been created to give bush pilots a fun and challenging experience in the backcountry of Northern California. The small scenery product includes a whole host of details such as animated animals, 3D people and plenty of ground objects to immerse you fully into the experience. There are a bunch of amenities that serve well for having fun with friends at this small airfield.
There are plenty of small details throughout the scene that will keep you exploring for time to come. It is also close to other Parallel 42 scene products.
On social media, Edson from Parallel 42 said, “while we bid adieu to Northern California, know that this is just the beginning of our journey. We’re excited to spread our wings and take off to a new area, crafting even more remarkable experiences for backcountry enthusiasts around the world.”
No doubt more scene products will come in due course.
