The highly anticipated ENVTEX has been released just now. This add on will add a whole new level of immersion to your simulator experience. It adds new textures, lighting and much more. One of the coolest features has to be the integration of the Northern Lights which are a magnificent spectacle that we will finally be able to see in our simulators. The developers over at TOGA projects have stated that the add on will be very friendly on both FPS and VAS which is great to hear as adding numerous amount of highly detailed texture files can often be harsh on performance. You can purchase the add on from SimMarket for the price of just EUR 25.20. An excellent price considering the amount of stuff that is included in this awesome add on. I personally can’t wait to have this loaded up in my sim to see just how good it looks. I will place the entire feature list down below for you to read.
