France VFR is once again leaving a mark in the flight simulation community with the release of their latest scenery pack, South West France, for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This new addition to the developer’s extensive portfolio of French airports brings together an array of elements and infrastructures essential for practicing VFR flying in the picturesque South-West region of France.
Over 30 Airports and Airfields
Immediately, the most remarkable feature of this new pack from France VFR is the inclusion of over 30 custom airports and airfields. Each location is enhanced with photo-realistic buildings, extremely detailed ground textures and markings, and entire fleets of static flying club planes.
France VFR’s South West France isn’t just about the airports, though. It offers a comprehensive VFR flying experience with numerous remarkable objects, obstacles, and VFR landmarks referenced by the SIA (Aeronautical Information Service). You can explore reworked ground textures and vegetation, the high voltage pylons network, water castles, marinas, thousands of wind turbines, castles, churches, and much more.
France VFR’s goal is to create mixed IFR/VFR platforms that offer the best possible compromise between homogeneity, visual rendering, and realism. This approach ensures that simmers get the most immersive experience while keeping prices attractive through bundled offerings.
Key Features
- Enhanced Airports and Airfields: 28 airports and airfields feature photo-realistic 3D modeling, with four large military airports added with photo-realistic ground textures.
- Realistic Details: Ground textures and markings are extremely detailed, and static flying club and military airplanes add to the realism.
- Animated Elements: The scenery includes reworked vegetation, numerous animated characters, and accurate details on all platforms.
- Night Lighting: Realistic night lighting enhances the visual experience during nighttime operations.
- Photo-realistic Areas: Eight platforms, including the largest military platforms (Angoulème, Cazaux, Cognac, Toulouse Francazal, Toulouse Lasbordes, Mont-de-Marsan, Saintes, and Sarlat), feature reworked photo-realistic areas.
Extensive Coverage
The pack includes a variety of VFR landmarks and obstacles such as antennas, castles, water towers, churches, wind turbines, and more. You will also find marinas and moorings with pleasure boats, numerous vehicles animations (gliders, parachutists, helicopters, bird flights), and a comprehensive electrical pylons network with security altitude day/night markings. The main road network features about 15,000 signs, and railroad pylons are included throughout the scenery. Excess vegetation has been meticulously cleaned from coastlines, railroads, and electrical networks.
