Sydney and the western cities of Adelaide and Perth. This region covers
an area larger than western Europe and is just as diverse in its
geography.

Despite
being the smallest of the FTX AU regions, South East Queensland is in
fact a VFR flyer's dream and sports some of the most enjoyable terrain
to fly over in the simulator. Crammed full of small airfields and with
a very diverse geography, you'll experience rainforests, the outback,
hinterland ranges, lush rural landscapes, spectacular tropical waters
and countless islands to explore, all with that typical Queensland look
and feel. Visit Brisbane International Airport, the city and up along to the Sunshine Coast. South you'll discover the vibrant Gold Coast and rich pastural farming areas, all superbly rendered with their unique crops such as bananas, tobacco and of course, sugar cane. |

This
is the "top end", as the locals call it. Wild coastlines, lush tropics,
harsh, tough country and the home of cattle stations (or ranches) which
are bigger than some countries. Welcome to the wonder and nature of the
Australian tropics, and a region no less interesting than the populated
coasts.
Discover Catherine Gorge and Kakadu National Park. Explore Darwin and the North coast. You will find the contrasting lushness and harshness of this rich landscape an amazing place to bring out the explorer in you. Status: Currently in BETA testing. Project Leader: Matthew Tomkins |

If
you've ever flown from one of the eastern Australian cities and
overland to Singapore or elsewhere in Asia, from your window seat you
may have thought that you were on a mission over Mars. The outback is a
vast, red place and certainly the least boring of all the places to
visit in Australia. With sometimes alien landscapes and stunning
vistas, there is so much to find in this massive inland region. Huge
craggy mountain ranges, salt lakes and a rich pallette of colors that
can change overnight after the wet season, the outback is what makes
Australia one of the most diverse and unique places on earth.
Visit Uluru, Alice Springs, the wonderful west coast at Broome and Shark Bay. There's so much to explore that you could spend a year and not discover it all. Status: Currently in internal pre-alpha testing, awaiting image aquisition. Project Leader: Matthew Tomkins |

From
Vancouver, BC down to Portland, OR - this area is home to some of the
most magnificent scenery in the world. Towering douglas firs and misty
mountain passes aren't the only spectacular parts of this region. A VFR
flyer's mecca, Orbx will recreate the landscape as it only knows how -
and simming in this part of the world will never be the same again. Our
project leader for FTX US BLUE is Holger Sandmann, who has already
established his reputation for some of the most enjoyed FS addons ever
made throughout the PNW area. A native of the PNW area, Holger will use
his unique local knowledge to ensure it's going to be absolutely as
real as it gets.
You will be stunned by the beauty of this region pack. Status: Currently in late planning with pre-alpha components in place. Project Leader: Holger Sandmann |

Melbourne's
Tullamarine International Airport is the second largest in size
and
traffic volume and a major gateway for trans Pacific, Tasman and Asian
international flights. FTX AU YMML will be the most detailed major Australain airport ever designed for FSX, combining 1m/pixel and 15cm/pixel ground textures, with 15cm Gmax poly runways and aprons for a truly remarkable experience. It is difficult to describe in words just how real and immersive this airport is; and it has to be, since it will form the basis for full commercial airline training for Orbx's aerospace industry business partners. Complete with over 38 square km of surrounding photoreal area seamlessly blended into FTX AU BLUE, YMML features incredibly detailed custom gmax modeling, full autogen annotation, full approach and area day/night lighting, inverse kinetic animated aerobridges, nose-in guidance systems, moving traffic, thousands of static objects and much more. Status: Currently in Beta 2 testing, release expected in July Dev Team: Martin Henare, John Venema, Jarrad Marshall |
