Scenery addon for Flight Simulator 2004. The third title will be MegaScenery Northern California and features San Francisco, Sacramento and surrounding areas and will enable Flight Simulator pilots to soar the skies above one of the world’s most beautiful cities, with one of the world’s most beautiful harbors, located in some of the world’s most visually spectacular terrain – San Francisco and Northern California.
MegaScenery Northern California features over 38,000 square miles of Northern Californian scenery - mountains, valleys, and rolling hills - includes Sacramento, the capital of California. 38,000 square miles makes it a mammoth project at over 2.5 times the size of previous volumes.
MegaScenery Northern California V2 captures all of the landmarks in the area just as you see them in real life. Now... you can experience the Northern California landscape from the lush green rolling hills, semi arid mountain ranges to the rich green farmland of Central and Sacramento Valleys. Experience the visual rift of the San Andreas fault over the most famous bay area in the world, San Francisco Bay and the richness of life that surrounds it. It's all there as real as life and are just a few features the area is famous for.
Photorealistic Day Scenery:
Actual satellite photographs (5 meters per pixel) ported into Flight Simulator 2004 for a scenery world that looks just like the Northern California area from a pilot's vantage point. You are flying over actual Northern California!
Spine tingling night Scenery:
MegaScenery's UNIQUE proprietary NightScene™ mapping technology recreates the entire scenery area again at night. No... it's not just random lights - MegaScenery knows where every light emitting source in the area covered is right down to the street level. No other product gives you such a realistic night flying experience. The only way to describe the effect is "spine-tingling". When you're flying over San Francisco Bay - or remote mountainous regions for that matter - it looks just like it would at night in real life as streets, subdivisions and even interstates light up. You get to truly experience flying Night VFR!
New Megacity Technology:
5 meter satellite imagery is more than you'll ever need for a realistic cross country experience. When it comes to cities, a little more resolution is required to bring out the fine detail of streets, subdivisions, golf courses and the like. The entire San Francisco Bay area (3,000 square miles) has been recreated from 2 foot per pixel aerial photos. You will, if you live in the area, be able to clearly identify your own street and even spot your own house!
San Francisco International, Oakland International and San Jose International make for some busy airspace and busy flying whether it's in your Cessna 172 or 737 Jetliner. Make your approach into SFO right over the top of the San Andreas Rift Zone. Whatever you're flying and wherever you're flying in this area, you'll know you're in Northern California and you'll probably give yourself a little pinch for a reality check.
Other major landmarks include: Monterey & Monterey Peninsula, Santa Cruz Mountains, Diablo Mountains, Mt Diablo, Sacramento Valley, Central Valley, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Coastal Ranges, San Francisco's famous Montara and San Bruno mountains, and a whole lot more. If you can see it in real life... you'll see it in MegaScenery Northern California.
