Corfu X gives you the opportunity to fly the stunning scenery of the “Pearl in the Ionian Sea”. The landscape of this hugely popular holiday destination optimises FSX ground textures with exceptional water reflection effects to make it a unique flying experience.
Located in the Ionian Sea, not far from Italy, the island of Corfu has been a favourite holiday destination ever since air travel got cheap enough for the masses. Of course, as the rest of Greece, it has a long, often bloody and very rich history that is clearly visible all over the island.
Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport is a typical holiday airport. Off-season it’s quiet with just a few flights every day while in the holiday season (and certainly on Mondays and Fridays) the airport is running at full capacity. The runway is built in a small bay and the approach from the south is spectacular as some of the best known landmarks are only a few hundred meters away. Though weather conditions are seldom a problem, wind can be an issue as it flows around and over the mountains that are close to the airport. In high summer turbulence can be severe close to the ground. As the runway has no ILS, all approaches are visual and certainly the VOR DME NDB approach to runway 35 is not easy.
Well known for their critically-acclaimed scenery add-ons, Aerosoft have modelled this airport using the latest in design techniques But what makes this a special product is not just the technology but the keen eye for detail and obvious love for the Greek islands.
Key Features:
•Photo real texture (0.5-1.0m resolution) for whole Corfu Island
•Custom terrain mesh for the whole island
•Photo-realistic Scenery covering the main and the old town and both ends of the approach path.
•Fully custom 3D airport with all structures
•Custom HD ground textures with full FSX features
•Realistic approach lighting system
•Detailed rendition of Corfu’s famous landmarks on approach routes
•Advanced animations at the airport (flag/vehicle animations etc.)
•Detailed representation of old town and harbour
•3D re-construction of the main ship port and rocky shores of the old town
•Very high frame rates
•Simple tool to configure the scenery
