Orbx has announced the Cityscape Sydney scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This will bring new detailed scenery of the city in the game, allowing players to enjoy the beautifully rendered city, whether flying in the day or night.
This is the first Australian product for Microsoft Flight Simulator by Orbs, which comes from the acclaimed developer Frank Schnibben. According to Orbx, Frank has replaced over 28,000 primary buildings with his own custom-designed models in complete 4K PBR.
A complete cityscape, the scenery captures the feel and energy of the harbourside capital, with thousands of details and features across the entire metropolitan area.
Over 100 custom points of interest have been faithfully recreated, including the city’s tallest skyscrapers, well-known icons, sports stadiums and bridges. Whilst most of these have been created with a high level of detail that prioritises high optimization and unique PBR texturework, we have created a few ultra-high-detail “hero assets” – models that rival airport terminals in terms of detail – perfect for exploring right up close. You can see this in action with our incredibly detailed Sydney Harbour Bridge – the centrepiece of this scenery.
Here is everything you can expect in Cityscape Sydney:
- An entire Cityscape covering the City of Sydney
- Airport terminal-quality Hero Assets such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge
- 103 Custom PBR landmarks across the Sydney metro area
- 28,000 replacement buildings with corrected heights, footprints and building types
- 250km2 of pristine custom aerial imagery – perfectly colour balanced and hand-edited
- Thousands of placed objects to bring the Harbour City to life
- Stunning night lighting
- Replacement watermasking for more accurate coastlines
- Improved tree heights in select locations
- Improved suburban centres and POIs beyond the primary coverage zone
- Port Botany recreated
- From acclaimed developer Frank Schnibben, with assistance from Orbx’s in-house team
