On our second American IFR Orbx TrueEarth US Florida HD flight I take you on a trip from Kissimmee Gateway Airport to Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, Everglades. It will be an interesting and scenic flight crossing Florida and quickly visiting although highly restricted by the FAA, Merritt Island with the famous from J.F. Kennedy Space Center. From Merritt Island we fly south to Fort Lauderdale and then turn to a Western direction, entering the Everglades.

This second IFR trip thru Florida shows you the beauty of Orbx TrueEarth Florida ground ortho but also the special 3D objects created by the Orbx team. Overall, it’s a sunny day so there’s nothing to complaint.

The IFR flight plan was made with SkyVector and converted to a “fms” FP format with XPlaneTools. As mention before, you can also create a flight plan with the freeware program Little NavMap and convert it directly to the X-Plane 11 “fms” FP format.

On behalf of the whole X-Plained.Com team …. enjoy this first flight.

On this first American Orbx IFR flight we depart from Venice Municipal Airport in Florida. The weather conditions are OK, our intended flight cruising level will be around 4500 feet and some clouds are visible as well as cirrus in the high altitudes. This flight should give you and myself a great impression of the ground textures provided by the Orbx Florida team, led by Tony Wroblewski.

Taking off from runway 23 (or was it 24?) we fly via the waypoints along Sarasota, Tampa Bay, to Disney World. The intention is to land at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM). Although Florida is flat, no hills, no mountains, it’s beautiful to see how the Floridian landscape looks like after Orbx TrueEarth US Florida HD is installed. Yes, the screenshots and footage material is all based on the HD texture quality. And let’s not forget the beautiful modelled 3D objects!

P.s ; this video shows you how default road textures look like in the Orbx scenery when enabled.
