Scenery Review | Orbx TrueEarth Britain South

Our dedicated reviewer Andy Clarke explored for you this time his own country and flew around from East to West, from North to South, covering the Orbx TrueEarth Great Britain South scenery. According to Andy “There is a great temptation to just keep on flying over this scenery, interested in the next detail to be viewed. The standard of presentation certainly is a game changer in terms of flight experience and creates another reason to simply get in a plane and fly. The package also assists greatly with VFR flight. Not all buildings are modelled in detail, but even those not given special attention are in the correct place and add to the view.” It has been an exiting journey for Andy and Angelique, who helped Andy with a couple of scenic YouTube flights.
You can read it all in Andy’s comprehensive and detailed review.

Your personal reviewer Angelique van Campen is pleased to let you know that she finished this awesome piece of hardware. According to Angelique “the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant; only one word fits it all; awesome piece of hardware!

Besides throttles for GA single and multi aircraft, it also comes with a set for commercial aircraft and it also offers an annunciator light panel and AP panel.” You can read all about her comprehensive review at X-Plained.Com and comments or suggestions or personal experiences are always welcome.
