The final instalment of Orbx's TrueEarth Great Britain series is now available. This marks a major accomplishment for the scenery giant, as the entirety of the UK is fully covered in exquisite detail and serves as a technology demonstrator to show what the team can do in the X-Plane (and ESP) platforms.

It also goes to show how powerful their team is when it comes to pushing out high quality products at a fast rate. The entire TrueEarth Great Britain series is covered in just over three months, a quarter of a year. The first TrueEarth Product for Great Britain (South), was released three months ago on October 10th, along the way the Central region was released shortly afterwards on December 8th, and GB North is Orbx’s first 2019 region-based scenery release.

Orbx PR guru Aimee Sanjari posted the feature list along with the release announcement over on the Orbx forums. You can find it below:

  • 40,415 square miles (104,674 km2) of hand corrected, crisp, color-matched aerial imagery
  • New autogen technology developed specially for X-Plane 11, allowing thousands of UK-themed houses to be placed at a realistic height with minimal impact on performance
  • 1,492,348 buildings buildings at the correct height and location
  • 385 custom landmarks such as masts, wind farms, churches, power lines, and lighthouses are all accurately placed.
  • Hundreds of custom-modeled 3D POIs
  • Hand-placed and custom modeled landmarks placed throughout the scenery such as bridges, skyscrapers, castles, piers, stadiums and monuments – this is especially noticeable in city areas such as Glasgow and Edinburgh
  • Sharp and detailed 10-meter mesh brings out stunning detail in natural features such as hills and beaches
  • Superb water masking along the entire coastline
  • Accurate road and rail network blended into the aerial imagery with moving left-hand drive traffic.
  • Control Panel option to use photoreal major roads/motorways or synthetic X-Plane ones.
