Release Notes:
HelgolandX is our most exiting FSX scenery at this moment, unprecedented
in detail and its use of the new FSX features it is a totally state of the
art scenery product. And unlike many expected, frame rates are stable and
high, making this a must have addition to your FSX collection. FS2004 version
included in the box!
This scenery was started to fully explore the new options of FSX and with the
task create the most realistic small scenery possible. A lot of experimenting
was done to find the best way to use the options of FSX and although compromises
had to be accepted the resulting scenery is the most detailed we have ever
released. It redefines photo realistic scenery. The features speak for themselves
but the screenshots tell the real story. They show the loving attention and
professional quality that went into this product.
Features:
* Extremly detailed scenery (all buildings)
* 1 meter resolution mesh (so you see the smallest dunes near the airport)
* Very good performance in FSX (most testers reported solid 20+ fps on Intel
Duo2core CPU's)
* Missions included (one to get to know the island, one to test your flying skills
...and more to come!)
* Animated sea gulls (better not hit those!)
* Sounds linked to scenery objects (waves, bird, ships and even the sounds of the
church bells at noon)
* Extensive shipping traffic (on nearby shipping lane and most regular scheduled
ship traffic to and from the islands and oil rig)
* Helgoland-Dⁿne airfield (with extremly short runways)
* SAR helicopter base of the German Navy (start of your rescue mission)
* Mittleplatte oilrig (highly detailed)
* German Navy frigate (moving and landable)
* July 2006 aerial images (so fully up to date)
* Extensive manual (German and English available)
* Night and seasonal textures and effects
* Underwater structures
Helgoland consists of two small islands on Germany's northern coast. It has a
rich and varied history but they might still be unknown to many people. Don't
let this distract you from taking a look at this scenery because you will see
some things you have not yet seen before. In this way this scenery is a lot like
Lukla - Mt Everest (done by the same developer) that many people bought to see
what was possible at that time.
Not only does this scenery represent the 'state of the art' in scenery design,
it also offer the sim pilot a chance to practice his pilot skills. Although there
are two runways, so cross wind isn't your main problem, landing at Helgoland is
only permitted for pilots with 100 hours under their belt and only when they have
short runway experience. Add to these small runways the dunes that forever seem to
get higher and closer to the threshold and you got an airport where every landing
is a dangerous one. Of course landing on the moving frigate is a challenge that one
serious helicopter pilots can handle.
Two missions are included. The first is a short flight with some tourists over the
islands to let you get acquainted with the scenery, entertaining but not very
challenging. The second is a serious rescue mission that is extreme in weather and
tasks. Don't expect to walk away with your mission success medal on your first
attempt. The missions come with graphics and extensive and professional sound files.
Aerosoft feels that missions should be a part of nearly any product at this moment
in time.
Technical limitations for the FS2004 version:
* Ships are not animated because otherwise the frigate could not be landed on.
* No landings on terrain as FS2004 doesn't support this
* A high quality mesh terrain (Helgoland isn't made of usual mesh terrain,
we created a much higher resolution 3D terrain - you can see the difference to
the default scenery)
* No wet runways when raining
* No scenery object sounds (gulls, church bells etc.)
* No underwater structures visible
* No animated ships shouth of Helgoland
* Fewer details at some locations (e.g. no 3D persons at the airport)
* No night textures
* No flight missions
Serial: HEL-176-24543-N7986-73454
