Orbx today announced, via their Facebook page and forums, a scenery of the whole Hawaiian island of Oahu for Prepar3D v4. The scenery has a lot of features, but I will mention the most interesting ones (a full list can be seen below): over 20,000 custom buildings, hand-placed vegetation, overhauled infrastructure, complete PBR and over 1,500 sq km of tropical terrain. The scenery will be a stand-alone product compatible with FSDT Honolulu Intl Airport and Bill Womack’s Dillingham X .
The release date and the price will be known closer to the release.
