Orbx today released their rendition of Melbourne Landmarks for Microsoft Flight Simulator, which was announced a few days ago. We wrote an article on the announcement topic as well. The developer shared the news through their social media accounts.
Melbourne is the third-largest city in Australia and also the home of Orbx, the developer of the scenery. The scenery includes over 200 custom buildings across various design eras – from Victorian buildings to modern skyscrapers. There also are custom animations, such as hot air balloons, CBD Metro, race horses and more. The Landmarks Melbourne rendition is fully compatible with World Update VII – Australia.
