Scenery Germany 4 - Online Now


Part 4 of this very popular series covers Hessen and Thüringen, some of the most beautiful regions of Germany and seen from an aviation point of view highly interesting.

Scenery Germany 4 shows this region in detail as never seen before in any VFR scenery (claims we do not make lightly) with dozens of high detail airports and all landscape elements pilots use for navigation.

Several cities are included with great detail (like Frankfurt, making this an ideal companion to Mega Airport Frankfurt) and you even get a very nice Super Cub and a Flight Calculator in the product. The boxed version will follow soon, but that one will not have the aircraft and the flight calculator, so what are you waiting for?
