Aerosoft's German Airfields 9 "Northern Bavaria" released

Hot on the heels of German Airfields 1 "Island Hopping" we are sending out German Airfields 9 "Northern Bavaria" to our customers. This section covers 12 smaller VFR airfields and 2 regional airports in Northern Bavaria. The small airfields all have a lot of small details and feature full seasonal textures (check out the snow in winter!). Many of these airports are located on hilltops and landing on these is always a bit special as you miss a lot of the surrounding to judge your altitude from. Even finding the airports is not totally easy as it used to be as they are very well blended in with the surrounding. All in all, the kind of scenery that let's you fly around for a long time in a VFR aircraft, exploring all the airports. If you like small aircraft and small airports you should check this out!

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?
