Antarctica Earth Orbit Textures

What really annoys me when flying over Antarctica4XPlane, is that the virtual horizon is so close. I feel like, that the earth is flat. X-Plane would have a solution for that, but this solution is simply not “activated” for high latitudes. To make it short, a suitable virtual horizon is in development, which will enhance your polar […]

News about Antarctica4XPlane

It’s been awhile, since my last news about Antarctica4XPlane, my Antarctica Base Mesh for the X-Plane Flight Simulator. It’s winter on the southernmost continent and due to the darkness and rough weather conditions at this time of the year, almost all antarctic researchers went home for a break. But why not use the opportunities of […]
