And here is now a selection of snapshots I made. Shown is a winter-…
Antarctica Earth Orbit Textures
What really annoys me when flying over Antarctica4XPlane, is the virtual horizon: I feel like, that the earth is flat! X-Plane would have a solution for that, but this solution is simply “not configured” for high latitudes. To make it short, a solution is in development, which will enhance your polar flight experience dramatically: Some background…

Features of Svalbard4XPlane
Svalbard4XPlane is a quite realistic representation of Svalbard for the flight simulator X-Plane. The Norwegian archipelago is located in the Arctic Ocean north of the Polar circle between 74. and 81. latitude and is not covered by the X-Plane default installation. So the scenery package Svalbard4XPlane does not only fill a gap in the X-Plane…
