Orbx Simulation Systems has announced the release of Full Terrain Experience (FTX) AU GOLD, the second installment of their Australia terrain packs.

Orbx today announced that its second Full Terrain Experience (FTX) AU GOLD Region Pack, covering the Subtropical East of Australia, is now available for purchase from the FTX website. FTX AU BLUE was previously released on March 5th.

The FTX AU BLUE and GOLD regions depicts the area of Australia shown in light blue and gold on the map below in stunning detail never seen before in flight simulation products. Pilots will be able to conduct VFR navigation exercises in the simulator due to the accuracy of all topographical features, terrain and landclass. Offering hand-built coastlines, rivers and an optional complete road coverage, FTX will prove to be an invaluable aid for those wanting the most realism when flying over Australia.

FSGenesis has issued the following announcement regarding their FSG FSX Terrain V2:

With the release of new files today we are getting ever-closer to completion of the continental US 9.6m coverage, which we hope to wrap up by next weekend. We then anticipate a week of nips and tucks before compiling the auto-installers and committing V2 to DVDs for shipment to those who have ordered them.
