Stockholm/Arlanda ESSA - preview (new version 2)

Version 2 of Pack 1 contains a large area of
terrain following, hi-res photo surroundings at ESSA-Arlanda - here a picture from the new
scenery where the airport is seen from the well known approach to Runway 01L
with the highway from Stockholm to Uppsala to the left.
You will find here a series of pictures shot
from the new version 2 of the scenery that is included
in the Swedflight PRO Pack #1 - (This is not an upgrade from our previous
version, but a totally new scenery for all three airports in the package.)
All 3D objects have been remade. All buildings were rephotographed in 2005 to
ensure better and sharper photos as base for the photo textures. All terminal
additions between the years 2002-2005 are included.
Some of the features in the scenery:
This is a very big airport and therefore we have here excluded some of the least important buildings, otherwise the frame rate figures would be suffering. To get high frame rate with so many objects active in the scenery (over 400 taxi lines with lights, more than 300 signs, more than 45 buildings, over 50 gates with lighting...) we have sacrificed all extra frills like moving objects on the apron and moving bridges. They can be added, but we think it more important to have a scenery that still can be used seriously together with advanced aircraft with complicated panels plus advanced weather, features that also affect the frame rate in the end.
The scenery is the perfect companion to the nearby (within 10 minutes flight time) Stockholm City/Stockholm-Bromma Airport - ESSB (included in Swedflight Pro Pack #2)
For VFR flights especially in the Stockholm Area we recommend R.Taburets Scandinavian Waters add-on as it combined with Pack #2 will give you an unprecedented visual experience of the city’s true beauty.
The scenery is made for FS2004 but can also be run in FS2002 in a simpler version if the photo scenery is inactivated.
