“In a dramatic turn of events…”
Stairport Sceneries has informed us that Aspen is nearing completion, and would soon be available on the .org store. Pricing is yet to be confirmed but we can realistically expect that the pricing is similar to their previous work. Apart from the bells and whistles you’d come to expect from modern sceneries for X-Plane, the scenery covers the Aspen airport and the surrounding Valley, recreated with high resolution satellite imagery with nigh versions, seasons aren’t going to be part of the feature list on release but will be available as an update in fall this year. Here is the feature list:
