US Cities X is a series of city scenery for FSX that covers US cities created by LimeSim. Based on an extensive aerial image it will have all the major buildings and landmarks plus all the heliports that are inside the covered areas.
It is clearly intended to fill the gap between the default scenery and very high dense city scenery such as Manhattan X, London VFR or Venice X. Because the file size is rather large due to the ground image it only includes one season (in most cases this is not a real issue) and no night textures. The VFR flights over these cities is mostly a day time affair anyway. The third in this range is New Orleans. Features: - Aerial image coverage (see attached Google Earth file) plus landclasses around them
- More than 1,200 major buildings included
- About 30,000 of autogen buildings placed realistically
- All five heliports and one seaplane base in good detail
- Major airports near the city (including the International Airport and one NAS Base) are covered with new high res ground images (no new structures added)
- Ship traffic on Mississippi (paddle steamer and ferries)
- Sound effects near heliports and bridges
- Traffic on most major roads
- Low price, very good value for money
- Includes a separate Scenery Density tool
Please note that the images don't even show the scenery at full density settings! You can see even more than what you see on the images provided you have an extremely fast PC.

Awards / Reviews: Conclusion by GreekSim:
"Overall, US Cities X: New Orleans is a highly accurate and exceptionalscenery add-on. It is ideal for VFR and helicopter flights while IFR approachesto Louis Armstrong New Orleans Int’l Airport become mostinteresting with the skyscrapers and the Louisiana Superdome loomingnearby. The seaplane airport is also a joy for seaplane pilots." Click here to read the complete review Conclusion by simFlight.com:
"So in conclusion, this product is definitely worth the money. It suits both beginners to scenery collecting, and has enough to entertain the veterans. You can create many challenges for yourself with weather adjusting, using your imagination, set up some failures, and enjoy the sightseeing while white knuckling your way to an emergency landing in a park, or a golf course…..LOL. Enjoy, I did." Click here to read the complete review
