Instead of trying to update that one the whole projects was redone using new standards to ensure it would be fast enough to be usable. Almost double the amount of buildings and using all new effects of FSX, Manhattan X sets new standards. Designed with helicopters in mind, the scenery can also be explored with small aircrafts or ships. Even if you like to fly large aircraft you'll enjoy the views when you approach the nearby airports. FSX deserves Manhattan X !

Features:

• Covers the entire Manhattan Island (East Side, West Side, Uptown and Downtown) plus Ellis Island, Governors Island, Roosevelt Island, Statue Island.
• Four heliports
• Very high density scenery with hundreds of detailed buildings
• Full FSX features using bump maps, advanced shading and reflections
• Scheduled ship traffic (Staten Island Ferries)
• Many special effects included (like sounds, smoke, birds)
• Mission that lets you take a $199 helicopter tour of Manhattan
• Professionally designed charts with all helicopter routes

Conclusion by Avsim.com:
"There is no doubt that while completing this review, I have had more fun in FSX than I have in a long time. Manhattan X is a stunning piece of work. The important thing I need to stress is to read the manual and adjust the scenery and display settings as suggested. Not doing so will certainly reduce Manhattan X’s performance and thus its enjoyment. The level of detail that has been achieved is nothing short of amazing and with the little touches, such as sounds and the mission, Aerosoft has provided us with a complete experience of one of the world’s greatest cities. Its flaws are inconsequential when measured against the complete package and my only question is the longevity Manhattan X offers. I have certainly been kept coming back for many hours of enjoyment and the potential for missions is vast, so it may well be a place I visit regularly from now on. Manhattan X is an example of the power FSX offers developers and redefines ‘as real as it gets’. I feel all FSX users should feel very excited by this release."

Conclusion by PC Pilot Magazine | July-Aug 2009:
"To create such a complex area is certainly a mammoth task and Andras Kozma has done a commendable job of it.... Finally I think this product shows admirably what FSX has to offer! Final score: 95 out of 100 + PC Pilot Classic Product award "

Conclusion by Mutley's Hangar:
"This can be considered as one of those must have sceneries, so much entertainment for such a relatively small area. I know the scenery is not advertised as being 100% accurate but I truly felt I was there. This scenery is well ahead of anything else available both in quality and performance. A definite thumbs up and recommendation from me. If you are not into helicopters then learn!"

Conclusion by FlightSim.com:
"Their sceneries nearly always show remarkable talent, and it just astounds me that they can produce such quality in such numbers. Manhattan X is, in a word, inspired; the scenery is the best I've seen for a city area, and other similar metropolitan packages are placed as distant seconds and thirds to this masterpiece. The detail crammed into this small island is quite as outstanding as what I remember from my brief trip to the East Coast. I enjoyed it much more than I expected, and I know I will return here in the future for screen shots, adventure, and the thrill of getting up close to those looming skyscrapers.”
