Cape Canaveral is best known as the location where NASA launches its spacecraft. Though those who have been there know it is also a very beautiful location where sea and land merge. So far there was no good coverage of this location in FSX until Aerosoft and Thomas Högström decided to set it right.
This is a completely new version of the FS2004 version of the product, far more than just an update. The scenery is designed with frame rates in mind and will show excellent results, even on less than stellar hardware. Cape CanaveralX, Space Coast, is built on a photographic base and incorporates the objects included in FSX by Microsoft, supplemented with a large collection of objects, autogen scenery. The imagery used is meticulously color corrected and matched to suit the rest of the world. Coverage: There are three airports on Cape Canaveral, but only one of them is a 'normal' airport, Merritt Island, a rather small industrial airport. The other two have massive runways, to handle the Space Shuttle and the other special aircraft used by NASA (for example the special B747 used to transport the Shuttle). KTTS, known under its old code X68 in FSX for example has a 15.000 feet runway that is wide enough to land a Piper Cub on! This massive runway is frequently used by online pilots to do side by side landings and take-offs. If you decide to try it please send us some images! - KCOI MERRITT ISLAND
- KXMR CAPE CANAVERAL AFS SKID STRIP

Awards/Reviews: 8.5 out of 10, Canadian Pilots
 Conclusion by Canadian Pilots:
"Cape Canaveral has a lot of meaning in the world. It`s influence on the advancement of space exploration is almost unprecedented. The layout of the island is amazing and features tons of eye candies. It is also an excellent landing/takeoff spot for your spacecraft. It is one of those areas that are just filled with new experiences and endless possibilities. In FSX, it would’ve been a shame to negate these possibilities. For their work I award Aerosoft a 8.5 for their title, Cape Canaveral X." Click here to read the complete review! Conclusion by FlightSim.com:
"Verdict? An acceptable addon that provides the best scenery available for Cape Canaveral, but that isn't saying much, because as far as I am aware, there isn't any competition. To be good, Cape Canaveral X would need better phototextures and more custom scenery to make the place look as if it was alive, but given that it is the only game in town, if you want a scenery to fly the Space Shuttle from, this is the one."

"Isn’t simulating stimulating? This add-on is a must have for anyone that has an interest in America’s space programs, it adds a real part of history to your MSFS and gives you the ability to do things that can’t be done in the real world and allows you to be one of those cocky Hollywood type pilots without the Feds. I hope you have enjoyed my review/ story of my experiences with the Cape Canaveral scenery from Aerosoft and if you don’t have this one get it, it really is worth it.

Conclusion by Avsim.com:
"...Many of you will love the Cape, the scenery may not be the very best add-on scenery available, but it offers simmers a great range of Airports in a relatively small area, all linked with some well done photo-real scenery textures..." Click here to read the complete review!
Conclusion by Canadian Pilots:
"The scenery by itself would have gotten a great mark from me, but then Aerosoft threw in a simple copy of the Piper Super Cub. The software is easy to use and install as it takes you through the regular Aerosoft Online procedure. The scenery should work right off the bat, and you will be in the skies enjoying the views in no time. The scenery is very immersive and really displays how Cape Canaveral looks like. For their excellent work I award Aerosoft a 9.0 out of 10." Click here to read the complete review!
