Cloud9 did a rendering of this Island for its "Life in..." series and it is special, very special. Not only because of the details and the completeness, but above all for the overall feel of the product.
Elba is the largest among the Tuscan islands. It is about 10 km far from the mainland and it covers 224 square kilometres. Its coast stretches for 147 km. The population of about 35000 is scattered over the 8 municipalities. You get to Elba by ferry and the journey takes 1 hour or so by faster boats, such as hydrofoils , that will take 20-30 minutes. You can arrive also by plane: Pila airport at Marina di Campo is linked to various Italian and European cities. Elba, which is loved by Italian and European tourists, particularly German, has modern well equipped touristic structures. The coast lines, mesh, roads, airport and landclass all merge into one product that IS Elba. Cloud9 (and Aerosoft Online) are so sure that you will see this as highly realistic that they added a large amount of real photographs to the manual as if to invite you to compare. Believe us, there are not many developers that dare to do that. Special Features: - Framerate friendly to allow you to fly low and with complex aircraft (even in VC mode).
- Main village of the island rendered in great detail - All other villages and tourist centers included, if you been there on holiday you got an excelent chance of seeing your hotel, appartment complex!
