Svalbard XP

Svalbard XP is a highly realistic recreation of the Svalbard islands for X-Plane 11 and 12.
The Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean is situated about midway between continental Norway and the North Pole. The islands range from 74° to 81° northern latitude, north of the Polar Circle. This area isn‘t covered by the X-Plane default scenery.

So, the scenery package Svalbard not only fills this gap in the X-Plane landcape but also includes all airports and heliports of this region: Svalbard lufthavn, Longyear (ENSB), Svea (ENSA), Ny Alesund (ENAS), Barentsburg (ENBA) and Pyramiden (ENPY).

Features:

• Highly realistic recreation of the complete islands group of Svalbard with an area of about 61000 km²
• High resolution mesh with detailed coast lines and shapes of glaciers
• Customized local terrain details where reasonable, a.e. in the surrounding of the airports
• High detail models of all airport buildings and installations with customized objects
• Photo realistic generic ground textures
• Realistic night time effects
