Vervolg: St Maarten voor X-Plane

Twee weken geleden kregen we de eerste screenshots te zien van ontwikkelaar Airworthy Designs. Inmiddels zijn er weer een reeks preview screenshots vrijgegeven welke te bekijken zijn via de onderstaande link. Naast de previews zien we nu ook een compleet overzicht van alle features die we kunnen verwachten. Dit zou wel eens een top scenery voor X-Plane 11 kunnen worden.
