High-Detail Feature list, and then some

We’ve published a list of Seaplane bases in the article here.

I have not seen a list of “High-Detail” features and thought I would offer one up J.

There are two features touted as “High-Detail”; airports and cities. It is a bit trickier to come up with this list than one might think though. The definition is a tad confusing especially for cities. So let me explain.

Airports

High-detail airports are airports that are not auto-generated by canned facilities information and instead have custom facilities data. They are also supposed to be next to a city that has some custom level of detail but I haven’t full cross-correlated the two lists to make sure that is completely true.

Here is a list of the High-Detail Airports that I found by working with our data-tech Travis Crowell:

Bold airports are only available in Deluxe.

Yellow highlighted airports are added in Acceleration.

That’s 39 in Standard, 44 in Deluxe, and 48 with Acceleration added to Deluxe. That appears to be 1 less than what the web site marketing blurbs are claiming, I honestly don’t know if my list is missing 1 or if the blurb is off by 1.

So the 5+ sceneries I mention in my post on Acceleration features are actually:

·         3 airport/facilities locations being Tempelhof, Reno, and Edwards ( with 2 airports at the Edwards location )

·         2 scenery locations ( Istanbul, Longleat )

·         plus the 3M LIDAR scenery at Mt St Helens.

Cities

Cities are a bit harder to classify. It appears there are quite a few cities that have custom objects but that don’t rise to the level of “High-Detail” and there are the odd random single objects sprinkled around. With that being the case, I erred on the side of completeness and am listing everywhere I found that a custom object existed.

There may be more, but this is the list of custom objects I found by working with our data-tech Travis Crowell:

Cities with more than 1 custom object:

Latin America ( 3 )

Rio de Jeneiro

Sao Paulo

Mexico City

Europe ( 30 )

Moscow

Munich

Berlin

Dublin/Cork

Istanbul

Stockholm

Copenhagen

Brussels

St. Petersburg

London

Lisbon

Gibraltar

Helsinki

Paris

La Defense

Amsterdam

Rotterdam

Barcelona

Madrid

Oslo

Trondheim

Monte Carlo/Monaco

Salzburg

Lyons, France

Milan, Italy

Lisbon

Malmo, Sweden

Athens

Glasgow/Blackpool

Lake Geneva

US ( 9 )

San Francisco

Los Angeles

New York

Miami

Chicago

Atlanta

Salt Lake

Washington DC

Seattle

Africa, Middle East ( 7 )

Capetown

Jerusalem

Tel-Aviv

Cairo

Dubai

Riyadh

Mecca

Asia ( 16 )

Tokyo

Hong Kong

Shanghai

Singapore

Beijing

Taipei

Seoul

Saitama

Sapporo

Nagoya

Kyoto

Fukuoka

Kobe

Chiba

Nara

Incheon

Australia & NZ ( 7 )

Melbourne

Perth

Brisbane

Sydney

Canberra

Wellington

Auckland

Canada ( 5 )

Toronto

Vancouver

Montreal

Edmonton

Calgary

So that is 77 cities with more than 1 custom object.

3+16+3+3+6+5+2 of those have 10 or more custom objects, which equals 38, so perhaps that is the metric the web site blurb uses. I cannot break down which 28 of these are in Standard and which additional 10 are in Deluxe, sorry about that. Those counts are in order, in the (LA+EU+US+AME+ASIA+ANZ+CANADA) geographies

Additional single custom objects are located in:

Cambridge, Canterbury, Birmingham, Oxford

Vienna

Siena

Abbey Mont St Michel

Bilbao Museum

And in addition there are 20 stadiums and misc objects in Japan, 4 of them are at the Tanegashima Space Center.

That should give people a real great list of places to fly and check out what custom objects are at these locations.

Happy flying!
