Orbx is pleased to announce the release of FTX Northern Rocky Mountains

This is a vast new area adjoining FTX Pacific Northwest and FTX Pacific Fjords. Almost double the size of PNW, the region includes parts of Montana, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia and Alberta with key cities including Missoula, Edmonton and Calgary. You will experience beautiful terrain and brand new textures based on actual aerial photos taken over the region. The diversity of the terrain is stunning and majestic to fly over, and of course spectacular locations such as Moraine Lake and Lake Louise are also depicted accurately. Just like Orbx FTX PNW and Pacific Fjords, we've given every single airport an upgrade with more accurate placement of buildings, hangars and objects. Additionally every single square mile of landclass is hand-made and all roads, rivers, lakes, power lines and vertical obstructions are included for accurate VFR flying. Finally, all textures are hand-annotated with brand new autogen.
Over 340 airports have been upgraded!
Continues coverage east from PNW & PFJ
Superb new Matt Tomkins ground textures
Hand-crafted landclass covers every mile
Accurate roads, rivers, lakes, powerlines
10 & 20m Holgermesh for crisp definition
Selected photoreal coverage areas
Super accurate autogen annotation
Features Moraine Lake and Lake Louise
Spectacularly diverse terrain to explore
The perfect addition to Pacific Northwest

Is there a map showing the area covered by this(and Pacific Fjords if possible)?
How big is the download?(link shows 0 Mb)

I want to get these ASAP(glad I have a birthday this week:jump:) although it will take me all week to d/l them!
 
Hi there,

for each of the ORBX regions you can download the user manual and a Google Earth .KMZ file from the respective ORBX product page; for Northern Rockies that would be http://fullterrain.com/product_nanrm.html

Download size is about 3.2GB either as a single zip or split into 200MB chunks. Either way we recommend using a download manager because traffic is heavy.

Cheers, Holger
 
Wouldn't you know it, the only area I fly in Alberta (Cold Lake) isn't covered by FTX NRM!! Somehow it doesn't sound like that area will be covered anytime soon either. Such is life.

Regards, Mike Mann
 
Anyone having any difficulty using a download manager? I keep getting an instant but empty zip file with STAR DOWNLOAD manager and using the standard MS downloader I timed out. I've posted on their support forum but I just wondered if anyone here has had the same issue?

Of coarse I spend most my time flying around CFB Comox, which is why I said the only place I fly in Alberta was Cold Lake. Surprisingly (or not, my father was in the RCAF) I also fly around Winnipeg and North Bay both of which were at one time, home to me.
