FEATURES
Neue 3D Cloud Modelle und Strukturen - The First In-Flight Sim:

• Neue Strukturen und SDK, die nach realistischen Wolkenklassifikationen mit eigenen Spezifikationen, Positionen und Höhen strukturiert sind
• Jede der über 3.000 Wolkenstrukturen wurden anhand realer Wolken entwickelt
• Neue Wolkenarten, einschließlich: Altocumulus, Stratocumulus, Humilis, Mediocris, Congestus, Tower Cumulus, Cumulonimbus Calvus, Supercell und Rainshaft, Tornado, Stratus, Nimbostratus, Altostratus und Cirrus Class
• Reales Wolkenmodellsystem mit Wolkenstraßen, Spurzellen, Wandwolken, Funnel, Shelf, Regenschacht und Tornados
• Neu strukturiertes Wolken SDK für echten Entstehungsrealismus
• Einzelne Texturvariationen der Wolken, die mehr Abwechslung während einer Flugsession ermöglicht und den Realismus steigert
• Modellierungen von Sturmstrukturen bis zu einer Höhe von 21 km (70.000 Fuß)

Real-Time Weather Engine:

• Intelligentes Weather Engine, das weltweit über 70.000 Punkte an Wetterdaten nutzt
• Liest und interpretiert Live-Modelldaten, um die Atmosphäre zu untersuchen und synchronisiert die entsprechenden Wolkenstrukturen

Neue fotobasierte Natural Environment Texturen und Innovative Sky Atmospheric Effekte:

• Voll kompatibel mit DX9, DX10 und DX11
• Auf niedrige und hochwertige Systeme abgestimmt
• Neue natürliche, fotobasierenden Umgebungstexturen unter Ausnutzung der Möglichkeiten der PTA Integration
• Neue Techniken sorgen für sanftere, realistischere und natürlichere Himmelsfarben bei Morgen- und Abenddämmerung sowie verbesserte Sichtbarkeit und Nebelbildung
• Mit VBlend und Vaporous Skies wird eine realistischere, horizontale und vertikale Tages-, Morgen- und Sky Visibility Blending ermöglicht
• Die Sonnenatmosphäre zeigt filmische Effekte und wird durch das virtuelle Cockpit spürbar
• Lightning Fast Texture Installation
• Volles 10-Day Cycle Sky Texture Sets: Wenn Sky Force 3D 10-Day Cycle installiert ist, lädt der Simulator jeden Tag einen anderen Himmelsübergang vom Sonnenaufgang bis zum Sonnenuntergang

PTA Presets Built-In:

• In Sky Force 3D enthalten und wurde speziell für die Verwendung der Himmeltexturen und atmosphärischen Effekten entwickelt

• Winds Overlay – 9 Stufen der Windstärke von bis zu 1 bis 16 km (3.000 - 53.000 Fuß) können angezeigt werden, sodass klügere Entscheidungen für einen besseren Kraftstoffverbrauch getroffen werden kann
• Temps Overlay – 9 Temperaturstufen von 3.000 bis 53.000 Fuß helfen, potenzielle Bereiche und Stufen von Vereisung und Raufrost zu vermeiden
• Pireps Overlay – Hiermit können Positionen und Daten von echten Piloten auf der ganzen Welt gelesen werden
• Sigmets Overlay – Dieses Overlay bietet nicht nur amerikanische, sondern auch globale Sigmet Daten in Echtzeit
• Metar Overlay – Durch das Herunterladen der lokalen Wetterdaten 6x täglich, erhält man die genaueste Ansicht des aktuellen Wetters
• Flight Plan Overlay – Wenn ein Flugplan in das Sky Force Flight Center importiert wird, steht eine visuelle Ansicht des Flugplans zur Verfügung
• Major Airport Overlay – Bietet einen wichtigen Bezugspunkt, um beim Fliegen zu helfen
• Major Road Overlay – Mehr Details und Hilfe speziell für VFR-Piloten
• Zoom Feature – Möglichkeit, in die lokale Ebene und auf die regionale Ebene zu zoomen
