Notice: Please read our FS2004 (FS9) Limited Support Notice before purchasing this product. Imagine starting up Flight Simulator and for the first time having a truely dynamic look that provides you the most convincing ground and sky environment you have ever experienced before. Ground Environment Professional builds on the foundation of the award winning Ground Environment, and then adds a premium textures set and features to achieve the most realistic ground environment for Flight Simulator 2004.
Peter Wilding, Anthony Vos, and Carl Hackman have created Ground Environment Professional, a revolutionary package that completely transforms your FS world environment. The package includes: Super Detailed Photo-Realistic Generic Textures - The terrain in Flight Simulator comes alive with all new texture sets for everything from deep river canyons, high mountain peaks, and everything in between. Global Coverage / All Regions - The program includes terrain enhancements for all areas of the globe. We don't focus on one area in FS, we cover it all! All Seasons - Texture enhancements to all seasonal textures to make your Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter seasons more enjoyable. Perfectly Aligned Autogen - Our package incorporates autogen alignment techniques that surpass any other product. No longer will you have buildings or other autogen objects show up on roads or have misplacement in other areas of your scenery. Night Textures - Newly enhanced night textures improve lighting during night time operations. Easy To Use Graphical Interface - Following in the footsteps of Flight Environment's intuitative interface, Ground Environment 2006 includes an easy-to-navigate interface with a multitude of options available to the user.
New Region Specific Textures Sets - Ground textures especially developed for parts of Florida, Hawaii, Caribbean, tropical regions, and parts of Asia. There is also new highly detailed rural textures for Europe. New Landclass Texture Sets - New highly improved textures for deserts, forests, mountains, grasslands and foliage. User Color Adjustment Interface - Ground Environment Pro has a new advanced technology which enables you the user to be able to adjust brightness, contrast, color hue's and color saturation to the desired look of your choice. "Keep It Simple" Options - One very cool feature and philosophy of Ground Environment Pro is to "keep it simple". Ground Environment Pro will automatically generate new texture sets for you based on five types of weather conditions. From sunny bright textures that contain more defined shadows, and more vibrant colors to overcast textures that give a duller, bluer look for a more realistic feel. Corresponding Sky Textures - Ground Environment Pro has advanced technology to automatically generate or give you the user manual control for creating new original unique sky textures. The sky textures are also matched to the weather conditions, to create a bright sunny, or a dull overcast look. Downloadable Weather METAR Information - Perhaps one of the coolest features of GE PRO is the option to download weather metar information. This METAR information is translated into an easy understandable language for the average user. You then have the choice to use this information to set ground environment to best emulate the current weather conditions. Active Sky 6 Integration - Special compatibility with Active Sky 6 has been implemented. Note: Ground Environment works seamlessly with many add-ons you have. So not only is Flight Simulator enhanced, but also many of your other Flight Simulator add-on products.
