Thousands of hand-placed scenery objects delivering rich visual density and realism.
High-resolution custom PBR textures throughout the package.
Custom ambient audio zones featuring location-specific harbour and waterfront environments.
Optimized LODs and efficient asset design for smooth performance.
Native MSFS 2024 implementation utilizing modern SDK features.
Shediac Range light system to help guide you into the bay!
Each ship and airfield includes a custom NDB to recreate period radio navigation of the time. See map in document folder for locations and frequencies. A little Nav Map file has been included.
The North Atlantic Collection transforms a series of historic waterfront destinations into fully realized flying boat hubs. Docking facilities, mooring areas, marine infrastructure, and coastal operations have been recreated to provide an immersive environment tailored specifically to water-based aviation.
Whether flying short regional sectors or long ocean crossings, pilots can operate within a connected network of destinations designed around the unique requirements of flying boats and seaplanes.
With extensive custom content, detailed maritime environments, immersive audio, weather ships, and a complete network of flying boat destinations, the North Atlantic Collection offers a distinctive addition to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
All airfields except Shediac include a small flat area to allow limited wheeled operations, providing additional flexibility for ground activity at these bases, which did not have formal land runways.
