CONTENT:======================================
- Ultra detailed 3D buildings with HD Photorealistic textures,
- Various vehicles and about 10 real club-owned gliders faithfully reproduced and textured to match the real birds !
- Framerate Friendly, the Scenery weight has been optimized for you to get high quality textures without impacting the simulator loading time
- Corrected altitude work
- Local ambiance has also been corrected with vegetation added on "la pente" or "the slope" where we use to do slope soaring and antennas has been added to the "Lachens" to improve realism when flying in the area.
Harris Hill Soaring Corporation - 4ny8
Harris Hill is an iconic place for soaring in the United States and the National Glider Museum preserve the unique history of this field.
Located on a hill (the "Harris Hill"), the terrain was initially created to facilitate winch launched takeoffs frequently used during the second half of the 20th Century. One historic winch truck is even still preserved in the museum. Now takeoffs are done by towing.

Located on a hill (the "Harris Hill"), the terrain was initially created to facilitate winch launched takeoffs frequently used during the second half of the 20th Century. One historic winch truck is even still preserved in the museum. Now takeoffs are done by towing.
Over the years, the terrain has evolved according to its use, Indeed, the first takeoffs on Harris Hill were organized by the US Navy experimenting the first non-motorized flights during the beginning of the 20th century.
Private pilots have concreted the runway in 1969 and some buildings have been renovated including the famous museum.
Features :
Vario Design goals with the Harris Hill Soaring Corporation project was to create the most reliable representation of the airfield as it looks like today.
- Ultra-detailed 3D buildings with 4K textures (original images taken at Harris hill before being reworked)
- Corrected vegetation placement
- Corrected elevation datas
- Various vehicles with static gliders and cars
- FPS friendly and lightweight so your sim won't take ages to launch
- Many other details such as signs, even the club barbecue is there !
