AEROSOFT ONLINE - MONACO 2005

Monaco is a lot of things, but above all it is small. For American minds, used to large scales, it is hard to believe a country of 1.95 sq km (0.75 sq mi) can exist. The population is around 30.000 (yes, that makes it very crowed). The average airport is a lot larger, that gives you some idea of the scale. To make matters worse, the available land is extremely steep, about as high as wide. But it is independent and a full member of the United Nations. It deserved its place in FS2004.

It is rare that an add-on for FS2004 adds a whole country (not COVER a whole country but actually ADDING the country to the FS2004 GOTO airport list) but we managed with this amazing product. Monaco, the second smallest country on the globe is done in amazing detail. And indeed, Monaco is smaller then some airports and it does not have an airport, but is has a very nice heliport that is one of the busiest of the all the heliports. Every hour several choppers fly to and from Nice airport to pick up the few people who can afford a house in the nicer parts of the city.

Matthew came to us with the project and we jumped on it because we saw it is a logical extension of our products. For example it fits very well on France 1 that has the Nice airport in good detail and as we are very busy extending Aerosoft into the French market the commercial part also fitted very well. Last but not least, there is a lot that reminds of of the Manhattan project we started Aerosoft Online with. The same level of detail and the same fine sense of colour. Good scenery just seems to set a switch in your mind that gives you the feeling it all fits. This one will.
