ItÕs Finally Here !!! Thanks to all of you who downloaded and sent a comment, suggestion, or just your appreciation for WashDCX Beta. After more than 2000 downloads, I am pleased to announce a much anticipated UPDATE to WashDCX which will be referred to as Version 1.0. WashDCX 1.0 contains even more D.C. models and buildings, all of which have both Transparent and Night textures added. I have also expanded the Satellite Photo scenery around the National Mall area; added support for scenery complexity; added trees and more traffic; and corrected the destination bug within the installer program. You will also find many tourist among the more popular tourist destinations in Washington D.C. I hope that this addon will greatly enhance your flying experience around the D.C. Metro area. Be sure to check out both the Screen Shots and Video area for a look at what is included in
WashDCX 1.0. I encourage your comments either by email or on the
forum for all others to see. Have fun and Happy Flying !!
Thanks Again,
Larry
