Landscape details

   
Landscape:
Landscape: RDU-USA 3 (Raleigh / Durham)   Name in Condor: RDU-USA3
Author(s): Bluefang Date of release: March 9th, 2025
Description: This is a detailed, photorealistic scenery of the Raleigh / Durham area of North Carolina (also known as the Research Triangle in the business world). North Carolina is the home of the historic Wright Brothers flight.

The scenery is relatively small, but highly detailed (6x6 tiles @ 8k). Scenery features include:

- Color corrected aerial imagery for spring/summer months.
- 15 modeled airports (some grass and some asphalt) - most airports include custom modeled buildings.
- Two of the airports have weekend glider operations in real life (Crooked Creek & Ball Field)
- Crooked Creek has a sloped grass runway (just like in real life) and the Condor 3 version has been updated to be even more realistic.
- The downtown area of Raleigh has many of its tallest buildings modeled.
- Trees are accurately modeled around most of the scenery.
- Watch out for the Cape Fear River tower and the WRAL TV tower - they are both about 2,000 ft tall.
- The PDA / Flight Planner map uses a hypsometric view of the area - with greatly exaggerated vertical scale. Don't be fooled by the apparent hills - this is flat land!
- The included RDU-USA-Aerial-1k.bmp file can be used to reference a detailed aerial overview of the scenery.
