Cloud9 has announced today the development of a new scenery, Boston Logan Airport. There are no preview screenshots yet, but they are working hard to provide users a quality and accurate scenery for this big and important airport. It is being developed using real photos and will feature custom textures, realistic light system, animation/special effects, traffic around the island, and much more - it shouldn't be hard on the FPS, too! For more information and the complete list of features, visit Cloud9.

 

New information about BirdsEyeView was released today on their official website.
