simwest - Southern California for FSX/P3D

simwestSOCAL - for pilots who wish to fly in beautiful, sunny, Southern California in the USA.

When you are flying, have you ever said to yourself, "Gee, didn't I just fly over that part of the scenery a little ways back" or seem to encounter "deja vu"? That can happen when flying over landclass based ground scenery. And flying at higher altitudes can reveal a repeating pattern. Good for performance but not so much for immersion.

Well, simwestSOCAL has got you covered... literally, with 40GB of photoreal imagery from just south of Bakersfield to just south of the Mexican border. From the oceans of the Pacific blue to the Colorado River red, simwestSOCAL lets your immersion run wild. And with some 180 default airports found inside the scenery area you can test your pilot skills whether it be finding little bush dirt strips, VFR flying with your favorite GA aircraft or landing a "heavy" at one of the major international airports. And for more immersion add your own 3rd-party detailed airports. Photoreal scenery you will want to fly through, not over.

Our goal is "performance + immersion = enjoyment".
