Season Pack 8 - EarthFX Edition is now available from here:
I’m thrilled to announce the next evolution of Season Pack 8 with the new Earth FX edition!
This update delivers numerous improvements, paving the way for future advancements beyond MSFS2024, and introduces exciting new features, with regular updates to come that will continually expand coverage and enhance your experience.
Expanded Features:
-
Introducing animated waterfalls, launching with 2 iconic waterfalls at 2 breathtaking locations! Yosemite and Angel Falls. My goal is to feature all iconic waterfalls from around the world, and each update will bring us closer to achieving this vision. Each waterfall’s size, height, and flow speed will be uniquely determined by the height and shape of its surrounding cliffs, creating a truly immersive experience.

Active Volcanoes - including currently erupting volcanoes with mesmerizing animated lava explosions, flowing molten lava, ash cloud lightning, and ash clouds that swirl and dance in the air.
-
Active Wildfires with roaring animated flames and smoke towering thousands of feet into the air, leaving behind a trail of scorched earth and burnt trees.
