Orbx upgrades Perth’s skyline and Swan River corridor with the new Landmarks Perth City Pack for MSFS 2020 and 2024.

If you’ve ever flown into Perth and thought, “This approach deserves better than generic skyline soup,” Orbx just answered the call.

The newly released Landmarks Perth City Pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is built around the way Perth is actually flown: tracing the curves of the Swan River, linking the CBD skyline, Elizabeth Quay, and the waterfront landmarks that guide your eye as you transition from scenic to serious on the way into Perth Airport.

What the pack does (and why it matters on approach)

City landmark packs can sometimes feel like “nice to have” window dressing. This one aims to be functional eye candy: replacing generic autogen and default photogrammetry with a large collection of hand-crafted custom models across Perth’s CBD and river corridor, so your visual references line up with what you’d expect when you’re flying the river in toward the field.

Orbx lists these highlights:

• Over 40 custom-modelled buildings in and around the city
• Enhanced marina and waterfront detail along the Swan River, extending toward Fremantle Port
• Royal Perth Hospital modelled, including the rooftop helipad
• Langley Park airstrip for city-centre operations
• Custom night lighting at Elizabeth Quay
• Broader regional touch-ups like improved vegetation and object placement, bridges, static boats, vessels, and cranes

That mix is what makes this pack especially appealing for low-and-slow VFR flights, helicopter hops, and “one more circuit because the dusk lighting looks too good” sessions.

Designed to pair with Orbx’s Perth Airport

Orbx positions the city pack as a natural companion to their Perth Airport scenery, turning the whole experience into a connected route rather than a disconnected set of nice places to look at. There’s even a bundled option that pairs the landmarks pack with the airport product.

Availability and price

Landmarks Perth City Pack is available now via Orbx Direct for MSFS 2020 and 2024, priced at 17.99 AUD.
