Der Panama-Kanal ist die wichtigste Verbindung zwischen Atlantik und Pazifik. Im Rahmen ihrer Landmarks-Reihe haben Orbx den Kanal und andere Wahrzeichen des Landes als „Panama City Pack“ jetzt in den Microsoft Flight Simulator gebracht.

Alle fünf Schleusen, Kanalgebäude, Denkmäler und das Agua Clara Locks Visitor Center sind von den Australiern umgesetzt worden. Besonderes Augenmerk liege laut Produkbeschreibung auf den Zugängen zum Kanal, einschließlich Container-, Öl- und Kreuzfahrtterminals sowie Kontrolltürmen. Mehr als 50 verschiedene Arten von Schiffen solle man beim Überflug erkennen können. Für 8,70 Euro gibt es das Add-on jetzt über Orbx Central
