FlightPath3D Goes Vertical

Today FlightPath3D announced general availability for its inflight VTOL 3D Map application. The moving map features a direct point to point flight travel set in a game-like 3D interactive experience with high-resolution satellite imagery, immersive virtual reality cockpit head-up-display, and VTOL 360 view.
