Extreme Landscapes V1
in
high 3D resolution
Flight Simulator lets you travel
to places that many of us only dream about. What better way to
visit the USA? From the craggy heights of the Rockies to the
plush, green Appalachians and from the majestic Pacific Northwest
to the rugged Southwest. And by simply adding USA Extreme Landscapes
you'll
instantly transform these places into even more magnificent views.
Based on Flight
Simulator's adaptable elevated mesh terrain technology, we've
boosted the detail 15-fold. We've replaced the default elevation
data with super refined 38 and 78 meter info. The result is an
incredible scenic accuracy bringing the Flight Simulator experience
even closer to reality.
For your "flightseeing"
pleasure you'll fly our pre-planned tours in the superb Piper
Dakota from Carenado.
Additionally, noted writer Doug
Horton recreates his real-life summer vacation as he flies from Chicago
to Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons where you'll see these extreme landscapes up close
from the Piper Dakota.
Enjoy your
flights.

What
makes this an extreme landscape?
Normally, Flight
Simulator elevation info for the US is accurate to about 600
meters.
USA Extreme
Landscapes boosts the resolution to 38 and 76 meters, delivering
up to 15 Times the visual accuracy.
Below you'll
see how much more detail is revealed when the elevation data
points are closer together instead of 600 meters apart. The
resulting landscape is modeled even closer to reality and bringing
you an incredible visual flight.
