With Microsoft Flight Simulator you can effortlessly travel to places that most of us only dream about. Flying the simulator is a certainly a great way to visit the world. From the dizzying heights of the Himalayas to the dense jungles of the Amazon and from the picturesque Alps to the remote, rugged headwaters of the Nile, there's an endless supply of adventures awaiting you.
By simply adding World 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 up to 128-fold. We've replaced the default elevation data with super refined 76 meter (38 meter for some locations) information. The result is an incredible scenic views bringing the Flight Simulator experience even closer to reality. |

The package also has a large set of pre-planned flights that takes you over some of the remarkable new Flight Simulator landscape.
