The 'Ultimate' scenery upgrade for Flight Simulator is here!
Flight One Software, in cooperation with Scenery Solutions, have created a Flight Simulator 2004 terrain upgrade package. Using commercial data licensed from companies like Navteq, TeleAtlas, and DMTI Spatial, Ultimate Terrain provides a whole new level of detail of terrain features. Take your flight experience to new heights like no other terrain scenery add-on has to date.
Ultimate Terrain is available in editions covering differing areas -Canada/Alaska and USA are available now, with Europe coming soon. Each contains nearly every road in the respective area, enhanced railways, a new night lighting environment unlike anything else on the market, corrected Oceanic coastlines, accurate landclass textures, plus much more.
The end result is an improvement most people find staggering - some users have reported the overall result as giving true VFR-type scenery rivaling that of dedicated photographic scenery expansions.
Why buy several expensive packages that only give you part of the picture? You can have it all, and at incredible value with Ultimate Terrain!
