20 Years of Flight Simulator A Cessna lit in the warm glow of sunset. Together we took a short flight beside Mount Raineer. Using the United States Geological Survey and other sources, the team is able to generate terrain that's accurate within 30 meters. If you're flying over some suburbs, you'll see houses and yards. And as Lavering and I buzzed the terrain around Mt. Raineer, a forest of 3D-rendered pine trees was generated below us.
Rivers look better than ever.
Previously terrain features like rivers and lakes were drawn over top of the terrain with polygons. As a result flying at low altitudes is more breathtaking than ever before. Right Down to the Rivets. The 3D rendered cockpit and controls. The planes have been re-built with equal attention to detail.
