If you”re looking for a tool that will display and convert DEM data, this is the tool you”ll be looking for, it’’s expensive, but if you are into creating your own terrain, then you can”t do without it.

Global Mapper is more than just a utility; it has built in functionality for distance and area calculations, raster blending, feathering, spectral analysis and contrast adjustment, elevation querying, line of sight calculations, cut-and-fill volume calculations, as well as advanced capabilities like image rectification, contour generation from surface data, view shed analysis (including Fresnel) from surface data, terrain layer comparison (including differencing), and triangulation and gridding of 3D point data. Repetitive tasks can be accomplished using the built in scripting language or comprehensive batch conversion functionality.

Full Terrain Experience introduces a radical new modular design with a level of visual fidelity unprecedented in Microsoft Flight Simulator since its introduction over twenty years ago. For the first time ever it is a pleasure to fly low and slow and take in the depth of features that our ground terrain textures provide.

FTX Features:

• Super-crisp, superbly detailed 1m per pixel textures unique to each region
• Custom Landclass for every FTX Region Pack and 3D night lighting systems!
• Improved and highly accurate coastlines (AU Regions)
• Brand new autogen textures for trees, houses, buildings, roads and more
• A set of freeware photoreal GA airports with every FTX Region Pack

Unlike FS2004, with FTX it’’s a case of the lower you fly, the more detail you will see! It’’s completely the reverse of what you have previously experienced, and it is only when you see FTX in motion on your PC that you will believe how truly immersive flying can now be.

This is the “top end”, as the locals call it. Wild coastlines, lush tropics, harsh, tough country and the home of cattle stations (or ranches) which are bigger than some countries. Welcome to the wonder and nature of the Australian tropics, and a region no less interesting than the populated coasts.

Discover Catherine Gorge and Kakadu National Park. Explore Darwin and the North coast. You will find the contrasting lushness and harshness of this rich landscape an amazing place to bring out the explorer in you.
