High over Holland

Created from highly detailed aerial photography, VFR Netherlands lets you fly over every square inch of the scenic Dutch landscape in breath-taking photographic detail and enjoy the same views from your virtual cockpit that real pilots see when flying over Holland.

Luv'ly stuff

By replacing the representative (default) scenery for the Netherlands (provided by Microsoft) with real aerial photography, VFR Netherlands gives you spectacular views of the whole country in your simulator, allowing you to take in a completely new perspective of the Dutch landscape at a fraction of the cost of flying for real.

Some of the fantastic features (Press the links to see screenshots) :

  • Photographic Scenery - Unbelievable quality and clarity

  • Stunning aerial photography, showing every home, street, town, tree, river, valley and mountain in the scenery area

  • The scenery is generated from the best aerial photography available and is displayed at the maximum level of detail resolution that MSFS can display

    • Where the hell
    is that dam?

    Complete Countrywide Coverage

  • Giving you over 41,000 km2 (16,000mi2) of highly detailed aerial photography and terrain, for the first time you can enjoy sight-seeing and exploring over every square inch of the Netherlands in Microsoft Flight Simulator

    • Terrain Mesh (elevation model) - Highly detailed & accurate

  • A 30m elevation model is provided which includes every lump and bump of terrain in the Netherlands

    There's home: Right there!

    Interactive Water Bodies - Polish your landing skills on water

  • Every dyke, pond, reservoir, lake, river, and esturary in the Netherlands has been designated interactive, giving you moving, reflective water textures, and the option to land float aircraft anywhere in Holland

    • Mum! Can you see me?

    Airports - Full integration with existing FS airports and add-ons.

  • VFR Netherlands is entirely compatible with existing airports and add-ons

  • By simply replacing the scenery surrounding the airports with real aerial photography and elevation data, you can now enjoy flying into and out of the default FS airports, or beautifully crafted add-ons from other designers, with real photographic detail

    • Have Fun with VFR Netherlands:

    Go Sight-Seeing/Explore the Netherlands.

  • It’s not until you actually take to the skies for a bird’s eye view that you really know the world we live in. VFR Netherlands now lets you soar the skies free from air traffic control on your home computer, exploring the beautiful Dutch landscape and enjoying the same incredible views that real aviators do when flying over the same area

    • Lost my socks, again!

    Practice VFR Navigation

    If you’re studying for, or already hold a private pilot’s licence, Flight Simulator and VFR Netherlands is one of the most cost effective ways of practicing VFR Navigation.

    With every road, river, railway line, and landmark in the coverage area accurately and recognisably depicted in photographic detail, you can identify features on maps and charts to help you navigate cross country flights over the Netherlands for real.

    Fly Reconnaissance Before Taking To The Skies

    If you’re planning a cross-country flight over an area you’ve never flown, VFR Netherlands allows you to fly the exact route (in your preferred weather conditions) and collect Visual Reference Points (VRPs) which you can use to plot your course when flying for real.

    Scenery so real that it is used by military, civilian, and private pilots for training.

    VFR Netherlands is quite literally a landmark development in simulation. Using a highly detailed, seamless mosaic of aerial images of the Dutch landscape, VFR Netherlands gives you a virtual world so real that you can recognise even the smallest details on maps and flying charts, allowing realistic VFR Navigation and IP to target training.

    Coverage:

    VFR Netherlands is provided with a DVD packed with real aerial photographic scenery and terrain data covering the whole of the country.

    VFR Netherlands includes over 41,000 km2 (16,000 mi2) and will take up approximately 1.7 GB of space on your hard drive.
