This site shows the progress I make in building my own Flight Simulator. The simulator should eventualy simulate flying a Cessna 172 as real as possible. Meanwhile I use the simulator as a flight training device to train for my private pilot license course.
Today I have ordered and downloaded 'Roads and Railways Benelux'. This is absolutely a must when you want to simulate vfr flying. I plotted a flight plan on my aeronautical chart and tested the FS2004 simulator add-on. All roads (and more) where there as on the real life map. Instead of flying around, trying to get from airfield to airfield by just a heading on the compass (or GPS...) you can now navigate by visual contact with the ground. This makes the sim experience a lot more like the real thing.
P.S. The screenshot has also the 'Benelux waters' add on.
