try Flight Simulator with the VFR Photo Scenery disks! "
Quoted message said:
A nephew installed flight sim on a revved up cast-off asus 875 board, he likes it and I have not had the opportunity to give it a try yet. It looks like fun. He sent me a screen grab of a valley in Cumbria that is home to my brother, it looks correct.
Has he got the photo scenery and hi-res terrain mesh? You really need quite a powerful computer with a good graphics card to run it well.

How does it compare to Google Earth? (Assuming the area is at high or highish resolution, of course.)
