“VFR Pilot - FRANCE” is a scenic complement for Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® which deals with the entire French territory by installing a new decor completely redefined and optimized to allow the practice of VFR flight in the best conditions. This product is made up of three add-ons, each a reference in their respective field:


The ambition of this product is to offer a simple, light and compact package which is a true reference in terms of VFR flight for simulated air navigation. The VFR pilot and a fortiori the simer will thus be able to work or reproduce his flights in a suitable environment incorporating the visual elements essential for VFR flight, in addition to the entire radionav infrastructure. It thus becomes possible to prepare navigations with relevant turning points, reporting points etc. and to carry them out in homogeneous and immersive conditions throughout the territory.

"VFR Pilot - FRANCE" is "THE" essential basic product for approaching VFR flight simulation in France.

  • TRUElandscape for the redefinition of the nature of soils and the precision of the hydrographic network.
  • NEXTMesh for very high definition relief (DOM included).
  • Obstacles and VFR Landmarks for SIA obstacles and thousands of VFR landmarks (DOM included).

NEXTMesh FRANCE:

  • Precision relief 4.75 meters LOD13 over the entire covered area
  • Vertical accuracy less than 15 cm
  • Fixed platform effects on more than 400 airports (slopes)
  • Optimal compression rate for a better quality / performance compromise
  • Splitting into homogeneous files of 0.5 degree x 1 degree optimizing loading times in memory and facilitating geographic identification of files
  • Extension of the mesh beyond the French borders (Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy)
  • Possibility of coupling the mesh with other generic meshes of lower resolution
