Adrenaline junkies, helicopter pilots and bush flyers… pack your virtual suitcases, get those cameras ready and head to the spectacular Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, thanks to Jeppeson2001’s latest release.
Situated on the Zambezi River in Southern Africa, Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world and boasts stunning views and a plethora of thrill-seeking adventures.
Now in Microsoft Flight Simulator, the scenery comes jam-packed with intricate details, making the falls a must-visit for sim pilots. Among some of the features of the scenery include fully-animated bungee-jumpers, African wildlife and even white-water rafters along it’s 30km of animated rapids.
As in reality, the area around the waterfall is littered with various heliports and dirt strips, meaning there’s no shortage of different sorties sim pilots can choose from. Furthermore, be sure to check the boards at some of the airstrips and heliports for route maps of tours you can recreate in the simulator.
