I tried to compare some real photos of worldwide known dominants with the same scenery in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. I used MSFS 2004 without any additional scenery except the two buildings of World Trade Center (they are not included in Flight Simulator since version 2002).

Visitors arriving to the Liberty Island can see nice view of "Miss Liberty" and Manhattan.

           You can see bird's eye view of Manhattan (there is Battery Park in foreground), East River, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.

           View from Empire State Building. You can even recognize Miss Liberty in an estuary of Hudson River.

           We do not stay in New York only. There is very famous view of San Francisco Bay with amazing Golden Gate Bridge. You can see Island of Alcatraz in the distance (it has different direction than in reality), Treasure Island and San Francisco.

           Everyone knows pyramids in Giza. There is the biggest one in foreground, 137 meters high Chufev's pyramid.  In the middle, there is Rachef's pyramid (it has an untouched pinnacle with calcite paneling). The smallest one is Mencaur's pyramid.

           I tried to catch also some known dominant feature without exact edges. I choose Mount Everest (in the middle). Next to Everest (on the right), there is a peak of Lhotse.
