FlightGear comes with a limited set of [[scenery]]. Apart from the Bay Area around San Francisco (including the default airport [[KSFO]]), additional scenery can be installed by the user.

You can download the official [[World Scenery]] terrain from the [http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/scenery FlightGear website]. Alternatively, custom scenery is available for certain specific areas. They are distributed separately due to their license, or because their level of detail is not suitable for low-end machines. See [[Suggested Airports/Scenery]] for a list of custom scenery projects.
