Scenery is the landscape in FlightGear (or any other simulator). The default version of FlightGear comes with 2 square degrees of scenery near San Francisco, California. The rest of the world is also available. Details and accuracy vary from place to place.

The scenery data is released as World Scenery collections, available through download in 10x10 degree chunks from the the FlightGear website. FlightGear users may also use TerraSync, which downloads new scenery areas as you fly.

Some high-quality third-party scenery has also been released for FlightGear. However, because anyone may contribute models or terrain data to the official FlightGear scenery, third-party scenery add-ons are not as common as in other flight simulator projects.
