The Canary Islands.

I know this is old news, but because I visited the real thing last week I searched and found some great scenery of the Canary Islands at Flightsim.com. Look for 'Project Canarias 2006' by CanarySim and you'll find three parts. Very well done, I had no problems finding my way around my holiday destination of Tenerife. It really reflects the volcanic nature of these islands.

The Teide volcano, the black part is the site of the 1798 eruption:

Arm yourself with a download manager such as 'getright'; and you can start and stop downloads mid-flow;
and resume paused downloads at will.

Ferry, F1 sorely missed your presence but I hope the trip was a good one.

Like Naismith, Project Canarias is too big for my casual interest.
But I imagine, really good if you are going there, nothing like a bit of photoreal to get your bearings.
I do this a lot, both before going to a new place, and after.
