Well I can't load up FS right now and tell you the heading to find the Eifel Tower from Charles-De Gualle, but try finding a river that runs through Paris and the Eifel tower is right next to it along with downtown  Wink

Looks like they beat me to it. Smiley
From KIAG; take off from rwy 28R and hang a quick leftie towards the river. You'll see the Skylon Tower Madcat pointed out in the distance - that's your landmark. (BTW - real cool; you can see its elevators going up and down!) You're approaching the Falls from upriver; so you're not going to see them until you pass over; but get your belly just over the water; roll it right as you reach the Falls and zip under the Peace bridge for a nice photo op and quick suspension of your pilot's lisence. Cheesy
IMO the Falls scenery is pretty disappointing; not nearly big and grand enough. Looks neat in a pic though. Smiley

I agree that the scenery leaves alot left to be desired.  Embarrassed And this is at Ultra high for me. If you look close enough on the tower in my 1st SS...you will see the elevator. I never see that before myself until I read Staiduk's reply.

I completly agree with on the fact of how Microsoft left out a lot of detail to landmarks when designing the game. Also The Niagra Falls in real life is much larger and wider than it shows in the screen shot but I am about to go there my self in the bell chopper to see for my self......

There is indeed some good scenery in D.C., but you've got to look for it.

The Washington Monument won't be at all hard to spot, but if you look closely in that vicinity you'll also see the White House, the Jefferson Memorial and I believe the Lincoln Memorial.



...and the Capitol Building.

For a trip of other famous landmarks head to Egypt, check out the pyramids and the Sphinx!
Or if you just want dirt and rock head to Iraq Grin Grin Grin Grin

to see the tower in Paris, just fly to the downtown Paris then you should spot it in no time.
