Cool, wußte gar nicht, dass es sowas gibt...

Also die von Borger genannte Datei befindet sich definitiv bei flightsim.com.

Nazca, in Peru, must be seen from the air. The site is located in a desert about 20 miles north-west of the Nazca airport,
and it contains some 25 large-size figures, drawn on the ground many hundreds of years ago.
From what I read, it is uncertain who made the lines, and no one knows why.
Mistical theories abound, including that astronauts were somehow involved in the drawings.

Whatever the significance, the figures and lines in Nazca are something to be seen, and seen from the air they must be.
The folks who made them never saw their creations, I am sure. But FS2004 can take you there. Well, almost.

Nazca, in Peru, is a strange place indeed. It has lines and figures drawn on the ground that have lasted a long, long time.

The area is arid, receiving very little precipitation. A lot has been said and written about these lines, most of it by people with a very fertile imagination. Nonetheless, the lines on the ground are intriguing, and make you wonder who made them and why, if they definitely couldn't see them. There are no mountains in the area that can be climbed for a view. Even today there is an observation tower near two of the major figures, and all the others are invisible from the ground. Well, one of them, the "Spaceman", is on a slope and can just be seen, but the real spectacle has to be appreciated from an aircraft.

The figures are about 20 miles north of the Nazca airport. The location of one of the figures is S 14° 41.46' W 75° 06.76. You can easily find them using the "Go to Airport..." function to locate yourself at the Nazca airport and follow north-west, along the highway (the Trans America). First you will see the observation tower in the distance.

Well, aircraft is what Flight Simulator is all about, but Microsoft didn't place the lines in Nazca. So, I spent some time trying to find information on the latitude, longitude, orientation and size of one figure, as well as relative positions of most of the figures. Pictures of the figures are easy to find on the Net.

The figures I made are almost where they should be. I had to take some liberties to accommodate some terrain features and roads. The Spaceman is on a slope, but too gentle compared to reality.

Everything was made with FSSC (Thanks Derek!)
