Yosemite Valley, located in California’s Yosemite National Park, is one of the most iconic natural landmarks in the United States. Known for its dramatic granite cliffs like El Capitan and Half Dome, and world-famous waterfalls such as Yosemite Falls and Bridalveil Fall, the valley attracts millions of visitors each year. For those flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator, it now offers a more immersive and visually rich experience thanks to the new ➡️ Yosemite Valley scenery add-on by Cli4D Designs.
Cli4D Designs' new release includes terrain and texture improvements to address issues commonly seen with default satellite imagery, such as overly dark shadow patches. Elevation and road textures have also been refined, although the developer notes that some limitations persist with terraforming, especially in areas using TIN data. Custom 3D models with PBR textures have been added for a number of key landmarks across the valley. Animated waterfalls and rivers contribute dynamic elements to the scenery, and each Point of Interest has been individually detailed to better reflect its real-world counterpart. Major sites covered in this package include Yosemite Falls, Glacier Point, Vernal Falls, Bridalveil Fall, Tunnel View, and the Yosemite Valley Chapel, among many others.
You can start your flight from multiple spawning points within the scenery, including a suggested location at Cascade Glade or from the nearby Mariposa-Yosemite Airport. You can find the Yosemite Valley scenery by Cli4D Designs available for ➡️ purchase at Flightsim.to.
