Download either of the two latest databases

You can download and use either of the following two databases:

Small database has more than 43,000 sites. It includes detailed sites in the FS urban areas, global mountain peaks, 4000 larger cities of the world and 38,000 U.S. sites.

Large database has more than 170,000 sites. It includes the 43,000 sites above and an additional 129,000 World Database sites that includes international cities, towns, rivers, mountains, lakes and rivers with an average spacing of 15 miles.

When using the large database, it may take up to two minutes to start Flight Simulator (depending on the speed of your computer). Afterwards you'll note that the database has 171,506+ landmarks (About box). The 170,000 sites appear when Landmark Density is set to High (you can set this from menu: Abacus | EZ-Landmark | Options )

1. Click to download one of the two databases. You may have to right-click and choose "Save Target As" to download the database.

Small database EZ-Landmarks.dat (1.6MB) 8/23/02 1:30PM
or
Large database EZ-Landmarks.dat (6.4MB) 8/28/02 8:02AM

2. Copy the downloaded database to your main flight simulator folder
 
3. Start Flight Simulator and
EZ-Landmark will show you the "easter eggs" in the major cities and thousands more throughout the flight simulator world. 

4. Since you can have only one copy of the database active at one time, you may want to download both the small database and large database to different folders and copy one or the other to your main FS folder depending on how many sites you'd like to make active before starting Flight Simulator.


 

Reducing the number of sites on your display

With 170,000 sites in the database, you may find that you'd like to reduce the amount of detail that appears our your windows as you fly.

From the Flight Sim menu, choose the Abacus | EZ-Landmark | Options to adjust these items:

Display - you can choose to display a landmark's the name, distance, magnetic bearing and true bearing

Landmark Density - you can choose from three different settings to specify which landmarks are displayed on the screen. You can individually set a database entry to display at low, medium or high density.

Show landmarks - you can adjust the visibility to display landmarks that are from 1 to 30 nautical miles from your aircraft

Font size - you can choose on of three different display font sizes for optimum viewing
