Complete World of Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has done the improbable. A complete world is available to explore, with surprisingly realistic 3D renderings. Now this is not just merely a few cities, it's the ENTIRE planet. Every city, every house, every distant peak or shore can be explored.

Microsoft uses their Bing maps in live time to provide accurate detail to whatever corner of the Earth you wish to discover. I will admit to spending hours and hours scrolling through maps of distant lands. Perhaps in a post-pandemic world I'll get to explore these valleys and vistas. But if I could choose 1 airstrip to explore from, I would choose the Patagonia region of O'Higgins, Chile.

If you could fly anywhere in the world with near perfect photo realism, where would you go?
