RFS 3.0 IS HERE!✈️
Pilots, prepare for takeoff!
With 3.0, we’ve completely rewritten our terrain system — a major step toward making the game more enjoyable while laying the groundwork for future improvements.
🌍 Introducing the Real World Engine (RWE)
RWE is our new foundation for terrains, bringing exciting new features and possibilities to RFS.
✨ Spherical World & Horizon
The world is no longer flat! Fly high and see Earth’s true curvature. Improved realism, navigation, and breathtaking long-range visuals await.
🛰 Enhanced Satellite Imagery
Higher resolution textures make the world even more detailed than before.
⛰ Improved Height Mapping
Advanced elevation data provides stunningly accurate mountains, valleys, and terrain features.

Explore the ends of the Earth with remade polar maps and seamless, no-load transitions.
🌫 Extended Visibility
RWE dramatically reduces global fog, allowing for incredible long-distance views — perfect for both VFR and IFR flight.
🌅 Improved Lighting & Atmosphere
A new world deserves new light. Sunsets and dawns now look more realistic, making every shot picture-perfect.
