Expert Overview

The MSFS Millau Viaduct Scenery adds a remarkably accurate rendition of the world’s tallest bridge to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, capturing its graceful steel spans and the dramatic Tarn gorge below. Through high-fidelity modeling and carefully refined terrain, you’ll experience flight paths that reveal the structure’s elegant lines from any angle, complete with authentic lighting and beacon effects for compelling night journeys.

In testing this add-on, I found it seamlessly integrated with the surrounding topography, making every approach feel realistic and immersive. Nearby airports like Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne, Carcassonne, and Montpellier-Méditerranée offer convenient gateways to explore the bridges of southern France and appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship of this scenery. It’s a stellar addition for virtual pilots seeking to combine engineering marvels with the thrill of authentic flights.
