Bring the Caribbean to life in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with this highly detailed recreation of Terre-de-Haut, the jewel of the Îles des Saintes. This addon transforms the island into a vibrant, immersive destination for both fixed-wing pilots and helicopter enthusiasts. Terre-de-Haut is renowned for its turquoise waters, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant culture. With these improvements, every approach feels authentic, whether you’re landing on a helipad overlooking the bay or exploring the island’s winding roads from above.
Key Improvements
Dozens of New 3D Architectural Models
Authentic buildings rendered with PBR textures, capturing the charm of Caribbean architecture.
Upgraded Ground Textures & Elevations
Realistic terrain shaping and high-resolution textures for a natural island feel.
Custom Helipads
Strategically placed helipads for scenic approaches and helicopter operations.
Improved Rock Formations
Detailed geological features that add depth and realism to coastal cliffs and inland terrain.
Enhanced POI 3D Models
Landmarks and points of interest rebuilt with precision for sightseeing flights.
Refined Roads & Elevations
Roads now blend seamlessly with terrain, featuring improved textures and elevation accuracy.
What you get: the whole (small) island of Terre de Haut! Handcrafted buildings, handcrafted streets without tilt, beautiful and life-like vegetation, and most important of all: incredibly detailed beaches with the typical steep, rocky cliffs everywhere! This add-on really transforms the whole island. The difference to the standard sim becomes immediately clear when you fly to the next island, Terre de Bas.
This scenery is best discovered by helicopter or very slow flying plane, in order to get a chance to see all the goodies.
My only grief: there is a very weired collision box around Fort Napoléon. It either crashed my helicopter or caught it like a fly in a spiders net. Even my Avatar got stuck when trying to visit the Fort. Very weird indeed, but I’m sure the developer will look into this and fix it eventually.
My verdict: Terre de Haut showcases for what the FS24 is capable of. Highly recommended!
