Where is Matterhorn

[brettt777]

Can anyone tell me exactly where Matterhorn is in FSX? I flew all over the Swiss Alps and could not find it. If it isn't there or at least doesn't look like it should, is there any new scenery available for the Swiss Alps?

Should be close to Zermatt, on the border with Italy.

LOL! Talk about 'moving mountains' !!! :whistle:

The Matterhorn is where it's always been, but it still isn't as 'recognizable' in default FS as in some of the add-ons.

I guess the most 'specialized' add-on is this one: http://www.fs-freeware.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=748

That looks suspiciously like Frank's freeware scenery available from here:

I highly recommend all of Frank's scenery, especially when used in conjunction with the freeware mesh available for the entire Swiss/Italian Alps.
