Description
Elsewhere is a calm, open-ended flight experience for exploring places that don’t exist. Fly a bush plane or light jet through endless procedural mountains, islands, coastlines, clouds, weather, and changing light. No missions, scores, or marked destinations - just follow your curiosity.

Could you build this?
No Creating an open-ended flight simulator with procedural infinite terrain, fluid aerodynamics, volumetric clouds, and dynamic lighting requires specialized graphics and physics engine programming.
What it would actually take: This needs a custom engine in C++ or advanced Unreal Engine/Unity setups with custom HLSL/GLSL compute shaders for infinite procedural terrain generation (marching cubes or clipmaps), continuous LOD management, volumetric atmospheric raymarching, and blade-element theory aerodynamics physics. It requires seasoned graphics and simulation engine developers.
