Here is a top down view of the tool used to edit Vector and Raster data, such as roads, taxiways, DEM, Landclass Rasters, and even draw polygonal buildings which can be layered to make more complex 3d buildings.

Adding sub meter LIDAR DEM to Flight Simulator
Ian Parker took this fabulous shot of the same location in real life, its an amazing comparison to what digital data and FSX could do!
Here is the sub meter LIDAR DEM added at the same location I got from the Southern California LIDAR mapping program. 
Here is the default DEM for FSX at the Furnace Creek Wash in Death Valley.Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Scenes from the ill fated Train Simulator 2
Track layout and landmark building placement all put in by me using a global geo-spatial editing tool (level editing on a global scale) propietary to microsoft. We used a lot of ArcGIS tools, and python scripts to get the data ready.
Artists provided the assets for us to place in the "level" editor and we used a system of automagically generating trees shrubs where buildings were not and based on the location in the world.
Flight Sim - Cologne Bonn airport by Max Perry
Airport building layout designed by me, aprons, and objects all placed by me using a propietary Microsoft geo-spatial (GIS) editing tool. This includes taxiways, and the AI paths neccesary for fuel cars, AI planes, and moving jetways.
