“Outerra World Sandbox gives you the whole world to use as canvas to create, explore and share. Create terrain and share it online or download the creations of others and then explore it on foot or in any mode of transportation that you and the community create.”

That’s the intro of Outerra World Sandbox’s official website . In a nutshell, OWS is a platform that allows you to build on top of the world.

In the video, which you can watch at the beginning of this article, you can see aircraft being added to it – both civilian and military, as well as ground vehicles. Don’t blink at the beginning of the video or you could miss an Apache!

While not a full-blown helicopter flight simulation package, Outerra World Sandbox is allowing users to add their own assets and potentially create their own sims on top of the platform.

There are not a huge number of details right now, but we can take a look at the tools and they look very interesting already.
