A guy called Rafael is using this dataset (url below) (the South America part) to improve the terrain in MS Flight Simulator. Here are some before-after screenshots of some parts of Brazil:

I asked him (Rafael) where he got this data, and he gave me this URL:
http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/srtm/
He also said he uses flightgear, perhaps he is even subscribed to this list :) He also thinks flightgear could benefit from this data (but I suppose he prefers FS for now). Does anybody else know how to make flightgear benefit from this?
Curtis has already done some work to get this data supported for FlightGear. I am not sure about the current status of that, but given it was quite some work to get it working I doubt it won't show up sometime.
