December 13, 201312 yr Commercial Member I don't specifically know what you are referring to. But..Because: - It is beyond the scope/business model of a "Flight Simulator" - GTA V is built as a small (though big for a video game) area and those extra details are a necessity. - FS is built to simulate the entire globe. - GTA, I am assuming, is a far more successful franchise than Flight Simulator, having much more manpower and resources devoted to development items that allows them to build, test and deliver those extra eye candy features and actions, etc. That's just scratching the surface...

Thanks for the informative response Kyle. Please note that i was referring to the technology used in building the whole realistic scenery.

Please note that i was referring to the technology used in building the whole realistic scenery. it takes approx 5 minutes for a plane in gta 5 to go from one end point of a map the the other point. flight simulator covers the entire world
