The crew 2 with next-gen graphics?

[Kinetic2080 5]

The video below shows a night time flight in the crew 2. 

This is what next-gen flight simulator could look like

link to YouTube :

 

A few thing to note:

* there are way many more point lights than fsx-based scenery can support, maybe even p3d

* the visual range at altitude seems to be at least 70nm which would be passable even for airliners

* the visual range is also greater than GTA 

* buildings can be zoomed in to street level where you can look into windows, (no texture map walls, but fully detailed buildings)

* the miniature USA features most of the US landscape types and 4 autogen types , taking about 20 GB+ (Including vehicles)

However:

The map is much smaller, los angeles - las vegas in the crew 2, in fsx på like a trip to Bakersfield (north of LA).

A 1:1 scale us might not be dynamically loadable at this detail level?

the map is «fantasy» , buildings in example LA is not 1:1, also buildings are generic not «Google earth»

There is some scenery popup at least on my ps4

So with graphics like this is it about time we get a flight simulator with next-gen (or current gen) graphics?

Obviously the 'game' designer knows absolutely nothing at all about aircraft or flight dynamics.

Of course, but thats the job of the cpu, my post is about the utilisation of the gpu.
