July 1, 20196 yr Yep, very realistic, BUT, I miss some lights on the terminal buildings (those KLAX, tower? purple lights...) and some lights over the TARMAC (light Poles and so...)
July 1, 20196 yr I added a view from Google Earth at the bottom. Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
July 1, 20196 yr Very impressive. I just worry we will need 6.0 or higher on the CPU and who knows what on the GPU.
July 1, 20196 yr hopefully they will make it more gpu bound if they have any sense Alexander Shepherd
July 1, 20196 yr Might be interesting to see a comparison with Marseille in France VFR, if someone has this and is good in taking shots.

July 1, 20196 yr After staring at these for hours, I conclude that we are not in bad shape now. It all depends on the individual simmer desire. Sure, I like good scenery, emphasis on "good". But I would trade good aircraft, good weather, and good airport models for high quality landscape. I want the terrain accurate, but I don't really care if I can't find my town, my street, my home. Other guys want high res scenery. That's great. I fly a lot at 370, other guys fly VFR low and slow. This is what makes this such a great lifelong pursuit. Bring it on MS !! 🙂

July 2, 20196 yr Really after 13 years we should be seeing this huge leap in scenery technology, imagine the huge disappointment if it looked like FSX again! I hope Microsoft can pull this off. The clouds and lighting also make a huge difference. Specs: 11900K (5ghz), 64GB ram 3600mhz, RTX 3080 ti
July 2, 20196 yr I think most of us use FSX with third-party scenery (ORBX, etc), so it would be fair to see a comparison between 2020 promo and FSX with ORBX, for example. Same goes for weather, enhanced by third-party REX . I doubt the difference would be that striking. I think the real advantage of the new sim would be obvious if the default package will already start from the same level of FSX+ORBX+REX+A2A+etc, at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the headache ...! But I am not that optimistic.

But I am not that optimistic. I agree with all. I run FSX with GEX/UTX/ASN/REX and so on. I run LOD=6, and Autogen on Very Dense. I flew over to Marseille and made a screen capture of the point shown above. It looks much better than the stock FSX shots but not as good as P3D and Orbx. I have no way to upload it though. But none of those look as real as the MS2020. But then france89 posted the google earth shot and that amazed me. Note in particular that MS2020 captures the transition to shallow water. I would be great if MS2020 starts out at FSX+++++ Rick Edited July 2, 20196 yr by Wink207

July 2, 20196 yr 2020 simply looks amazing and even better than the Google Earth shot! Really looking forward to this release.

I was trying to say my system looks better than the stock FSX (it better after thousands of dollars spent:), but not quite as good as P3D with Orbx. P3D has no real LOD constraint and I give Orbx the nod over GEX/UTX in this setting.
