July 31, 20196 yr Author Based on the beauty of the landscape, I think this will be my world tour with 152 stops Edited July 31, 20196 yr by Noooch
July 31, 20196 yr You "need" to visit the coastal regions of Norway. Go from Iceland via Jan Mayen to Tromsø. Then travel south along the coast down to England. I wouldn't skip so much of Africa either. Ethiopia has some stunning scenery, and will not take you too far south.

July 31, 20196 yr Author Actually I planned to make an "African tour" after completing this one but I'll look into Ethiopia 😉 And I'll reconsider the Norway coast. Oh my, I think I am good for an entire year of simming!
July 31, 20196 yr After seeing the scenery in trailer and that barcelona shot, I am genuinely excited to explore in FS20. Its a feeling I never had in any previous sims. Baber My Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/HDOnlive
July 31, 20196 yr I will make some contraband flights over south Florida heading to Cuba/Bahamas/Puerto rico on a prop A mix between Miami Vice and Barry Seal movies. Some landscape flights over New Orleans also. And flying next to one of those storms shown on the trailer... Woah, I'm having endless ideas with the sim...

I had that feeling with FSX for a while, but the limited variation of autogen made most of the scenery look the same. The photoreal cities really gives you a reason to explore!

July 31, 20196 yr There are a few places I want to visit that aren't on your tour. Gibraltar is interesting. Flying Cape Town to Nairobi to Cairo was really interesting. New Zealand in P3D was disappointing and I'm hoping for better and be sure to visit Sydney while you're in the area. I'll be looking for more stone faces on Easter Island than are in FSX/P3D. I've loved Narsarsuaq ever since visiting it on my first FSX world tour. Papua has some sloped, short and dogleg airstrips that you wouldn't believe, not in P3D without addon scenery. With autogen turned up way high there is a considerable regional variety of autogen and land class, enough to make a world tour interesting. Should be even better in the new sim.

August 1, 20196 yr If the new sim really does have good quality photoreal (good enough) for the entire United States like I think it will (the online version)...first - I really hope I can run it...but, second, for the first time in any sim, i will be able to fly over all the areas of the US in which ive lived or been to and I know it wont be there but there is a giant guitar on interstate 40 in east tennessee...maybe somebody will add it and all the other US oddities for people like me who constantly just fly around saying "hey! whats that over there?" or "I wonder whats around that mountain?" I too am really excited about the new sim. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life. There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.

The cool part about photogrammetry is that features like this can be included in 3D based on aerial and ground based photos. This is most likely a big part of the Azure AI functionality MS has talked about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry?wprov=sfti1
