In Australia, driest continent on Earth, our native trees are more "scraggy" looking. I think the trees in general in FS2020 are just a little too "bushy" looking. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/558821-in-game-vs-satellite/?do=findComment&comment=4050328 That would depend on where you are in Australia, eg. Over the Blue Mountains of NSW, Victorian alpine region, QLD rainforests vs hinterland region and lets not forget Tasmania...you probably need 4-5 major tree-types to cover what we have here. 🙂

And tree are really really important. Very happy Microsoft team has paid attention to this and got it right, finally! It seems very premature to rejoice. Trees are important to me. I have always hated the extensive use of cypress-type of tree or NE Indian summer foliage, in the FSX default world and am always startled to see an OrbX HD Trees light pink cherry/plum tree in the mountains of PNG or anywhere where they don't belong. We need more variety and we need trees that are adapted to their geographical environment . I have not seen anything like that yet.

August 31, 20196 yr Folks, please calm down. As a software tester as my profession, and a flightsim beta tester years ago, any talk of performance is just a waste of oxygen. If the team building this sim is like any other software developer, "Alpha" is still a stage were features are huge on priority, not performance. Chill.

For me the stutters present in the Aspen and the aerobatics videos would be a deal breaker. Fortunately they're early alphas, so as you said there's a lot of time left to focus on performance and smoothness before the final product is out.

So you may be right! Just imagine landing in a storm with a float plane, on a moving ship with an helicopter, or taking water with a watertanker...all of this with this kind of water!

August 31, 20196 yr We need waves like this in case of bird strikes and a forced water landings like Captain sully, that's flight sim. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer
August 31, 20196 yr Not to concerned about graphics related items with MSFS2020… emphasis on the world simulator platform. Looks as if they are going all out on making the world as real as possible. Edited August 31, 20196 yr by rjetster1

Very astute 'orange' observation from a dutchman! - although it's probably unlikely unless we get more evidence - it's a nice thought though and I do like this image. Anyways more importantly will Max win tomorrow in Spa... Edited September 1, 20196 yr by dtrjones
