November 21, 20196 yr One of the biggest let downs of the current sims is every place feels the same. The same looking cities, the same looking landscape. The same buildings and textures. Sure we can load an area with ortho, but that's one area of photo scenery with poorly placed 3d buildings. Seeing all the videos of the different cities below has made me realise how cool would it be planning an around the world trip (with the limited time i have to play it would probably take months to complete) Short hops, long hops across the oceans. Going to different countries will actually feel like it now, all with default scenery! Watch "Microsoft Flight Simulator: 9 Beautiful Cities in 4K60 - X019" on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/Z2HwLeJSAGc

Watch "Microsoft Flight Simulator: 9 Beautiful Cities in 4K60 - X019" on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/Z2HwLeJSAGc Completely agree. One of the main reasons I’ve not been interested in long haul cross continent flights is you don’t really get the sense that you’ve actually travelled somewhere new, always a sense of familiarity to the destination no matter where... I’m sure they’ll be some interesting flightplans in the future. Edited November 21, 20196 yr by Carts85

November 21, 20196 yr I disagree with the notion global travelling is the same and you do not feel any differences. I do mostly long haul Flights to many destination and I will point out some routs to show you the difference I know the default cities are boring. Same buildings and layouts. But You can add some megairports to exotic destinations and they do in big part add hundreds of square miles to airport surroundings (Just to name a few: Taxi2Gate, DD, FlyTampa, FlightBeam, Latin VFR, ImagineSim) 1. Try a flight from Dubai to Hong Kong 2. Try a Flight from Paris to South West African Country 3. Try A flight from Pakistan to Milan 4. Try a Flight from Milan to Copenhagen 5. Try a flight from Cairo to Kenya 6. Try a flight from Bejing to Tehran 7.Try a flight from Montreal /Toronto to San Francisco 8. Try a flight from Mexico city to Quito I Usually pick my destinations and Aircraft Type from Flight Aware You will see amazing terrains, islands, mountains, Oceans, seas and rivers and even ships and boats Spice it up with AI Traffic and Weather and you will have amazing fun Bill C:|mydocuments\mypictures\my signature.htm

November 21, 20196 yr I'm already planning to do just that, and reading up on VFR navigation in anticipation.
