What about light in houses and on buildings

[HiFlyer 9,359]

One thing often missed that provides an almost subliminal mental checkmark of realism is the red/green/yellow traffic lights as well as blinking lights of construction rigs, bridges, certain buildings, etc, etc......

Also; Variety! Anyone who has lived in a city knows that building/windows provide an array of colors.

Not to mention neon wonderlands like the Las vegas strip.

Hopefully the AI is pulling the night time satellite views of the lights, and using this for light placement and color.  They seem to be able to pull buildings roofs and side colors this way.

Hopefully also they will populate street lights in rural areas correctly. It looks ridiculous to see street lights on country roads.  Outside cities the world is quite dark at night.

I recollect seeing  street lights at  intersections of country roads.

Sure, so we are in agreement then.  They should use night satellite images (or whatever) to infer where street lights actually exist (eg some country road intersections) and leave the rest alone.

Red, green, orange, pink, blue, even blinking neons.🚦

[ILSFREAK 56]

I wouldnt go as far as asking for blinking neons ( would be nice though)

As said, I will be happy

I like it. But I still missing red beacons on some rooftops. I know this will be made at a later date. And honestly the rest looks pretty good.

Wait — are you saying MS and Asobo have dropped the ball?

🤣

[n4gix 4,947]

Honestly I couldn't say. Not because of an NDA either, but will check for it next December 31st!

[GlideBy 324]

I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the ball.  😎  But that they also have fireworks at the same time.  I wonder if times square will be full of people.  And fireworks on July 4th.

I wonder what other date related events they could do that happen in the sky?
