February 27th, 2020 – Development Update

[Casualcas 830]

People sure are loving those sunset pics, aren't they? So am I. And I cant wait to fly hong kong, from big A$$ buddha, discovery bay,  to Sha Tin where I met my lovely bride. And nothing beats that laser light show from Victoria peak overlooking Central,  and the harbor. God I miss hong kong. Great people. Fantastic food , but way too many stairs. Lol

Neither the Mid-levels Escalator nor a taxi...?
You were doing it wrong! 😄

Hong Kong is fantastic. Had a great year out there and it's my second favourite P3D destination - I went in for all the available scenery to replicate the city.

After walking the 1.5 km to 10,000 buddhas, I saw the stairs and thought, oh crop. I saw god twice on the way up

It’s really sad there will be no helicopters at launch, with every update screenshot released, I really want to “helicopter” this sim soooo bad.

But my spidey sense is tingling. I just have a really strange feeling something will be there, that they said won't be. I dont know why, just a feeling

This is going to be the bad weather flight sim of choice.

The final screenshot has a lot of cars on the roads, with lights.

I only counted five cars with lights.  I assume they haven't focused too much on cars yet.  Either way, they have a long way to go to make Los Angeles roads look normal from the air.

Name of the picture is "Shortgrass.png". And the name of the picture with the Grand Caravan is "Undulating.png".

Yes, they listen.

That's hilarious, now people are going to complain that Sirena in Costa Rica should have taller grass. haha.

Awesome building, very low resolution texture on the ground, anyone have any idea where is this? Also I suppose this building was modelled the rest autogen. And I Also see a lack of 3d autogen trees and cars possibly because of thr low res satellite image.

Thoughts?

I live in Los Angeles - which screenshot are you referring to?

Absolutely bonkers. 

Enough said.

By the time 2020 is released, everyone may be walking around wearing surgical masks, and flight sim commercial aircraft may be the only ones actually flying.   Uh oh. Too soon to kid about that?

Nice pics, but Dubai looks not so good. Shadows where no tall buildings are and still doubled shadows.

WOW WOW WOW,  So excited,  I am speechless ...

In that rainy Cessna approach shot – is it just me or are we finally seeing approach and runway lights propagate through the fog like they should? It’s hard to tell, but I’ve been waiting for the obvious for decades.
