I'm looking forward to seeing the Icon taking off from the water and what water effects Asobo might apply.

I couldn't agree more. I'm already using the image of the Caravan over the waves (a cropped version of it) as my desktop wallpaper on my MacBook Pro. Loving the shallow DoF for this very reason.

My work computer uses the Airbus coming in over the water to land at LAX.

Bucharest Romania.

Bucharest in slightly faded colors in FS but remains a city of choice for future flights with all possible improvements.

 

I about fell out of the chair when I recognized Bucharest...and with this great scenery.  I wasn't expecting that.  Bucharest is like my second home...been there so many times.

Still a lot to do in the Bucharest-scenery: correcting colors and bridges, removing fixed cars and adjusting height of many buildings. Anyhow: Lightyears forward compared to old FSX!

correcting colors

I wonder why there's a green tint. In Bing Maps colours look normal.

It still has a slight green tint in bing as well.

While I think that might be too soon to announce a cancellation (have tickets been sold yet?), this is getting serious. 

The "good" point? Announcement can be streamed from game devs hq... But the world is stopping...

I know this is completely OT, but there will be lots of Babies born in 2021. 😄

Lots of divorces too.

Anyway, i am sure they can manage to do their presentations only in streaming. After all most of the traffic E3 generates nowadays is online.
