Ok guys and ladies. Yes Asobo did mention protecting their employees. That's all that needed to be said

 Post after post was based on the virus and that's not the subject of this topic. In addition anymore negative comments on how this is moderated will buy you a vacation. 

Thank you.

There is no expletive I can use here to describe my excitement - Tell me the shot by MoMedia1 was not over a real ocean!

And, Corona - do not mess with the Team! 

*shivers in internet fear* 

I thought the view of what I think was Paris (?) was pretty impressive as that city isn't a city supported by photogrammetry. If that's true, and I know we've seen it before, but it still blows my mind - then the autogen is quite amazing. I know previously some people had concerns about Warsaw missing large buildings, but I think even if rather noticeable stuff is missing, it's still not going to break the immersion too badly if we get autogen thats straight out of the box, looking as it does in alpha.

I'm wearing my icehockey helmet with cage just to be sure.

Waves certainly are not too big, it's the capacity of the screenshot that strikes me because it's the first ever MSFS screenshot that shows the subject (the Caravan) razor sharp in front of a very blurry background (the sea). No other MSFS screenie shows a capacity like this. The impression i get is of a realworld RC model of a Caravan flying over a rough sea at low altitude, shot with a very fast shutter speed so only the subject remains sharp. ( not that such is the case, if it would the sea would be even more blurrier and would show that well known background movement effect ).

It's not like i am the only one here that thinks that the sea looks blurry while the Caravan looks sharp, is it ??.... I mean, there's no way you can take a screenshot like this without messing about with it...... Can i say it's... uhmmmmm.... fake ?

Only asking..

The creator of the screenshot says on the reddit thread the water looks even better in motion than in the still photo. The most realistic water he has seen in a game

I would love to see how water effects look beneath a seaplane as it takes off and lands. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the Icon.

How do you know, and are you talking about a specific picture?

 

All the Photogrammetry seem to me not having overlay roads (yet)

the one on top of nervous water looks good.

Anyone know where the first screenshot is, the one with the river bend?

It's the Elbe river at Rathen, Saxony, Germany. SE of Dresden

Has to be Jack Murphy Stadium with the interchange of the 8 and 805 Freeways in San Diego, I know I'm a native of this area (at least in the past).

Great capture btw!

Could that be why the sea looks blurry ?  If that's true it would be truly amazing but i still can't believe it...

Thanks for the tantalizing comment !  😉
