draw distance in bing maps vs flightsim

[767lover 285]

I noticed when hovering over bingmaps scenery, eg mountains, that mountains in the background look blurry until you get a lot closer. I do not think this is the case in flightsimulator, at least not in the posted videos. 

Is there a possibility it could be my internet connection causing this, or does the sim has some technique to render detail in the distance better?

Thanks

The sim will be rendering things very differently than the way Bing maps does.  So yes, the sim has techniques to render the distance better.  The draw distance in the sim is up to 600km.  You might like this thread - https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/558821-in-game-vs-satellite/page/39/#comments

Also, in the sim you can preload and area, so it will look great even if you have bad internet.  And to get the full experience "real time" you only need a 10Mbs connection.
