The last time, I was in Luang Prabang, I flew there in a Royal Air Lao DC-3, doesn’t make me any younger, does it ? 

Dominique, I would consider us the lucky ones 😉. Can you imagine to use a DC-3 nowadays to fly in Laos or go on Safari in Africa. Well, my wife and I did so a few times in the 1980s

And now, Dominique, you fly as close to the island (and as low) as I did and what will we see then? 😃😃

 

 

'nough said/seen 😃😃

I'm going to post how this place will look in XP with photoscenery, just for comparison 😉

And this is Pangulasian in XP11 with photoscenery at zoom level 17. A higher zl would make it look better, but would also require 4x the disk space

 

 

 

I think we can agree that MSFS might offer some benefits when it comes to scenery 😉

And HDD space, and frustration on installing and figuring out problems for weeks, and...

Eye candy is overrated. Who wants eye candy in a flight simulator really  ?

Any other pics I uploaded that covered downtown Manila, RPLL, Ortigas, Ayala Alabang, Bagio, Ilocos Norte or Caticlan I cannot post here without violating the NDA. The only thing I may be allowed to say is, I don't complain 😃 

Nice!

Do you have any complaints about the "slum"/"shanty" housing around the airport (RPLL), especially the threshold of 06? 🤔

Do you have any complaints about roof colours (a patchwork of green/blue/red/brown/silver)? 🤔

Actually it does, I have been to fairly remote places in Asia in real life and when I visit those in MSFS, they look pretty convincing. The buildings won't match, (you just cannot have photogrammetry for the entire world, especially not for all those remote little villages), but the flora and landscape is all there. Flying from Luang Prabang (Laos) for example into the wilderness, you will pass over small rivers and see tiny villages dotted along their shores, just as you experience in the real world. And remember, we are still in alpha !!

Whoever administrates this forum here, if you think I went too far with my description, please delete my post, before I get kicked out of the Alpha team 🙂

Thank you for this information, for what its worth - I don't think you've cross any lines. Not like you're posting pictures in here.

I thought I recall hearing in one of the official Microsoft presentation videos that the AI takes into account roof colours, and even structure heights? That's why even for areas of the FS World WITHOUT photogrammetry, we will all effectively be able to "fly over our houses" and it should look close to RW... did I remember that right?
