I think what makes the MSFS one look so great is the depth of field flattened - as is the trend these days - and I dare say - a little bit of Post-Production by some well paid graphic artists at MS. I'll have another go in the morning at getting the shot aligned with the MSFS one and then I'll have a go in Photoshop. And I'll post a before and after processing...

July 19, 20205 yr Author I realize your shot is real but I believe its not rue 3d light coming in - the 3d engine didnt have that tech - the new FS 2020 may have actual 3d light flowing into cockpit - just a thought could be way wrong Rich Sennett

The light is being transmitted in a different way in terms of graphics engine. People chat about these things and my eyes glaze over as I'm out of my depth technically. But my eyes see what they see. It does look absolutely wonderful, doesn't it?

July 19, 20205 yr Author Lol caught between posts - well see Buddy now I am really confused 🙂 Rich Sennett
July 19, 20205 yr Author Just saw leaked video of aircraft at parking spot and raining and dreary it will blow your mind - WOW Cant post screenshot would assume thats not allowed Holy you know what lol - the rain drops are bouncing off the ground now I can tell you thats never been done before Oh and the grass is moving with the wind Edited July 19, 20205 yr by Richard Sennett Rich Sennett
July 19, 20205 yr Yep - Cross-posts!. I don't think the light is being transmitted in the new sim like it was in P3D and FSX. Maybe that's what Asobo has brought in to this. I'm so out of my depth talking about graphics I couldn't begin to tell you. "I know nooothingg," I just know it looks good. Let's go flying!

Fly safe everyone and remember your six pack scans. Get up to 1500' AGL and THEN you can start taking selfies, AFTER you've done the After Takeoff Checklist of course. 😉 Edited July 19, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese

July 20, 20205 yr Moderator I haven't read where anyone has noticed that in one of the latest official videos that the ramper walking across the wet tarmac was causing ripples in the water... ...now that is attention to detail! 😌 Fr.

July 20, 20205 yr Incredible realism even with the trees close up. I just saw a video today on wccftech that was leaked of a GA. With the proper settings this MSFS2020 really does shine.
