July 18, 20205 yr With Flight Simulator 2020 set for release on the 18th of August, there remains some confusion over exactly what the sim will be offering. Specifically, what's the deal with the number of available airports? Also this week - Microsoft detail how the in-game Market-Place will work, the beta update We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

July 18, 20205 yr Im a bit unsure what the topic of your post is. I mean, do you feel that 37,000 airports is a too low or too high number? Are you unsure about the quality of those 37k airports? Could you please specify your topic? Afaik, Asobo claim they have represented every single airport in the world due to satelite imagery, and 40 of those are hand crafted. Several more might have had an asobo representative have a look at them for quality control.

The video is regarding what type of quality people expect from the various types of airports anticipated to be in the SIM. The video shows, that there are three basic types, and discusses the differences. Edited July 19, 20205 yr by HiFlyer We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

July 19, 20205 yr Seems to me that some people think that all the 37.000 airports are all handcrafted or at least gotten a personal touch. From the video I understood they use a personal touch to educate the AI that imports the rest. I would never think that asobo has manually looked through ever single airport. This is also why I think that airports are prone to errors and that bug fixes will keep happening to correct them after the initial release. I dont think, or at least hope, we wont see any major gfx errors like in fsx (big gaping holes in the earth anyone?). I think AI is a really big step forward in regards to the quality we get out of the box. I could be wrong though, and Asobo has indeed had to do manual passes on all the airports.

So if this is really some airport, this picture must be taken before processing.
July 19, 20205 yr when I consider how many different airports I have flown from/to in the last 10 years (aprox 30-40, mostly stuff i bought) then I see with the 37000 still enough possibilities to explore new stuff 😅

This image was taken from Alpha 1... long before the smaller airports were touched at all. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
