My nitpick is they could make the city lights turn on earlier or when there is a dark storm overhead. Sometimes the city looks like it’s in a blackout.

Great points. the water looks like it came out of an early version of GTA (as per that screenshot). I hope they fix that in an update.

I'm hoping that somewhere in the sims innards where it tells it to load a Bing map ,a computer whiz makes a mod to load Google map instead.It's obvious why Asobo and Microsoft can't do this(if it can be done at all) but someone is sure to try.

I think you missed the memo about Azure. It’s not only a direct usage of the map service.

I’m pretty sure he already pre-ordered it just so he can take screenshots of the trees and flood the MSFS forums with his agenda.

That's debatable given the fact that he managed to plant himself. And this whilst flying a plane he didn't pre-flight correctly, nor refuel adequately, and took off in whilst he was not actually permitted to fly owing to numerous drunk driving convictions and a propensity for indulging the 'Jamaican Woodbines', which, great as it is, is really what the song Rocky Mountain High is actually about incidentally, forcing the FAA to revoke his status on medical grounds...

Don't you like my singing?

 

I would think that what we currently see is what we get at release date, because of the DVD-version. Normaly these need a couple of weeks to prepare during which no change can be made to the content.

Ofcourse they can and will have changed the content, first thing the dvd version does is getting the needed updates.

Why not give this list a chance to grow?

• At Madeira Airport cars are driving into water
• No flight envelope protection with the Airbus (please fix!)
• Airport ground textures look too clean - like it's coming straight from the airport factory 😄

So many people compare MSFS scenery with ortho scenery, but it's just so much more. I think we will notice when we are able to fly ourselves.

Clearly your oxygen mix is too rich 🙄... Scale looks plausible to me (if they were trees on Earth)  unlike conifers and "rainforest/tropical" trees in FS2020

This comment is just bizarre.  Every sim available as of yet requires its users to deal with outrageous levels of mediocrity.  Lockheed and Laminar certainly have counted many of those blessings.

Sure, so instead of raising the bar we'll just wallow in the mediocrity of past efforts, because it was good enough for P3D right? 🤦‍♂️

How about Asobo fix it, instead of letting mediocrity rule the day? 🤔

Brilliant, you've cracked the case Mr Holmes.  And what was my agenda? Do tell. 🙄

I think that you have missed the statements that, once you have downloaded the 90GB, or done the 10 DVD install, MSFS goes online & updates are downloaded. So, like Windows 10, regular updates. The DVD install will always need to be updated. 

As it has been said!

Yup, those of us who were around for FS2000 onwards will recall MS even patched FS to remove the WTC towers because people were replicating the 9/11 attacks in the sim and sticking videos up on facetube.

Thanks, I didn’t know that @Lorby_SI had done a FSX addon. Too late to try it but it was a great idea. 

I went to the home page and I see it includes MP. I am not fond of MP but a good DLC should have it indeed. Referring to @Chock’s  earlier post about tanker collision,  managing the firefighting aircraft traffic, heavies, 415, turboprops and helis from the reservoirs and dedicated airfields would be a plus for a realistic DLC.

Weird comment, so, by association, 1st person shooting & combat games are ghoulish as well? As for racing games.. maybe there will be crashes and accidents.. rubber-necking there as well?

Heck, in racing games people even replay accidents.
