MSFS 2020 - Your House vs Your Expectations

Featured Replies

I was tempted to just add this in as a kind of addendum to the blackshark AI post, but decided this deserved to stand on its own:

 

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Can I find my house?
It depends on where you live.

I'm still constantly impressed at how good the AI is. It's just ridiculous when you step back and look at it in context to what we used to have.

Ain't it the truth!  MSFS has been an incredible experience.

PS.  I found my house. 😄

The AI can pretty much recreate all buildings, with correct shapes and roof colors. 
 

The issue here is it depends on the quality of the imagery and how good is their technique of machine learning (which will improve overtime).

At places with good imagery, everything looks pretty accurate right now.

I was summing up what he said in the video.  Since I'd already found my house, I didn't find the video to be that useful.  Others may have a different opinion.

There will be a long "I found my house!" thread after MSFS releases, and it is gonna be interesting. 😄

Yeah I got you. I was just adding some thought.

I found my house too. 😂

Looking at the practical facet of this. 

I don’t need to see my house ‘cause the only thing I could land here is a helicopter. And FS20 doesn’t have any.

I may have room for a STOL kit à la Cub but the trees around would make it risky and I would frighten my cat.

As there seems to be a switch for photogrammetry, I’ll get AI generated features even in photogrammetry areas when turned off? Has anyone tried that?

I saw my house years ago in FSX with MSE photoscenery.

Hm.  Well, there's a field next to my house with a 1300 foot run that I might try landing on.  We're friends with the owner and I'm sure he wouldn't mind. 🙂 

If that doesn't work there are even larger fields within walking distance.  I don't know the owners but getting forgiveness is always easier than getting permission. 😄
