Cruise missiles which use optical terrain feature recognition for navigation, by overlaying and comparing what their camera is detecting, with a database of imagery stored on board can completely lose the plot if they fly over terrain in a different season from what is in their standard database, where things look very different. If companies with military budgets cannot easily solve this issue, it's hardly going to be a breeze for the developers of an X Box game. If Asobo is gonna reveal a surprise on launch, it's not going to be that they've come up with a solution to the insurmountable navigational difficulties with the BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise Missile, and as a spinoff, it means we can have Santa in our sixty quid flight sim. 🤣 Edited August 13, 20205 yr by Chock Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
