And for a brief shining moment in 2020, the number of flight simmers in Kiribati exceeded the population of Kiribati.

Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any weirder.

Only eleven gigabytes to go! Can't wait for Grandpa Ethics to join us tomorrow.

Someone on another forum has just confirmed that watermasks are in.

For the non techies, what does that mean exactly? Something new that wasn't in before? I know the topic had been discussed but I'm not sure what masked looks vs. not masked.

You will be able to see the shallow water imagery from Bing. Those nice views of turquoise water with white sand, reefs etc.

Yes I’m a boomer and I’m thankful to have been brought up by Parents to try and do the right thing, not because it may be a law but to do the right thing by others. Therefore (call me old and stupid) but I, like thousands of others am happy to wait for the correct time because I don’t like jumping ahead of other people, just for my own good. Especially in these trying times it is even more helpful if we try and think of others. I always try to treat other with kindness. At least this time waiting has provided me with some interesting insight. Enjoy the waves in Kiribati. 

Ok boomer.

 

No wait.  I'm from the generation that followed, and I'm happy to wait my turn as well, even if it means not getting to start the download until tomorrow (and finish it...who knows?)

I ordered the Premium Deluxe. Installation has been flawless - the extra aircraft are there, but no liveries.

Well I learned something today. I never knew how weird the dateline got at its farthest reaches. Hard luck Hawaii !

I changed my region to download it but will have to be gone all day. This just allows me to play it when I get home at 9pm and not wait until midnight to start my download.  I started it about half an hour ago and I’m at 77/91gb.

Got to fly around downtown Minneapolis for 10 minutes before I have to head to work. It was running beautifully at 3440x1440 for me. One interesting note is that in the bing maps 3D data on the windows app US Bank Stadium is modeled but in-game it’s still a construction site. The stadium was finished a few years ago.

Ahhhhh to move to Kiribati or not to move to Kiribati... that is the question.

I am flying there in a C-172 so I can download MSFS. Should be there by Christmas, 2021 🙂

This is a lovely country. Friendly people and good food. Long live Kiribati.

I'm able to download and start it now (have set my location to Kiribati, but I'm located in Scandinavia)... Cool...
