Some poeople, including me, would actually find it funny to fly around and see glitches. I remember doing that back in the beginning of fsx. Finding big holes in the earth etc, or some black tower going up to high heaven.

Sounds like you need a trip to MSFS Greenland.

At the moment the best use of sim is backcountry flying - slow and low!

This is a sightseeing sim! - Yes, but unfortunately it's supposed to be a flight sim, and that it's not quite so good at doing at the moment.

I do love low and slow, so happy with that aspect of the sim. IFR, I do try to avoid controlled airspace as much as posiable. I follow roads and rivers. So glad I finally found your interesting Youtube channel, I will add it to my aver growing list. 

I enjoy sightseeing

eager to reach Pompeii and Mount Vesuvio

The island of Montserrat in the Caribbean had a volcanic eruption in the 90's, destroying a town.  It has been called a modern day Vesuvius. It might be worth a visit.

I once spent almost an hour on a border post in Arabia to explain that my wife is from Austria and not from Australia. These misconceptions are more common than we may think.

You've obviously never spent much time in P3D or X-Plane, yeah it's funny about the blue skies, everytime I look out of my window I see the same old blue or Orange or Red (depending on the time of day) reality can be a B***H!

Well yes it's still better than P3D. In fact I switch off autogen in P3D. It is truly awful and kills FPS.

But I would like to see the building algorithm to include a degree of random colours.

Hopefully it will be tweaked with time.

Oh, and for anyone who really thinks that I think Venice is in Spain ......  Google "Humour" ... and 'Derek and Clive' .... the "I don't speak a word of Belgian' sketch....... You'll thank me 🥴 😂

I think that FS2020, at this point in time, is a game rather than a sim. Hopefully it will become more serious.

Some of the planes don't even work correctly.

What I really don't like is the fact that it is limited to 60 fps. Does anyone know how to get past the 60 limit?

@McPlane would you even be able to notice if the sim went to 100 fps from 60? I would not have thought that 60 frames per second only is an issue.. :unsure: Or even 40 fps

Exactly. Even if you are lucky enough to get over 60 ... Why ?

Lock it at 60 and keep some headroom ....and temps down.
