Almost 18k , 18 thousand people online right , flying. Might be it's just going to sell itself. 

You really do not know what 'many' people is, right? 18k about one week after release basically means 'forgotten in a year'

Do not oversell FS2020. If you were playing something based on Google maps, you would be looking at top notch ground textures and lots of photogrammetry all over the world. Not this ugly low res bing maps stuff that is used for FS2020

If this was Google it would be released as a beta, go unsupported for half a year, release two more similar products during that time that do the same thing with different cloths on, cancel the first product, then after 2 years of barely supporting the latter two cancel them too and announce a new product that sucks worse than all three of the previous and support it tooth and nail despite the fact no one uses it

many people = More than pd3/FSX and x-plane total in the past month  🙂 

 

my sim > than your sim

So I had the "terrain level of detail" turned to 80, too low. And I had HDR set to "on" on my TV. This combination really helped. So my sim looks WAY better and I take back much of what I said. However, I've figured out what it is that seems off for me..."pastels". I'm gonna play around with my TV's color some more but that's it in a nutshell. There is too much pastel colors especially with the greens and blues. I need to mess with my TV to get richer and warmer colors. I should have investigated my TV from the beginning but I never had any issues with prepar3d.

Of course I'm joking. How can the real-world image look worst than a fake one? Impossible! 

MSFS is a glorified google earth and pity that Google missed the opportunity. It's a not bad thing, rather MSFS is fantastic. I just wish that Bing could catch up with Google in terms of image quality.

And I don’t mean that in a good way. Not to be a curmudgeon, this sim has impressed me in a lot of ways but flying in mountainous areas has a very cheap feeling, like the old photoreal scenery add-ons for FSX. Yes, when flying directly over the terrain it’s great and the mesh quality is impeccable but looking from a bit out...cheap. It has that blueish quality, and that sorta “je ne sais quoi” that gives the feeling of flying in google earth’s simulator. Prepar3d simulates distant mountains much better, and if you have good mesh, it’s really good. I hope this can be fixed someday.

Well I have used Google Earth Sim extensively and this is better in my opinion
