If I was able to see them in drone view, you should be able too, what is so hard about it?

Go and take a picture yourself.

Because you weren't able to see it. He knows it, you know it, and he's calling you out on it.

Night lighting – Terrain emits light? – Terrain emits light, see thread for further examples and screenshots.

Its on their list of things to be fixed.  So they seem to be aware of it and sounds like they plan on addressing it.

So are they just never going to fix the massive trees? I mean look at those screenshots in the thread above. Especially in Chicago, trees are massive and overlap the roads and some are half as tall as sky scrapers!

There is a fix for that in the Tips and Tricks forum. It's a simple config file edit...

I wonder if it is possible to change the size of those mindmills too? They look a tad too big too... IMHO...

I don't understand why people want to "add" contrails. They are present in the sim you can see the particles behind each engine.

The effect of heat is modelled behind the engine not contrails.

If I know Asobo, they'll want to get a good grasp of the conditions of how contrails happen and render it to a point where it can also be seen by other players at distance. I'm sure it will be really cool when this feature arrives.

I personally am more interested in seeing the contrails from other high altitude jets in the area than I am seeing my own contrail. As it is, I wouldn't even know there were jets up there if not for the tags. After all, I can look out my window IRL and see contrails all over when the conditions are right.

I look forward to the implementation of replay mode. It seems to me something fundamental that should have been active from day one

I just had time to do a quick flight with the CJ4 from Orbx London city and over London city pack, and while I  just have a few more fps around 45-50 the smoothnesshas improved a lot. For the first time when I see 50 fps on the screen I really believe it. Taking off is smooth, you can feel the speed on the runway and the same goes for the landing where you can feel the speed of the impact of your wheel on it.

Still a lot of test to do in the following days but I´m really happy with the performance of the sim after this patch.

Cheers
