September 17, 20205 yr Hello, Is there a way to improve the world map resolution shown where you select your airports ? I cannot see any detail (towns, roads ) just airports and some POI. Details help you a lot to prepare a flight. Of course, I can prepare flights with another program, but it would be easier inside FS 2020 ! I only get Fusion, Satellite or Ifr maps. Google map or Openstreet map would be perfect ! Thanks in advance.
September 17, 20205 yr Yeah the world map is extremely poor, not just the details it's missing but as you say the resolution when zoomed in is not good. Hopefully it's on the list to improve in future.

September 17, 20205 yr This is one of the ridiculous things about MSFS: you get full Bing world coverage in the sim but a lousy basic world map in the menue. I wonder which donkey decided to do this... Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

I wonder which donkey decided to do this... For 'Donkey', read 'software engineer under stress' and given other priorities for now! 🙂 It is poor, but it will be improved. For those who keep saying MSFS was released too early and is unfinished, probably correct, but I would rather have it now and live with the poor VFR map until it is improved; this whole program is a massive undertaking so I am prepared to give them some time.

I have a question. I have also been looking at the free VFRMap for MSFS (the author has done a great job), but I have to alt-tab out and back in. How can I bring these type of applications up in MSFS while I am in full screen mode, or is it only possible in windows mode? Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

September 17, 20205 yr It's an issue and I too hope the resolution improves at some point, but not an insurmountable issue, there are ways to work around it. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
September 17, 20205 yr Well, the most embarrasing thing is that MSFS is currently almost a pure VFR sim, yet you can not properly plan VFR routes in the sim. No matter if this is harsh or not, those that took all those decisions are really... One can certainly not excuse all and everything due to the rushed release. Some stuff is per design wrong and would not have been different if released a year later. The flightplanning map is one of it...

If no, ask the developer to implement it. FStarter dos have that and can stay withing th MSFS, both in window and Full screen mode.
September 17, 20205 yr it would be nice to see the enroute weather forecast and weather info on the map when you plan your IFR flight. Now I have to search the internets for the weather info and maps. Weather maps are integral part of the aviation yet there is none in MSFS2020.
September 17, 20205 yr Commercial Member Here is real weather info when on World MAP UI with FStarter
September 17, 20205 yr Commercial Member With FStarter you also have real metar weather reporting at any airport
