A thread on what we love about MSFS?

Not having to buy a lot of photo real scenery as I did for P3D is a big advantage. It costed more than € 1000 just to have Europe photorealistic.

I hope that seasons will be added in the future as that would be very welcome.

There...we agreed for once.

Those who LIKE FS2020 prefer to FLY and not to write! 😃

 

Not to hijack this thread, but what is wrong with your altimeter?

Good luck doing that with the crappy default scenery from XP/P3D.

You are right, it is impossible to fly over other continents with that scenery 😂

Just was "switched off" to have a TRUE VFR experience and not be scared of low altitude! 😄

Pretty much impossible, yes.

 

I'd much rather have something like this out of the box:

That I can fly from Cape Town to Entebbe on a 5 hour real-time flight over Africa and for the first time ever in a sim, looking out the window is actually interesting, educational and pretty exceptional. Not a single addon to make it so either. Oh and no CTD like would be guaranteed to happen on final approach to a detailed airport in the old days of 32-bit P3D and FSX on a flight that long.

The space it leaves on my nvme when it's not installed 😆

Now I know why the HSI in your profile pic is showing the NAV flag - how appropriate for your favourite simulator 😋

And to think we could not even get decent FPS with THAT. 😄

Great thread idea. For me, it is an opportunity to explore our planet like never before. So immersive!

I love the feeling of dread knowing that the airframe at -10C is going to ice up as I descend into a beautiful, scary overcast (and it does!) in mountainous terrain, hoping for the occasional glimpse of the terrain (thinking - I wonder how soft those trees really are - if I hit them?) to stay safe and on-course down to finals - AWESOME!
