Impressive 

Niagara Falls is an amazing place. The American side gets dumped on a lot because  Niagara, New York is a dump crumbling city left over from the industrial age and part of the `rust belt'  and claims you don't get the same `stunning' view as you do from the Canadian side.  Rubbish. Niagara Start Park on the American side is a gem amongst trash. It's worth it. I despise the Canadian side as it's 200% a tourist trap and no nature involved. Niagara State Park is grass, trees, and walking paths. It lets you experience the falls and the river in a more natural habitat then the concrete jungle across the way and taking a walk out to Three Sisters Island is terrifying as you get a literal up close and personal view of the power of the river right before it goes over the falls. 

Great video.. Just wanted to rant a little about the beautiful falls from a real life perspective.

Flight simulation has never looked so close to reality.  Incredible to be a part of it.  Hopefully the water currents in MSFS will be more alive in the future though.

Wow - agree this is an amazing time for the hobby.

The trees and vegetation are still noticeably too thick in MSFS, which you'd think smart people will figure out eventually.  At least its not like is way too thin, which you'd think would be a tougher problem.  

Once the particle effects are matured enough for things like waterfalls to have water vaper clouds around the falls themselves this sim will be unreal. Also there will be some great opportunities for 3PD to amaze us all.

its easy to half those or 75 % them, but you need to tweak a file.

Stop it! It's yet another place I've now got to fly....😂

Is this the default falla now or with a mod?

From the video description: "Default Flight Simulator program (ultra settings) used with no altered files or added modifications."
