Happy Flying. Thanks to the modder.

It will be interesting to see how Asobo and Microsoft react to this. I'm not an attorney so I have no knowledge of any breach of EULA.

That's a potential powderkeg for sure.

As an individual user who wants to selfishly modify the platform to use a competing product i guess it would be interesting.

As for anyone else who wants to see MS/Bing Maps/Asobo succeed in this project this is a non starter and i hope this gets patched out real quick.

For all the word not allowed(grief) i have given and will give MS/Asobo when they screw up this type of platform manipulation to use the competing product is just not on for me.

Just my opinion

Lets see, buy a Chevy, and put a Ford engine in it..  LOL

 

 

 

At this point in time I wouldn’t attempt to use this, I would much rather wait until a msfs endorsed app or update comes available to better the visuals.

I guess one could argue that the body of the “Ford” isn’t available at this time. IE msfs base simulator is the Chevy body, and the ground mapping is the Chevy engine, but there is an available Ford engine with twice the power but no available body for it, so let’s put the Ford engine In the Chevy body…Semantics if you will lol

.. and speaking at least just to the screenshots posted in the mod description page...

Is it just be or does it kinda looks worse than MSFS native?  I dont see any trees or vegetation - things that are procedurally generated from the base BING map ortho - things that contribute far more to the overall quality of the image than the photo overlay itself.  And if thats the case, whats the point?

I read the description and there wasnt any mention of this.. I could certainly be missing something of course - maybe the author can elaborate.

If you had the Ford engine and it fitted and was better why not ?

What if you then get a CTD with the transmission? 😄

 

 

 

Then I'd argue that it didn't actually fit 😉

Does it work against the Delta variant?? 🤕

Many modder used GoogleMaps for 3D region creation in MSFS2020 and it was not so bad when compared with the existing Bing 3D data. Additionally, there seeems to be no legal problem with those outsourced data. Besides, ASobo/MS did not care about those. Of course these are interval solutions and we all want to see native data will improve. This is just a personal use mod which some would like to try or not.

It is better not to use offensive wording, in any case.
