Stuff of dreams not so long ago, I can't believe how good that looks. 

How do you get MSFS to look like this on the ground ? and How do you do the actual "walk around" like that?  Can it be done with any aircraft or is this just an official production from its sponsor?

Thats why they have 3PD. the default airframes will always be garbage. Thats the nature of the flight sim.

I think the walk around can be done in the drone view (avail for everything).  That looks like how they did it.  I might be wrong though.

What do default aircraft have anything to do with that vid?  I'm confused.

Well you are how many default planes can you open doors or do a walk around without a drone. They posted a video of a flyby and that is the first time I have ever seen that in a video.without using video editor.

I guess I'm confused as to what you're referring to in the walk around video.  Are you talking about the earlier sound video clip?

OK, same thing applies.  It's fine though.

Why do you assume they AREN'T using the drone camera?  I'm sure they are.  And whats the issue if they are, in fact, using it?

I am earnestly interested in how everyone is so excited to fly any airliner in MSFS without the ability to even set the weather back a few hours or half a day?  You want to do a day flight after work so you can see your lovely bird?  Well you're stuck with night-time weather?

I ask the question genuinely - most people on here are serious enthusiasts.

I actually use current WX regardless of the time of day I set, that way all the data matches, especially since I'm usually on VATSIM.
I can see how others would do it your way also.

I don't assume nothing. Assuming makes an word not allowed out of you and me. This program is more advanced at this stage even better the PMDG.

You're misunderstanding the live weather function.  You are correct in that you cannot load historic weather (even a few hours earlier).  But you are not forced to use that time of day.  You CAN have the live weather as it exists in the moment but set the time to midday for example.

No sim currently has a real weather system with historic weather (and I'm not talking about active sky-like phasing between weather presets at metars either - i mean a worldwide weather system).  XP12 might when it comes out.  Lets hope so.

If it ain't one thing it's another with you guys
