September 19, 20232 yr People have often speculated on MSFS's possibilities as a world simulator, with driving a car being one of the usual suggestions. I've always thought the sim wasn't nearly granular/detailed enough at low levels, with the roads (as in FSX/P3D etc.) often going sideways along hilly/mountainous geometry. This video kind of supports that, and I have no idea how/if it could ever be fixed enough to be useable. The only program I've ever seen that automatically kept all roads level was Outerra....

September 19, 20232 yr Don't know if this will ever get fixed/improved. Maybe in MFS2024, or maybe never. But I'm ready and waiting! Not wishing to do the "this sim/other sim" thing but this is one of those things I really like about XP. Either following a road at tree height in a heli or similar, or actually driving along the freeways. I'd love to be able to do this in the MSFS world but we're a ways off yet, I suspect.

September 21, 20232 yr While the default roads are shaky, some addon devs actually implement smooth collisions into bridges and overpass roads. MSFS has more "open world land road/sea/air travel life simulator" potential than some realize.
