Speaking as a race simmer I would say MSFS maybe needs more explosions and carnage to attract a larger chunk of race simmers.

Strange, I never play Asetto Corsa or the older Geoff Grammond F1 Grand Prix for the carnage. 😉

After 12 years of sim racing on iRacing I changed my racing rig to a flight simulator rig and I don't regret it.

The areas of the world i've seen that as an intelligent person i like to think, gave me a new perspective on things, like how much of the UK have we cut up to make bricks and slate, changing the landscape to what we think is 'normal', like how farming is so regimental that what we perceive as 'nature' isn't really at all.... straight square fields etc, or circle fields in USA and Mexico (whats all that about?).

Yes, it's honestly been quite eye opening to me. I think a lot of people believe that we still have vast swathes of nature still untouched, but MSFS really shows how we've left our fingerprint on most of the planet. Even in areas one would consider to be untouched - you can usually find a road and few buildings.

And yeah, HUGE areas of the planet are a patchwork of agricultural fields. Europe, for example, is pretty much all either urban areas or rural farms, with very few untouched areas.

I also was a sim racer. Played iRacing. But I'm a convert now. As much as I enjoyed sim racing, I definitely have become smitten with the more relaxed nature of flight simming.

In my most of spare time I mainly simraced ACC in LFM...  

Well said! Flightsim is a great addition to Racing Sims.

Well said. Tell your friends! The more people we have engaging with this platform, the more it will continue to be developed and flourish.

Speaking of which, I believe BIng is  scheduled to do a significant photo imagery update this year.  Does anyone know when this is due?
