Colors were a bit better, but the area coverage was extremely small. The City Update 7 coverage is way larger, it goes much farther north, and as a consequence: - the whole city surface is covered, unlike the freeware addon which stopped like one or two kilometers away from the sea... - the surrounding villages are covered as well - the mesh for the hills is much better You just need to ensure you don't have any conflict from any other local scenery. From my side, I'm very happy with this City Update 7. I can finally see my home in photogrammetry in the sim. I can also see the homes of my brother and a friend which are living in the villages north of Nice, on the northern hills. Yes the photogrammetry models are UGLY when seen from close, but they look very good from a close-enough distance. Helicopter flghts are superb. Landing the helicopter near the house is not, but I can live with this. At least now the houses are not stupidly over sized (like one story too much) like the default autogen. If a local signs off on this then the stamp of approval is confirmed.🍺 FS2020 Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR
May 30, 20242 yr Keep in mind I have barely checked a few specific places so far. I gave my VR headset to my brother for testing it for a week, so I'm not able to use the sim until next weekend 😞 I just triggered the sim and moved around in slew mode quickly, without checking all of the details of the area. I have spotted a few issues for sure, but for now I'm quite happy about that scenery and can't wait to explore it more. The only thing I can really criticize so far is the size of the trees which is still too tall, despite having chosen the "small" setting in Accuseason.

May 31, 20242 yr Aerofly FS has native VR. And it works very very much better than does MSFS VR. And is problem free and easy to switch in and out of VR on the fly. I doubt MSFS 2024 will have native VR (because of Xbox compatibility). 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
