no i mean in general. the servers have always buckled at peak times.

So are you saying the servers buckle every weekend? The servers didn't even buckle during the tech alpha once you got in.

    Not impressed by the videos, not enough to jump from my modded MSFS 2020 build yet.

You also had rain lines visible outside

Do you mean on the surface of the aircraft? Because that's in 2024.

Still not sure what you mean by rain lines.

Rain lines are not visible in 2024. It is a long standing bug introduced with the Xbox release and now marked as Won't Fix.

I was in the alpha and I was able to see raindrops without them being directly lit by an artificial light. This is something I looked out for because I, along with @Abriael made noise about it way back when it was first taken out in 2020. The effect is not overdone in 2024 so a screenshot would not tell the full story. It was definitely there in the Alpha.

Again, rain is invisible in FS2024.

For Pete's sake, man the video does not show anything in the downpour. There's clear sky directly above and the rain is happening off in the distance. This is exactly why you were already told it makes no sense for you to make conclusions when you were not in the alpha yourself.

Multiple videos and still telling me my eyes are lying? No. I will judge on what I see.

5:05 Is the plane sweating?

 

This is terrible. How can ObsidianAnt say "It's Never Looked This Good Before"? Sellout

Ant wasn’t even invited to the grand canyon event. Hardly a sell out.

Not that it should even matter but he was actually invited. Sadly, he wasn't feeling well enough to make the trip at the time. In any event, anyone calling OA a sellout over this is not worth the time wasted.

call me crazy, but I prefer rain without the lines.  Its pouring out my window right now and I don't see any lines...but i do see little rain splashes on the surface below.

fair enough

Anyone lying to my face and profiting from it, yes, is a sellout. In any event, discrediting me over name calling doesn't make the evidence any less a fact.
