Watched the whole video and ya wow... really really looking forward to bush flying and other types of low+slow across all the varied terrain and biomes across the world.

Maybe even some ballooning 🙂.. speaking of, anyone used them yet? interested to hear about the softbody physics and inflation/deflation stuff that Seb demoed at the 2023 FSExpo.

The 3D trees alone is such a wonderful transformation down at ground level

That does look stunning!

Is that the Optica you're flying? That might bey. favorite "sightseeing" airplane in MSFS 2024.

Yes, a great sightseeing aircraft.

That does indeed look incredible! To be fair, this area looked great in 2020 after the new zealand update because this is all in photogrammetry, so it really enhanced the cliff faces. Spectacular in 2024! I wish they spent more time updating beautiful rural and landscape areas in photogrammetry, not just cities.

 

Absolutely Epic!

Amazing.  Unfortunately my sim is just a low resolution mush at the moment. 

Stop trying to connect your controller to your morning oatmeal.

MSFS 2020 For Comparison

 

Indeed! I was amazed by this mountain in the Alps yesterday. What an improvement over 2020!

@outermarker

So we finally get more high res Dolomites? 

In MSFS we only got the "Drei Zinnen" 

and I was getting all envious of X-Plane and Frank Dainese's sceneries. 

I really loved his mountains in P3D and was sad that he switched away from MSFS. 

Hi Mrbitst.  Interesting video and a couple of quick questions from me, if you don't mind:

1. System specs, resolution and what kind of FPS were you getting?

2. Which aircraft is that?

Many thanks

That's hands down the best mountain-screenshot I ever saw from a flight simulator. And that is all generated scenery, nothign was done manually to get that!

MSFS 2020 For Comparison

The problem in that MSFS 2020 video are the trees. Now to be fair, when MSFS 2020 came out, the trees were really next generation for a flight simulator. But we had just come from the 2D trees in P3D and XP in 2020, so any 3D looking trees back in 2020 was better than what we had in flight simulation.

Having played MSFS 2020 over the years though, as revolutionary as the trees were for a flight simulator back in 2020 (and trees in MSFS 2020 were not revolutionary for a video game, they were just revolutionary for a flight sim), the lack of variation and the lack of accuracy of the trees began to grow on me.

I just checked some real life photos of Barron Gorge and the trees shown in that MSFS 2020 video are decent and somewhat close to the trees I saw in the Barron Gorge photo. However, I like to fly around the Vancouver metro area (Vancouver, Canada). There are a lot of trees missing from MSFS 2020 when I fly around the Vancouver metro area. There is only a few variations of trees that MSFS 2020 uses for Vancouver and it gets pretty repetitive and boring.

In MSFS 2024 however, there are more variation of trees, and the library of trees it uses is much larger. Metro Vancouver and other parts of Canada are much more fun to fly in, because all the different variations of trees can finally be seen in MSFS 2024.  Metro Vancouver now in MSFS 2024 looks much closer to real life Vancouver (albeit, there is still the problem of photogrammetry erroneously picking up trees and turning them into the ugly "photogrammetry trees" for Vancouver).

System specs in my signature.  I can be smooth up to 100fps outside cities or 70fps over cities.  However I set FPS limit of 60fps for some overhead.

Aircraft is the Optics.

How is the LOD Still popping on those cliff/rock edges when flying so slow on a 4090 card?

 

Is this still a server streaming issue?

I have NEVER seen my MSFS 2020 look like that.  I would have gone back to P3D is MSFS2020 looked like that!  No idea what your system and settings are but somethings seems amiss with your setup.  

24 looked great!
