Thanks for all the responses, it's a really interesting discussion. I've been in a few fixed 737 home sims (no motion, not certified, running FSX as the outside world) and I find them even fantastic. I suppose it really is the physical environment of actually being in the exact physical replica of the cockpit that you can never come close to on a home PC setup (VR perhaps is getting closer). This guy has been a fantastic setup for a home cockpit.... Wouldn't it be amazing (perhaps not required though) to see the latest level D sim with the FS2020 outside world engine - it would truly be "as real as it gets".....

Anyone here who works in the commercial simulation industry and can shed some light on the quality of graphics/scenery available in commercial Level D type simulators (as used by the airlines). From just looking at YouTube videos, the realism of the outside world doesn't come close even to P3D, never mind FS2020. I'm sure Microsoft will be looking at commercial simulator market also with this sim or does anyone know how such agreements come in place i.e. what companies current develop the outside visuals for these commercial sims? This video showcases some of the graphics and looks like FS2020 would blow it out of the water

As a Dubai resident also, I would love to be able to fly over Busines Bay, the Palm, the Marina etc. in full photogrammetry quality! Inshallah this will come in time..!

I was here last year, Las Cabanas beach just south of El Nido town! It's a testament to the quality of the simulator that I recognized the location before you confirmed it. Agree that trees could be smaller but on a whole, its a fantastic representation. This time last year I was sipping on some San Miguel at that little beach hut at the corner.

Folks, Apologies for the lack of support/forum issues. I have had a number of personal issues over the past 2 years or so but this of course is not excuse when there are paying customers with issues. Since development has as good as stopped with Eiresim, I plan to consolidate existing products by fixing outstanding issues.Please find below a message I have posted on the now spam free forum: "Hi Folks, As I'm sure most of you will have recognised, the forum has fallen foul to some serious spamming over the past 6 months or so. This is partly due to a lack of maintenance on my behalf (due to various reasons outside of my control). I am in the process of cleaning up the forum and hope to have this exercise complete over this weekend. I am deleting what I suspect to be spam accounts so apologies if I mistakenly delete a genuine user (sometimes it is very difficult to spot the difference!) At that stage I will endeavor to follow up all posts I have mislaid due to the spam and solve/resolve all (or far as possible) outstanding issues. On a plus side you will have noticed that Belfast City was released last week and I will be setting up a sub-section also for the relevant support. There will also be a full update on Belfast due this Sunday evening (Irish time) to resolve some minor issues and make the airport fully compatible with Orbx Northern Ireland. Finally I would also like to welcome Ross to the Eiresim team. Ross was entirely responsible for the development of Belfast and I think you'll agree he done a great job. Thanks again people for your support and apologies again for the spamming of the forum Terry"

Hi folks, Fix is currently 90% completed for all of the above issues (including adding more 3d cars) and I intend to release it on Sunday evening so please keep an eye out on the home page on Eiresim Sunday night (Irish time). I'm also dedicating the weekend to getting the EIresim forum back up and running. I've been extremely busy with real life work over the past 2 years and have let that part of Eiresim slip. This is not acceptable and I intend to get a fully working, responsive forum back up and running over the weekend. As ever I am always available on the support email if there are any issues Terry

Hi Brian Apologies for the issue. I have just replied to your email, there was a minor glitch with the sales stem Regards Terry

Hi guys,Terry here from Eiresim. Yes as pointed out I hope to do Belfast City (with 20cm/pixel) imagery. Luton will have to be finished first of course but i'd hope to have it started later this year

Ok guys,Its time again to announce the next product from Eiresim (www.eiresim.com)After much deliberation it was decided to design London Luton Airport. This will be Eiresim's first Uk Airport, an important airport that is Easyjet's base.Please find below some preview screenshots. Please don't expect release before Christmas but progress is good.The Eiresim Team

Ok Guys,So after developing for the past month or so it is now time to show some preview shots of Eiresim's next scenery.This is our first scenery outside Ireland and is a personal favourite airport of mine. Like Cork it contains high quality 20cm/pixel aerial imagery throughout and 100% custom textures.Still a bit to go yet but pleased so far with the results.Note is also includes the new T3 which is nearing completion (in real life!!)Enjoy,Terry and Conor SmithEiresim (www.eiresim.com)

Eiresim Scenery Design announces the release of 'Cork Ultimate' for FS2004. Made to a high level of detail and accuracy, Cork Ultimate is the most realistic release to date from the Eiresim Team.It is the first Irish Airport to include high detail 20cm/pixel aerial imagery that captures Cork Airport in all its glory.Attention to detail has been the key behind developing Cork Airport and all airport structures have been included with the scenery, including the nearby Business Park in its entirety.Purchase FS2004 version here.http://www.eiresim.com/eick.htmlExpect FsX Version to be available within the next month.
