And what's amazing is that they were able to accomplish that effort with just a few hours of time spread across a couple of days.

Click-bait title...

It was the VL-3 all the way through Alpha, but the Virus has replaced it for now. I'll probably go back to the VL-3 at some point because the G3x touchscreens are easier to operate with a mouse (clicky keyboards instead of turning knobs).

I'm just amused at the lamentations about people on other sites not knowing about the AVSIM library when AVSIM doesn't permit linking here to other sites... Something-something karma.

Seemingly random control inputs is usually caused by a button or axis being assigned to do multiple things. Check your control assignments for duplicate functions.

The buildings sizes and shapes are generated from Open Streetmaps data. That's how they have the buildings placed right in bad imagery area. If you see a building that you know is the wrong height, go check OSM... it's usually missing the height tag for that building or the height is wrong (somebody put in the number in feet when it should be meters, usually). I've fixed a few that I noticed. Hopefully the next World Update catches those.

(In Morpheus voice...) What if I told you that whole purpose of FS2020 is to crowd-source error-reports for Bing Maps from the incredibly anal-retentive and vocal flight sim community?

As someone who mostly flies low and slow through the mountains of Alaska in the sim, I'm thrilled by the depictions they showed of terrain influences on the airflow. Your plane should be getting pushed up on the lee side of passes and pulled down on the windward sides. Your plane should be getting abruptly sucked toward passing valleys on the lee side and pushed away from them on the windward side. We may be getting that.

Lake Clark Pass and Merrill Pass are a couple of my favorite routes.

Hmm... the AI cars appear to navigate traffic circles about as well as I do.

That icing...

Hmm... it's 737 right now.

Your FedEx guy is going to hate you when he drops off your package containing 2000 BD-ROMs.

<citation needed> Seriously, what are you talking about? I haven't had a single CTD yet in v4.

If I'm low enough to see trees moving, I'm too busy to look at the trees.

You used to be able to delete your own posts if you realized it was redundant or otherwise useless after posting. Then, the button to do that was removed. So, now, all you can do is edit the content out and leave an empty post cluttering up the thread. I haven't been around here much for a couple of years, and was just surprised that this feature was never put back in.

(Years have gone by and I see we're still waiting for the "Delete Post" button to be put back in the editor.)

Do you have the vegetation receiving shadows turned off while the ground is set to receive shadows? That would do that.

Do you find the textures to be "too green" when you are outside the coverage area of the ORBX North America packages you have?

These problems only exist if you choose to set up your profile that way.

Alaska... Merrill Pass and Lake Clark Pass are fantastic routes into bush-country:

So, if you're slipping, you have to look sideways instead of straight ahead where you are actually going and need to look? This is silly... use head-tracking and just look wherever you want to look anytime you want to look.

I agree with the TrackIR or other head-tracking suggestions. Any kind of automatic head movements are frequently going to end up not looking exactly where you want to look, based on what you're doing. Meanwhile, with head-tracking, you can effortlessly and naturally shift your viewpoint and angle just as you do in the real world. There's a tiny learning curve due to the way head-tracking amplifies your movements, but you should be able to adapt to it in just minutes. TrackIR has been the #1 add-on of my entire flight-sim experience for making simulation more like reality.

I did until I hit the button on the audio panel to turn them off. Too loud.

Really, just having it autosave my last aircraft and panel switchology settings when I quit the sim so I get dropped right back into the same situation on the next sim-start is worth it.
