I wish they would release a map with the spots covered in water masks tho, like they told few Q&A before.

I see quite some ships from Nielsen's pack near Livorno, so north of Marina di Campo. I have set traffic to 5% as was suggested so i don't think i am going to see many "filler" traffic like sailboats and other small ones around

What's your ship traffic setting set to? Did you try elsewhere? I see plenty of them even here on the tuscan coast.

The article is from October 2020, it should give you a hint that this isn't exactly new. 😛 There are tons of sceneries extracted from Google Maps and posted on the usual sites for that reason 🙂

Why would they? All the better for us.

Any tweak is better than the bland colors XP11 vanilla came in with, honestly. That's why XP12 with the new lighting and clouds will fix the main issues visual wise (and hopefully will continue with bland water and those awful glowing trees and shadows). The only unknown is if we'll be still alive by the time XP12 arrives.

It's also hard to justify people thinking that if something is added to the sim, it means something else was delayed. There are different developers with different tasks and skills. Just because something is put out doesn't mean it stopped something else from coming. Also what you, or anyone else find a MUST is subjective so i'll rather honestly have MS, who developed platforms before which were successful in the flight sim scenario, handle how to develop a simulator instead of me, a client. As for the tower of Pisa, since i am from there, i have to report to you that currently it's a horrible grain silo 😛 Thank god there are photogrammetry addons from Google for the city, tower included.

Woudn't have expected that, to be honest. Especially since for quite some time people were even turning the screens on the right in the cockpit to gain some more fps with it.

Would be indeed nice to add the FBW A320 to the list, because i suspect it's not too far away from the CRJ

There are fans of both simulators, and a good chunk are both delusional on different things. It's pointless to dive into those view, they will never reconcile. A lot of them also has to somewhat defend their own investment in money on a peculiar sim, they need to confirm their certainty about having picked the right sim. Me, i used all Microsoft Sims until FSX, then switched to XP10 and XP11. And Aerofly. And DCS. And now mostly back in MSFS (but waiting for XP12). If people tried more things perhaps they would see there are advantages and disadvantages.. The issue is that they do not.

The comparison will need to be done with XP12 (whenever that happens), anything else doesn't make sense in here. Use the simulator you enjoy and that's it. This topic will end up in another silly fight between fans in a while.

That option is already deactivated on my .exe

Yes but it should be a last resort, because it's equivalent to reducing your game screen resolution. But while with the monitor setting you can only switch between "standard" resolutions, with that slider you have more intermediate ones. The lower the render scaling, the less pixels the sim has to draw on, the more performance you gain back AND the less quality you keep. It's manageble only on those starting from a native 4k resolution or on big screens imho, that's why they are doing it mostly on higher res monitors

It's part of that

Looks like Squirrel got access to it for a first look

Thanks. You can find it on here too https://flightsim.to/file/3924/touristflight-special-lord-of-the-ring

I am certainly looking forward to the CRJ and i will buy it, but not right now, since i am sure for a week or so avsim will be filled with drama and bug fixes needed with it.

I don't think i can take 40 minutes of Austin talking, can you guys give me a short recap if there is something actually concrete and not something genering? As for mobile/desktop, we know that mobile brings in money. When they say they will be unified, i assume it will mean that features will first arrive for mobile and then they will be ported over to the desktop version.

Volumetric for once, so not 2d. I am pretty happy with what DCS achieved for smoke related effects so i hope it's something similar. I haven't checked in game yet but i will soon-ish.

Mhm, i was expecting them to look a bit more detailed. Does the lenght changes? Or they are always that "short"?

I'll just point out Italy showed up in the wish list and there is a 2022-23 target on it

Here you go, i think it's this one https://imgur.com/a/wKBscuc

Does it have an ICAO code, Gary? Or can you give us the coordinates (since i can just copy paste them in the sim and spawn there)

I was under the impression that one cannot sell stuff made with the assets Asobo created, but maybe i am wrong? After all aren't payware third parties addons providing only things developed by them? 3d models, textures etc etc ?
