One of the biggest improvements (I've jumped from SU2 to SU3 today) is the clarity - both the outside world as my airplanes seem more real than ever before - quite outstanding!

Given the fact that this would translate to another 'intelligent' layer (snow, standing water etc.) on top of the already new 'intelligent' terrain layer, I'm quite skeptical this will be implemented in the sim on day 1. I guess it would be possible but also very heavy on our systems. The same applies to running water in rivers and streams - a very welcome improvement if implemented but I'm afraid it's just too early. BTW rivers already needed some TLC in 2020 so I hope that the developers at least tweaked them a little bit in 2024...

The alcohol consumption in France is similar to the USA or indeed most countries in Europe nowadays - so this argument won't stand haha. Source is apparently the following article by Charlie Hall of Polygon: https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/30/20885197/microsoft-flight-simulator-bing-maps-hands-on-demo It dates from September 30th 2019 when Asobo's (core) team for MsFs was undoubtedly much smaller. I presume they might have actively sourced for beginning pilots in order to help them develop the sim. This might explain the almost impossible high percentage of 60%.
