1080p doesn't do justice to these episodes. I really wish they would do these episodes in 4k!

Appreciating the fact that the simulator is still a year out and still being worked on, I was interested to know how Azure AI generates autogen in areas where photogrammetry data is not available. I found that London and Newcastle does not have photogrammetry data in bing map while it is available in google maps. So here is compilation of screenshots I took from b-roll to compare the differences between google, bing and sim. London 1 Bing London 1 Google London 1 MSFS London 2 Bing London 2 Google London 2 MSFS Newcastle 1 Bing Newcastle 1 Google Newcastle 1 MSFS Newcastle 2 Bing Newcastle 2 Google Newcastle 2 MSFS That's all I have. I found it interesting so decided to share it. Feel free to let me know what you guys think.

November 2020? Have they announced the release date?

All these previews are great but I really dislike one thing. 2020 is too far!

these videos are part of feature discovery series videos. This teaser deals with the 1st episode "World". Why would they show a cockpit landing here?

This blows away every simulator that has ever existed! Looking forward to the Weather Discovery video!!

I have been using MSFS since MSFS98 and have had every version since then. I then moved to P3D and eventually settled for X-plane for the past 4 years. I wanted realistic ground textures, autogen, and weather system. It seems like the new MSFS will have that. So happy about it! Just one more thing missing. Realistic AI Traffic & ATC We have had programs that provide good AI Traffic but they don't work well with ATC We also have good ATC programs that don't work with AI Traffic or even if they do, they are extremely bad at it. Please Microsoft, make it happen. Having these two things working together and their ability to integrate the player into its traffic pattern will increase immersion immensely!

Hello every one! I am running Prepar3d v3.1 on pretty much every thing maxed out expect AI traffic. On a typical session I use a number of addons like airport scenery ( I fly to flytampa dubai a lot), REX 4 + soft clouds, Active Sky Next, Ezdok, Trackir, PMDG 777, GSX Ground services. I thought I could run this with reasonable frame rates because I think I have decent computer. Specs. i7 6700k Overclocked to 4.4ghz 16gb ddr4 2666mhz Ram ROG Maximus viii hero Motherboard. 250gb SSD + 1tb HDD Two GTX 980 Ti running in SLI config. Now, I also have a 4k monitor so therefore I have been running all this in 4k resolution so far. On a fully loaded airport with mostly every thing maxed I get between 20 to 30 fps with few drops to about 15 fps. I do love the eye candy but it does start to stutter at times which makes me want to switch to lower resolution. And here lies my question. I get absolutely zero difference in performance when switching to a lower resolution. Frame rates stay exactly the same. I haven't done any tweaks with the cfg file. When I lower the resolution to 1440p in games like GTA V and BF4, my frame rates increase by 20 to 30 fps. But why not in P3D? PS, These are the screen shots I took in game with frame rates. They were VERY unstable. Here is another one just a few miles down. Notice the frame rate drop On this particular approach the frame rates ranged from 20 to 60+.
