What is there in the background of Geiranger? On Google Maps there is only a small creek, but this looks like the Mississippi

These synchronous turning windmills in the video look awful.

So it's $225 for the whole 737 fleet in MSFS and its around $185 for P3D. How the word not allowed does this happen?

Boeing demanding more license fees, maybe?

I already did so. Trained with a friend using P3DV4 PMDG 737-800. At Lufthansa Training Center in a Level D Simulator we where able to do a start up from Cold&Dark, Preflight, EDDM to EDDF and back and set it to Cold&Dark again. Absolutely no problem. Doing this in real life with presure of unpredictable instructions of ATC and so on, it is another challange

Remember just over a year ago, we had a sim to end sim addons. (dreams).

I was hoping for this, too. Of course SOME add-ons will always be needed (Expert aircraft i.e.), but my understanding was that MSFS will implement most of them. Now we have the same situation as for decades 🤬. Peter

Yes, 10 custom cameras per aircraft. I never ran out of cameras so far …

ok, then I do not need CP for my needs in MSFS....

You can save 10 different cameras, which I also do by voice command. This is incredibly convenient, as I can define/adjust and call the cameras without touching a single button.

10 per aircraft? If not, 10 is not much, I need 8 for the 737 alone  (Captain / Captain-Overhead / Captain-TQ / Captain Pedestal  / FO / FO-Overhead / FO-TQ / FO-Pedestal). The FO views are relevant for my training.

I use the MSFS cockpit cameras as shown in the video above. There is really no urgent need for Chaseplane. In addition, I don‘t even need to press buttons for the different cameras, because I use Voice Attack and call the cameras by voice command (i.e. Pilot‘s View, CDU, Overhead Panel etc.). In VR mode (which I exclusively use) voice commands are even more convenient.

Ah ok. Is my understanding correct, that I can save a couple of views in the cockpit (position, angle, zoom etc) and call them by pressen a key? 😮 If that's the case the only advantage of CP for my needs is that I can control how fast the camera is moving to each preset.

ChasePlane is a must for MSFS 2020. I use it for my PMDG-737 in P3D. I set different panel-views to my 10 button mouse. It would be nearly impossible to fly the PMDG without these presets (using Heat-Switch is a no-go at Takeoff or Landing procedures). I'll maybe try MSFS 2020 until CasePlane is working.

That all indicates that MSFS is a TERRAIN-Simulator and not an FLIGHT-Simulator 🙃

It would be very nice. Think about flying a Piper in the Rockies with a 2 mile long cargo train coming round the corner. But  there are some other things to be done first.

I did an 3 hours flight in an 737-800 Level D simulator of Lufthansa last year. The graphic quality was like standard FS 2004. My instructor told me that the new A350 simulators are much better, but I can not tell how they look.

1. Wrong Forum - Of course you will switch to P3D v5 !! 

2. Nobody knows how MSFS 2020  will be - or if it will be at all ! 😉

It will be there for sure with the same questions mankind faced in the past: Intel or AMD, NVidia or AMD, P3D or XP.....

The direction of the shadows (plane and rock) are different. The shadow of the rock is not in line with the sun. But I think this is hard to correct.

All yesterday testers screenshots

 

Love this one because I live in Bavaria. I remember when you had to pay 30,- DM for a couple of POI like this in southern Germany (FS 2000). Now they are standard.

But the Apron surface in not correct. It must be concrete, not gras 🤔

I want my hang glider.  That is the true way to cloud surf, thermal surf, ridgeline surf, etc.

oh yeah that would be great. I loved flying the glider in FSX and a hang glider wuold be even more fantastic.

Load them just like you do any aircraft. Instead of 'flying' you stay on the ground!

🤣 Wouldn't it be cool to get an MSFTCBS (Microsoft Flight Train Car  Boat Simulator) in one product? 😎

I'm not worried at all though as it's still in alpha and the trees will surely be adjusted.

Yes I think so, too. I can imagine that it is hard so set the type of trees automatically. Maybe they have to define areas for the vegetation.

They are placed correctly but they appear to be the wrong type of tree. In the sim they look like conifers, which is surly not typical of Miami.          

I am not sure if these are conifers, but the type seen in the picture is more correct then palm trees in this are. You will find only a few palm trees but a lot of other broadleaf trees.

Yes, the trees are wrong, but it is definitely Miami (see In-game VS Satellite thread).

Yes, it is Miami RWY 27. And the trees are correct (checked with Google Earth)

Nice pics, but Dubai looks not so good. Shadows where no tall buildings are and still doubled shadows.

About networked computers, I hope that Asobo implements another type of networking : connecting tablets including iPads to the computer running the sim, to display some gauges, MCU or datapad. 

I agree. I always use my Tablet and "Virtual CDU" for entering data to the FMC of the PMDG (P3D), that's great.

We will never see any fireballs, explosions, engines falling off and so on. The Aircraft names are copyright and Boeing, Airbus will not allow Asobo to use them if this is simulated. And I remember after 9/11 the damage model was removed from the FS and I think this will stay.

1st) in aviation we speak about runway slope (not undulating). For example you enter the "Slope" into the FMC of an B737 nothing else!

2nd) I had an 3hrs experience in an Full Motion Level D Boeing 737 Simulator at Lufthansa Training Centre and I have seen absolute no Runway Slope. It may be simulated for some difficult Airports but not for the standard ones. 

3rd) When I look at the pictures of Courchevel or Tenzing-Hillary Airport in MSFS2020, I do not understand why we talk about this topic 🤨
