Filmed that on El Hierro, one of the Canary islands. My setup is a 7700k and a Vega56. -
Anyone catch the leak posted on Reddit earlier?

Could anyone share what I have to search for on that Chinese website to get the videos? I cannot seem to find them. -

I hope you have fun, can't wait to join you in the future. -
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, as you mention the inclusion of a vehicle lead to a lawsuit. I don't think a company like Microsoft would like to anger large companies.

Preview and video coming up on Dutch site!
jelknab replied to Reader's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Short summary, - The ai will try to guess building locations and shapes from satellite imagery in places they dont have 3d scans. popular buildings such as train stations in the Netherlands were hard to recognize. The data is also not always actual, they could not see their hotel in Seattle which opened in 2017. Nature looks very impressive. - They could only try out 3 prop planes. - Icing is simulated. - Aircraft are split up in 100ths of measuring points for which take in account wind and environment for the flight simulation. - Cockpits are modelled using 3d scans or CAD files from the aircraft manufacturer. - You can select current local weather conditions, but also use a slider to go back in time (even years back). - They will use a similar flight dynamics system to x-plane. - Rendering is done locally, scenery data is streamed to client and resolution is depended of connection speed. -The Tweakers crew was not very impressed by the feeling of flight, maneuvering in different situations. - You can navigate the world using a globe when planning flights. You can make flight plans and follow checlists. -
September 12th Update (Prerelease Discussion)
jelknab replied to wesleychang42's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I expected an update earlier, it's almost 12am here and due to work tomorrow I should go to sleep. -
I highly doubt that the game will be entirely streamed from the cloud, mainly because of third party aircraft and scenery possibly not being available that way.

I would love to see an in-sim mod manager menu with ability to subscribe to updates and payware purchasing (equivalent to steam workshop), coming from x-plane, dragging files around and using a text editor to manage scenery is a big hassle.
