Detroit looks fantastic! Their photo scan data must have been during the Grand Prix setup months. Detroit is one of the cities where there is proper 3D photographic data present

GM Tech Center looks impressive as heck, missing the iconic water towers and the design dome is kind of funky. I’m impressed the 3D photographic data extends this far from down town

Complex 3D shapes look odd superimposed on rectangular building models.

Some work needs to be done on parked cars and small trees too. In general though it’s absolutely mind blowing how good the game is. Can’t wait to see what kinds of updates we get moving forward. MSFS gamertag Bandit1489 if anyone wanted to do multiplayer things.

Do they have a real time mode? I think it be pretty sweet if they had a real time mode where they used real time data to determine weather and light conditions. I haven’t played a flight simulator since I was like 10 though...I remember it being awesome back then, I can’t imagine how much better the new one is.

In their defense, you’re not supposed to be buzzing  the buildings so they don't have to hold up to close scrutiny

Yes it does, It’s a super impressive game

Yeah, there’s a live mode for the weather.

I downloaded it last night but haven’t had a chance to play it.

There also is no joystick on my desk, still figuring out which one I want to buy but will play it with KB and Mouse here soon.

Yeah but when things look this good how can you not?

I think there’s even real time air traffic as well.

Yep. real time weather and real time air traffic by default. It’s definitely neat.

Sorry if they don’t want me to be buzzing buildings, they need to add other stuff to keep me occupied. Going Euro Truck Simulator style and have an empire building metagame so I can build my own air fleet and watch it ship people and cargo around the world or something. Otherwise I need my sightseeing (which is quite good compared to anything else ever built).

I’d at least use a controller if you have one around.

I’ve got a couple bluetooth controllers, but my desktop doesn’t have bluetooth on it.  There is a dongle somewhere I’ll have to track down I suppose.
