This is a great opportunity to bring flight simulation to a level even better than the current MS/Asobo fiasco. Let’s hope Lockheed (P3D) and Laminar Research (X-Plane) are looking at this; perhaps combining this and other engines with google maps. I personally cannot believe anything MS/Asobo says anymore.

Laminar / Austin Said ist clearly last week during x-plane new generation talk, he does not like the MS streaming approach. So for x-plane you will not get any google streaming. They will improve scenery but not with streaming. Sorry.
In terms of flying the scenery is not top priority. Nice to look but not mandatory.
There is no cool down.
This game is broken and full of bugs since SU5!
I didnt play it since than.
Its a shame!!!

I actually agree with Austin on this one. It sucks to live at the mercy of a company pulling the plug on you one day, like what we just experienced july 27th and a decade ago.
I agree, I feel betrayed. Once trust is lost it is hard to get it back…
And still No communication from ASOBO/Microsoft, they are taking us for granted

Or maybe another Indie studio jumps in and makes a flight sim.
Otoh if thing go south really bad I’ll play something else, I still hope that someone makes a new WW2 U-Boat/submarine sim some day like the Silent Hunter 3/4 series was back in the day.
There are still people out there who play the old Silent Hunter 3 and there’s a metric boat load of mods for it (pun intended). It’s actually quite intense to avoid getting depth charged the living snot out of by these pesky Royal Navy convoy escorts, tbh.
Then there’s still IL2, DCS and the little bit older Rise of Flight for those who want to fly and ofc XP11 and P3D themselves.
ETS2 and ATS are also quite fun, I really do like my International Lonestar, tbh. It’s ugly asf but somehow it grew on me.
They have look for u boat on steam with destroyer due out in 2022

Interesting, I’ll take a look.
It’s early access or was but works great with scope to grow has s as management level to it as well.
But yes nothing will ever match the original silent service.

Oh yes, Silent Service, the golden age of games.

Happens usually when flying over similarly coloured terrain. It’s the light reflected from the ground that influences the colouring under the aircraft. Its been this way since alpha.
Is this the UK? If yes, this appears to be a bug. Try France and see of you get the same results.
Île des Vannes near Paris, France, over the Seine River.

Settings : Ultra all around at 1080p.
PG On.
Is is just me?
Are the graphics like they used to be?
The water on the Seine river does not look right, does it?
Or is this perfectly normal? Am not so sure.
Looks like the water masking has been increased and includes rivers now.
Other simulators and games must be very pleased right now, now that all the people Microsobo let down are back again.

I would never have guessed this is Paris. And I lived there for a while.

Does not look quite like the promotional videos, but maybe it’s just me.
Money back? Legal action? If i buy a car with 150hp and after a year a update made this a 80hp car…that’s illegal…?
