Saw this incredible feature on someone else’s screenshot and had to visit it myself.
Took off from Atar international Airport GQPA and flew roughty ~100nm out on a 73deg bearing.
The feature was stunning as expected but the otherworldly landscape I flew over to get there was just as breathtaking.
I just stay away from cities, nothing interesting to see there except urban sprawl, low framerates and some blink and you miss it models of buildings.
The phenomenal thing about this sim to me is the ability to just fly anywhere and marvel at the terrain. There are some jaw dropping vistas out there to find, and the sim does an amazing job of really selling it with the visuals.
I can’t wait to see where Asobo go with this one, improved mesh resolution and shallow water masks everywhere would be fantastic.
Plenty great cities to explore, at low altitude, low speed.
I’ll certainly be visiting they eye of the Sahara as well, looks awesome! Although I generally don’t fly higher than 2K ft over above terrain except to fly over a mountain Got to make an exception and climb climb climb.
I crossed the Alps today which are a bit of a mess with bad terrain meshes and alternating seasonal ground textures.
