As a 30y veteran flight sim user I must say this base product is phenomenal on so many levels. Of course it does not have the depth of Prepar3d in some very basic ways. But the entire scenery engine is nothing short of spectacular…on its own, but also as an initial release. It surely has issues, is clamoring for even more efficiency perhaps thru DX12 we hope. Initially I did not care for elements of the visuals but I’ve come to appreciate what it means to see where you actually are, not an artist’s rendition of where you really are. I did find dialing down gamma (while increasing contrast and brightnest) in NV Control Panel desktop colors useful in reducing some of the haze which impairs depth in the sim and I think it looks much better. What good is all that photoreal imagery when it’s a little too obscured by haze is the question begged. Anyway, awesome work keep it up this product has serious staying power–more so now than any prior version of any desktop sim. Nope, it will not pass the FS Turing Test, but it’s headed in the right direction.
