That’s a shame, I feel like it’s a giant missed opportunity by not having procedural gen since these missions do look like a lot of fun, and it’s shame that they are just going to be one and done and we will need to wait for the content to be drip fed to us over the next several years.
Furthermore if you read this description, it doesn’t sound like it would just be 2-3 missions.
Anyone who claims to know what is or isn’t coming is just making things up. It’s best to wait for more information from MS/Asobo. Clearly, according to them this is not the same as old scenarios and single missions, but people have a tendency to just make up thing as they go and deliver them as facts.
The fact is we don’t know the details yet. Let’s wait and see
At first glance it looks like the Sierra Nevadas in California. I thought it was Mt Whitney with all the jagged peaks. Possibly Lone Pine Peak. But with all those green pine trees it may be further north in the hemisphere. Maybe the Sawback Range in Alberta Canada.
Thanks for the tips. I also think it’s further north. Canada is possible. I’ve already searched Alberta, but not very thorougly I have to admit. I don’t think its Mt Whitney either. This one is difficult because it might look very different in Bing Maps due to poor DEM and imagery. And there are many places in the world that look similar.
I’m curious about the choice of DC designs for the A10 because graphically all their planes are really bellow the standard for default planes. Are they magically going to improve in graphics and textures or are we going to get a cartoonish cockpit mixed with all the good ones?
I like DC Designs and I’ve always supported their work. Whilst I’d agree their 3D modelling is sometimes the weakest link in what they do they have improved noticeably in recent times. They seem to be going back and improving most of their older stuff to bring it up to standard. Which is much appreciated and something you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a developer.
What I have far more of an issue with as far as the A-10 is concerned is the sim not being allowed to show the one and only thing the plane is famous for. So whats the point in it?
Great screen shots. This one has caught my eye. Looks like 3d tessellation on the ground there. If we get that everywhere the environment really will look great up close and far better than the current version.
Tesselation will be present everywhere, but bad/cloudy imagery will still spoil the scenery as a whole. I hope they’ve improved the textures they use for places where imagery is bad. 2020 looks awesome, but the default textures are subpar.
