Does anyone know if there are fewer Points of Interest in the standard version of FS2020 than the Deluxe Premier edition? I was not able to find Machu Picchu or the Great Wall of China on my standard edition. I ended up getting the lat and long for each then dropped a light plane right on top, flew all over the place but never found either. I know people with the better versions have found Machu Picchu. My son has the standard version and gets the same results as me.
Thanks
There is no difference in detail between the different versions.
The only one there is the number of planes and airport …
For the rest, the community and other developers will make more and more payware or freeware available …
There is already a lot of free addon available as here for example.
As far as I know, the only differences are planes and “hand-crafted” airports. There are many landmarks that are missing. In my mind it’s a cardinal sin to put a note in the flight loading screen that says to visit Kitty Hawk and then not include the Wright Brothers monument that’s supposed to be there. I’ve downloaded addons for Stonehenge, Mt. Rushmore, and Devil’s Tower. There are probably other spots that have been modeled, but I haven’t checked in a while. Add -13.162829, -72.544956 as a custom waypoint. If Machu Pichu is there, that’s where it should be.
I used your lat and long and it was not there. It just seems weird that they would alter maps for levels of purchase. That seems like a lot of work to me for not a corresponding rate of return. My rig is pretty good-I5 3.70 ghz w/ 32 gigs of high speed mem, NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super and I run with graphics set to Ultra with no problem. I can blame the data I have at this point.
Thanks for the response
There is no change in the level of the map depending on the version … and fortunately.
We have already said this in the last two answers.
Only the number of more realistic planes and airports changes.
For the rest of the settings, I have a 1660 Ti MSI OC +1000 and + 150MHZ in 1080p, 32GB of RAM and I cannot put everything in ultra otherwise, I go below 20 FPS on some demanding scenes with a lot of traffic.
My average on High settings and a few on ULTRA allow me to play between 25/50 FPS in the best conditions.
Machu Pichu is there, well, sort of…
I flew over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and the Arizona Memorial and battleship Missouri were not there. No other ships seen in harbor, either.
There is a very nice addon for Pearl here:
Thank you for that link! The scenery looks fantastic!
Wondering if Hawaii will get the upgraded treatment and attention to detail in World Update 2: USA? Being such a tourist destination I would think so.
