Yesterday I did a short hike with my wife in the Alps south of Munich, in the area of Lenggries. We had beautiful blue skies, while Munich was covered in dense fog.
In the evening I fired up MSFS2024 and started a flight in the Cowansim R22 to check the area in the sim with live weather, turning back the clock to 10:00 when we started in the morning. And the experience was just amazing. Snow coverage was accurate, weather was accurate with the fog visible in the north, elevation model and textures were really good, and even the autogen buildings were very close to reality. Steep mountain sides looked extremely good as well, no comparison to MSFS2020.
I remember checking the same area when the latest world update for Germany was released, announced as a preview for the scenery detail in the upcoming new sim. That was quite disappointing, with many north facing slopes covered in shadows. Maybe the 2020 version lacked the AI processing?
I agree that there is still lots to do for MSFS2024, fixing the incredible number of bugs and making the sim stable and usable for everybody. But on my system I have hardly any problems, and this was one of the most immersive flights I ever had in any sim (started with FS2002)!
Hmm I am not replying to this post because I have huge problems with this simulator, to me so far I cannot do anything more advanced with it. I cannot even post anything in forums, just reply to other peoples posts, why?
Here’s my very local to me scenery comparison from western Scotland. It’s just stunning what this sim can render. Bottom one is IRL photo close to same spot-
Actually, not a valid comparison as the view point is just at the top of the hill where as the sim view is likely closer to the hillside drop off. There are connifer trees there. You can see their tops in the real image. You also have to keep in mind that a lot of the terrain is managed forrestry operations so clear cut and regrow, so it will vary from year to year and the dates of satellite imagery.
Here’s a view slightly to the right side of the above one, but just down from the summit that shows the tree density.
A year or so? You must not have read the post I linked to. You only need to spend a few minutes on the forum and make a few posts (such as these) to gain enough trust to create a topic. And frankly, if you DO spend a few minutes reading, there are topics on almost every aspect of FS2020 and FS2024. Try it and you’ll see.
Good idea also to do a few searches before starting a new topic. There are a LOT of threads already out there, and your message/question might find more readers if it is posted in a popular thread rather than a new one that many might just pass over. A suggestion from experience. Welcome aboard!
maybe, I am not made out of time for this sim that hos no manuals, no access to menus as in P3D nothing, I cannot even access my installed FSUIPC to setup my home cockpit, it is hidden somewhere not be found
I am losing interest in the basic sim very fast sadly
a waste of money and nothing works
