Some-one correct if I’m wrong would it even be allowed to fly this low over NYC/Manhattan?
Apart from that, I think ASOBO had to make choices in terms of high detail of the scenery and smoothness of while flying.
In order to combine both to the fullest, you’d need at least an i13 CPU, an RTX5090 GPU with 128 GB Vram, 512 GB Ram, Dx16, liquid nitrogen to prevent melting of the rig and ultra highspeed glassfiber.
Those still aren’t even close to pre-reality.
I have flown around NYC a few times and was already pretty impressed.
My bottleneck however ( fps <15) was simply caused by the hardware on my side.
Last time I visited NYC IRL, I saw the city from the observerseat in the cockpit of a 777.
Believe me: even though KJFK is just around the corner, you won’t see the city this close.
To end this reply: I didn’t wrote the above as a ‘rant’ but only wanted to put things in perspective.
