Don’t get me wrong. I’ve gone on MANY a rant about problems and deficiencies with MSFS and have voted on the “smooth mountain” issue and REALLY would love to see improvements there. I have had TONS of major frustrations with this software. I have my list of issues I am bewildered with how Asobo can let them persist when the fixes should be so simple. WHY can’t I assign an axis on my hotas to the camera zoom when it works with the mouse scroll wheel? WHY did London look like a Dali painting even after the UK world update. I COULD complain endlessly, there’s no shortage of valid criticisms to be made. My point is NOT to say we shouldn’t ever criticize. My point is the bitter anger over this software not being perfect or at least better than it is a bit much for me much of the time. I just feel we can make these criticisms in the context of the whole picture. Sure, when someone else makes a sim that is better at representing the whole planet or even comes close, then we can go to town with indignant outrage. I mean, if this sim is so bad and flawed, you really should go use one of the other ones out there.
But, yes, more detailed and accurate terrain is certainly high on my list. And don’t get me started on the trees. At least Bijan is helping with his add on, but like is being said here and I do agree to some degree, the trees should be improved by Asobo!!! But I’m not boycotting Bijan’s product because Asobo could do a much better job representing the variety of the world’s trees. And if someone makes an add on that significantly improves the terrain of an area I fly over regularly I have no issues buying it.
But the big picture is I regularly have outstanding experiences flying in this sim. When it’s shining, it’s BRILLIANT. And I guess I personally have recently come to the conclusion >I< should look on the bright side more, because it simply makes life easier and this sim more enjoyable. That’s not to say I won’t be reporting issues and voting on the ones others report, etc.
