No CTDs downloading, but… just try to count how many clicks have we to do to set it up and return to the main screen? And 3 or 4 of them just to start downloading?

If you like that feeling, I recommend VR!
(Unless you are already flying VR. Then you know :blush:)

I really wish to have VR but I have issues with my eyes! I’ll just have to love what we have in this. :smiley:

Ohhh, the agony of the wait :wink: :joy:

Will this come to 2020, or has that sim been abandoned by Asobo/MS after less than six years into a promised 10 year life cycle?

The guided tours are fantastic. I would love more of these for future world updates. One of the joys of this game for me is exploration, and being able to learn about what I’m seeing is the cherry on top. Thanks for making them.

This world update is simply AMAZING! The quality of both the mesh and textures are next level. Please LOTS more of this in the future. THIS is what makes 2024 shine.

and a +1 on the guided tours. Great idea. I wouldn’t mind them being longer, or maybe even the blueprint for future multi-legged bush trips.

I believe 2020 simply doesn’t allow for this new terrain TIN. It’s one of the new features of the 2024 engine.

The handcrafted KJAC is great:

A simply incredible WU that showcases the United States most iconic national parks in breathtaking beauty.

Is Mount Rainier National Park included? I seem to recall seeing it noted in the preview video but did not see it listed in the Marketplace description.

That did it, thanks.

As an aside, anyone know where those Colorado sand dunes from the video are located? Perfect spot for some Crosskart action.
