Several things yet to come

Hello. Just want to remind people and myself, or even better, asobo team about several things yet to come:

  1. World update 19 Brazil and surroundings
  2. Sim update 16 (for 2020)
  3. World hub (both sim)
  4. Shared bing maps and new photogrammetry for 2020 and 2024

Yes I know, they’re prioritizing 2024 now. But… I’m sure that several months are just not enough to fix most of 2024 issues. So whether they still have time, or intention to deliver several things above, I’m not sure…

They have there hands more then full on MSFS2024.
I think they will put updates for MSFS2020 on hold for a while. :smiling_face_with_tear:

msfs2020 will never get the "new photogrammetry " and other eye candy features the 2024 version has. They could do it, but not going to . msfs2024 gets all the goodies , that is the selling point for the 2024 version so they not going “enable” it for the old version …

How do you know?
It’s possible some of the improvements are linked to the new engine. But you’re right: they WON’T do it, even if they could. Would completely defeat the point of selling a new product.

Good thing for 2020 users is: World Updates will available for 2020 and 2024, and with the Eastern European WU they already started implementing some new TIN around Dubrovnik for example. So I’m expecting Rio de Janeiro to look really cool after the next WU in both sims.

…there is no new engine … asobo uses the very same ACE engine they used for the 2020version. The biggest change they had to implement is the streaming of most data , compared to 2020 …

Didn’t you know that MSFS 2024 still use same photogrammetry data as 2020?

the base data might be the same , but how A.I applies that data ( better " life like " textures to match the original data ) is different .

Didn’t they enable all of the new DEM and photogrammetry from FS2024 for the entire country of Germany in FS2020?
