Excellent thread, thanks for doing this. I often go and explore as much as possible when a new WU comes out but I haven’t done as much recently.
Some of the content coming out now is phenomenal, I spent quite a while in Bradford and Leeds today for example, not a sentence I imagined myself ever saying! It’s good to see the suburbs being modelled rather than just stopping at the centres of towns and cities and really brings the areas to life. I used to spend most of my flying time in interesting topographic areas and just flying briefly over the built environment but that’s changing now.
I’m the sort of person that used to like flying in the same familiar areas of the world. But then I started getting bored and when the Las Vegas City Update came out not that long ago, and other City updates since, I fell in love with exploring new places that had high detailed PG. Found it really hard to go back to flying in non PG areas. And thus my journey began of searching for the best PG areas in the sim. Thought I’d create this topic so that others would be able to fly in the areas I discovered as well as adding their own areas. There have been so many brilliant suggestions since I started this Topic and I’ve discovered new places that I’d have never flown in before. Absolutely loving this sim now, not that I wasn’t before lol. It would be amazing if the whole world was PG as it easily could be nowadays. As @Baracus250 said in a previous post… talking about the PG in Zagreb, Croatia
Yeah they are fantastic. But I was more than a little surprised last week to bump into this freeware mod that was available 3 YEARS ago, that possibly looks even better (in the screenshots at least)!
I think you mean Murcia, Spain. That’s the one I’ve just been checking out. It’s a nice little place, shame the PG area is so small or this would get a 9/10 or even 10/10.
@AirRhodesia Wow! That is a lot of hard drive space! I was hoping it was less. Do you (or does anyone) know how many TIN cities we have in FS20? I noticed the sales pitch for FS24 mentioned 500 TIN cities and I think that must be a lot more than what we have now but Im not at all sure.
Yes it certainly is! Running out of space fast! looks like I’ll have to start using my backup HDD which is 8TB. Only got 5TB left on that lol. Think I just need to get a new PC soon as I know my current one is going to struggle with FS2024 on any settings above lowest
I’m not sure how many TIN cities we have in FS2020. I think there’s quite a few that aren’t mentioned so can only guess how many, but I would think FS2024’s 500 TIN cities would be a lot more then we currently have.
Not long now though till we find out which TIN cities we’re going to get in FS2024
Seb said in the latest Dev Q and A that PG regions will be identifiable from the flight planner map in FS24 which is a very welcome change from how it is now. Should make it much easier to identify if an airport is in PG.
That’s brilliant. Will make life in FS24 much easier. I watched most of the latest Dev Q & A live but missed that bit… probably letting the dog out to do her business haha
haha
