The common topic with previews, advertising, user video opinions ect.

What you think about this, same old thing as in all former FS versions : fly at treetop height over a city and your gentle sightseeing Cap 10 turns into a jet fighter blasting ahead at 900 knots. https://youtu.be/39wtkYlU2Ck?t=246

Looks a bit worrying and suspicious to me...

Wonder if Kim Jung Un will accuse the Asobo team of being spies?

One of the more visually stunning Youtuber videos I've seen posted so-far (though far from a rare experience with this sim):

I keep waiting for one of these Youtubers to show what it's like flying into Hurricane Isaias. Hurricane-hunting is amazing in this sim!

**mike_cyul** · July 31st, 2020, 15:38

It's a very, very beautiful sim. Astonishing. Just tried a flight in live weather from Nassau to see what the hurricane is like - and as you exit a break in the clouds into sunshine - well, I'll let the YouTubers show you what can be there. Wow.

Nice cockpit views with weather and ground maps.

It is highly unspectacular and even disrespectful. How could they put this in and leave Fly-By out !??..

Quite appalling this video. I'd rather jumped out without a parachute than put this misery on line.

Thanks anyway, Yoyo.

The YouTube comments are quite funny...

Has anyone seen a video of the greater Phoenix, AZ area?

**Bomber_12th** · August 2nd, 2020, 16:19

The greater Phoenix area is one that is covered by Bing photogrammetry, so it is among the highest-resolution and most detailed areas in the sim (which includes Phoenix and all of the communities around it, like Peoria, Anthem, Carefree, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and San Tan Valley).

As is well known, the simulator uses Bing Maps for the photo scenery, so if anyone wants to check what the quality of their area may be in the sim, you can preview it by checking out the area in Bing Maps. Outside of photogrammetry coverage, Azure AI determines from the photo scenery what buildings (including shape/height/colors) and plant life should be depicted in the sim. Among the monthly updates that will be provided by Microsoft following release, there will be updates to the photo scenery whenever there are updates put into Bing Maps.

I'm sure my house will be completely fubar in this sim, simply due to all of the trees around and over it. Having said that, I'm not complaining, as based on the videos I've seen it looks quite amazing out of the box and will only look better with add on scenery (i.e., add on scenery won't have the post apocalyptic look at ground level).
