Flight Simulator [OT] See that mountain over there? You can crash into it!

If those are the major issues, then it’s exactly as I mentioned earlier. These type of things get introduced with every major update. It’s the nature of having 7+ million lines of code (many of which is legacy and Asobo did not write) with many complicated systems working together. I think people overreacted to the fact that it was brought out at the same time as the console release and certain parts of it were needed to get it running on consoles and thought they were intentionally downgrading the experience to make it work on consoles, when these are just bugs.

Anybody got tips on how to take good screenshots in this game?

Use Active Pause, close every assist on the screen and press up to hide the hot bar. I assigned Active Pause to LS + RS to make things easier.

You can also use the drone during Active Pause to try some different angles

I’m loving the game so much that I decided to catalogue every Point of Interest currently available.

There are only:

  • 7 points of interest in South America (2 of which are from French territories);
  • 8 points of interest in Central America (once again, 2 of them are from French territories);
  • 17 points of interest in Africa
  • 3 points of interest in Oceania

If we add every POI from South and Central America, Africa and Oceania… we have an incredible amount of 35!

Meanwhile, in Scotland alone there are 30 POIs.

I’ll say it again we really need some World Updates in the Southern Hemisphere…

Agreed

Saw the map and its HEAVILY skewed to the north lol.

Is it me or are loading times really slow? My experience today has been really bad in that regard.

Brazil and South Korea World Updates are planned for 2022. Italy is currently not in the plans.

We should know what this year’s last WU will be later this month.

Actually Italy is planned too, but these updates will be just spread throughout the whole year. 6 World Updates, 12 months. If nothing will change the plans that will give one update per two months.

Here you go! Asobo hears you :smirk:

Yeah, I phrased my post badly. Italy is listed as “not started” instead of “not planned”, and it’s still scheduled for 2022. Maybe that means Brazil and South Korea are planned for the first half of 2022?

I also doubt Italy will have an exclusive update like Japan and United States. Maybe a Southern Europe update alongside Greece?

Edit: Actually, what seems to be closer? “Planned” or “Not Started”?

I hope Canada is included for a future World Update.

Well, I feel like a moron. I just realized my installation had defaulted to offline mode for some reason. Been playing the game since launch, but wasn’t really happy with the architecture/appearance of some landmarks. Turning on the data streaming fixed the problem completely. Duh.

I hope they bring more airliners models including classics like DC-10, Lockheed L1011 tristar, and one can hope the Concord. I saw a DC10 there, but looks like it is only to explore the interiors. Also hope they expand the liveries marketplace the Xbox as well.

If everything goes according to the plan I’ll publish a nice article regarding Flight Simulator tomorrow.

Those are some screenshots I took while preparing the page:

They don’t look nearly as beautiful as they look on my TV with HDR enabled

There you go: a full list of all the Points of Interest currently available in the game. It was all compiled manually, so if you spot any POI missing please let me know so I can add it to the list!

I hope this can be of use to you :slight_smile:

A Mediterranian Update would be nice, lots of interesting (and diverse) POI with everything from southern Europe, Turkey, Israel to North Africa.
