Thanks Robert,
That's a great article on all the things they have cooking behind the scenes there to look forward to. Now if they could only stop breaking things as they add new stuff (but that often can happen).
I tried the night flying last night to check it out. I found that it looks great for a single screen, but when stretched to wide angle for a 3-screen setup it gets big and blurry without some additional adjustments they need to allow for that option. This is a complaint many multi-monitor simmers have already made, so I'm sure it will eventually be on their list. For now I put up with the annoying large fuzzy lighting at night, but the rest of the sim is acceptable.
Another interesting thing I noticed was when I flew over downtown Mpls. at night, it appears that all the photoreal buildings that I recognize are gone and replaced by buildings that light up. I'm guessing that only addon scenery for such areas will provide both night and daytime versions of real world buildings.
Still the spectacular night view flying low over the city is the best simulation I've seen. Now if I can only get that quality over my 3 screens and the bugs worked out and a better selection of aircraft, I won't see a need to go back to the other sims for anything. Additionally, it looks like there's already good information for scenery development available so when I'm ready to tackle that to tailor scenes to our specific needs like I did for our Adventure Packs and Econ-2018 Juneau Group-2 Flights, it might even be easier than the outdated tools available for FSX/P3D.
I like what I see coming, but like the rest of the sim community, I feel it can't get here fast enough.
