eh ?

Hope he makes a followup showcasing those too

Yea, he's missing the world updates. London and Cologne are very well detailed in those. Microsoft should really push at least the photogrametry to the base game because probably a lot of people are missing out on those.

i assume the title did not include basegame when you made this comment then?

From what he showed it looked like the game when it first launched. We've had several world updates since then that dramatically improve the visual quality and are basically a must.

Seeing as how the title says base game im guessing a non based game video is on its way

Cologne

Would love to see another video of this with photogrammetry on

“How realistic is the base game”. I think the video detailed exactly what the title said it would- the base game

@@AirSpanii He changed the title after people pointed this out

I thought he was going to mention World Updates when he mentioned Italy but nope. I swear London in my game looked much better than this, but I cant blame Philip for that since the game is really weird and often doesn't work in ways you expect a modern game to work

@@duskobjelajac5122 until a few weeks ago I thought World updates were automatically installed, because of the name "world update", yaknow.

so much so, that some guy mad a mod to use google maps data, and it improved it

I wish the same effort could go to make a decent flight model that comes close to X- Plane

@@NonsensicalSpudz taking a existing game and modding it is not even close to making a entire game

@@NicOz42 Turns out that Xplane 12's flight model is not as good as MSFS, there are a bunch of youtube videos comparing them and xplane no longer has the edge on the actual flight model anymore. 🙃

@@jamesd6952 not true. Just do aerobatics in both sims and you'll see a clear winner. Even spins are bad in MSFS.

@@2kliksphilip Indeed love that.

thats the point. its just eye candy

well... you are missing out, if you had tried fs2020 with a virtual reality headset and a flight stick on a decent pc i can guarantee that you would no longer not care about flying! i am no flight junkie but i do have a thing for simulators... and fs2020 is special. my favorite way of introducing people to VR for the first time is with fs2020, i give them an easy plane to fly like the cessna, i start them off in the air in a place they know well, i set it to dusk or dawn, with heavy rain and scattered fog, preferably near the coast as the low sun reflecting of the water makes for some breathtaking views if you dont get lost in the fog... then their challenge is to stay alive and find the local airport to land. judging by the amount of wows, oh my gods and the occasional very intense grunting sounds followed by a couple very loud OH SHITS and then can i try agains... people are into it. i often find myself completely loosing track of place and time, once i was just gonna do a quick test of a new plane (the grumman goose), i ended up flying clear across Iceland and back enjoying the heck out of the views, along the way i did notice a smoky smell and actually heard a siren at one time... but didnt think much of it, i was busy. when i finally landed back in Reykjavik and took my headset off there was flashing blue lights lighting up my entire apartment, i looked out the window and saw cop cars and firetrucks everywhere, and a 3 story warehouse building on fire with the roof caving in maybe 250-350 feet away, turns out i was in the closest apartment that had not been evacuated... fs2020 in VR is VERY immersive! 👀

@@ralphbooger4756 wow seems cool, what vr headset do you use ?

@@Issoulachancla54 odyssey plus, rift s, reverb g2... there are better headsets but the g2 is probably the best for the price, the more resolution the more it takes to run it. if you are considering one do make sure its ipd range matches yours... (distanse between your eyes) or it can be a very uncomfortable experience.

@@ralphbooger4756 I'm still waiting for a flight simulator with a stunning graphics in VR and a very high frame rate. Moreover more realism in the communications and no inoperative button inside the cockpit. This 2020, I must admit, it's something new compared to the previous versions but still .....

No, it won't change much. For that you'd need something like what Google demonstrated - making 3D cities from street view imagery.

@@rkan2 that is literally what flight simulator does. but it uses bing maps. which has allot less data then google earth. but it does have locations photographed by aircraft instead of satellite. so cities which have aircraft photography in bing maps, look the best in flight simulator. just fly over Seattle for a good example. i believe its currently the most detailed city in the Database.

he hasn't installed any of the world updates lol most of the stuff in this video is years out of date.

Tbh I don't think it is that amazing at the end. All this data was available and doable 10 yeara ago - someone just had to put the monry and work in to it. Don't get me wrong - I'm grateful they did. However all that previous sims were really missing was trees and houses added on top of their 2D satellite imagery , perhaps with a bit of blending. Photorealistic addons for whole countries were already a thing 15 years back too - though mostly manual work.

@@rkan2 Streaming ortho is a huge achievement in itsell

@@mhs7424 Meh, not really... The licensing maybe, but Google Earth did it like 15 years ago basically. Tileproxy did it also 15 years ago for Fllight Simulator X.

Truth

And what does Valve have to do with any of this?

like a new mix of 2d and 3d

"For years" is definitely an understatement. I don't think the map will ever be truly "done". I'd be surprised if they built all the major cities of every country in less than a decade, but to build the entire Earth with the level of detail they've achieved so far would literally take centuries.

@@Dan0RG it will be worth the wait, no matter how long it might be. Probably one of the only forms of the actual full detailed earth all together virtually

To be honest this video does quite the contrary. Mfs has some qualities. But for exploring in 3d a city. You litterally just get a better experience opening google earth.

@@orchidahussuhadihcro9862 if you ignore how much better he says Flight Sim is than google earth, maybe. If you don't read the comments about there being update packs to the game that include a 3D scanned London and other cities, then maayyyybe. But considering all that, MS Flight Sim looks sick. Also I am vaguely interested in the flying too, so that's even more appeal.

@@Ocarina654 The world updates actually killed my interest. I live in France, and after the french world update, the landmarks were still messy all over the place. Even Paris is failed, and let's not even talk about its suburbs. What looks great in real life, doesn't look anything good in this flight sim. So the contemplation aspect is not very interesting. About the flying, it gets boring pretty fast. It lacks any kind of "fun" stuff to do. It lacks some basic "game" aspects. Even DCS is immensely more engaging and fun as a flight sim.

@@orchidahussuhadihcro9862 hey, fair enough!

​@@Ocarina654 Still sometimes I've found marvelous skylines and good mountain ranges to explore. If you want to try, i recommend you do without paying full price for it. The whole earth rendered in 3d is a bit gimmicky. It doesn't contribute a lot in the pleasure you'll take from it in the end.
