Scenery Progress
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 4:23 pm
Hi All,
Among other things, we've been hard at work on a major scenery overhaul. We're at-least a couple of weeks from releasing this, but we're getting close and I wanted to share.
We're streaming Bing Maps imagery, and combining it with a variety of other data sources. This means no huge download, the scenery loads as you fly. The scenery uses roughly 500 kb/s while flying, but still works pretty decently on a slower internet connection. The current scenery still exists if you'd like to use the sim offline or have data caps.
Best of all, with the new scenery comes the whole world. Fly Europe, Africa, Pacific islands! It's a lot of fun to explore
Without further ado, here are some screenshots
We'll have more screenshots and video as we get closer to launching this.
Thanks,
Dan
