I flew around my house in the sim and most of the trees in my neighborhood were like pine trees. There's only a couple of those in my neighborhood and one of them was blown down by the Derecho that came through last week. Most of the trees around here are deciduous. Is that something we can adjust, is it locked in based geographic data, or is it just because my graphics are set to medium it goes with one tree type to make it easier on the system?
Also, the island in the lake by my house is missing, lol. Having said that, it was easy to navigate VFR based on the generated terrain, which was awesome. It even had my "house" in the sim.
I may try to run it with higher graphics settings when I get home from work tonight. I'm definitely going to be building a new PC for this later in the year so I can push all of the sliders/settings up. I'm also going to have to read the post on getting all of my views set up correctly. The default camera work was a pain.
I take it doors on the planes don't open? Also, how is there no parking brake release in the cockpit (The X-Cub)? The program wouldn't recognize my default parking brake set up so I had to change it. I've never flown a tail dragger in RL, but when I landed I have to say it kept me on my toes, figuratively and literally. I like the new flight dynamics.
I also noticed in external view, it didn't look like the X-Cubs rudder moves and the flaps always looked like they were slightly down.
I hope Bing maps gets updated soon, as my home airport KYGY, has changed radically since 2014, with the main runway extension for Boeing and the addition of another flight center and an ANG ramp.
All in all, so far, I think it's kind of amazing.
Ken
