    Default Scenery Accuracy...

    I have wondered how accurate the scenery is in MS Flight and I just landed at Kahului airport on Maui...I set the view to overhead and took a screenshot then I went to the same place in Google Map on my iPad and took another screenshot. here they are for comparison:-





    I am very impressed with the accuracy

    The Google shot has much more AI traffic.

    Of course. Mother Nature had the traffic sliders wide open.

    Well, actually the Google shot has NO AI traffic. At least I hope it's not AI. — Bob

    That might be difficult as MS Flight is at present, only in the Hawaian Islands but I look forward keenly to Alaska

    Flight games are created from actual maps right? What were you expecting to see?

    Looking at the comparison, I was actually a bit disappointed with the lack of detail.

    I agree. Looks weak if u ask me. Have a look at bluesky sceneries if u want "as real as it gets". Flight has an extremely long way to go in the realism department.
