alancamuk Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 just a thought. with FS2020 scheculed to have accurate airports, grass strips etc. what will happen to current fsx scenery designers? i suppose immediately not a lot as folks will stick with fsx, whilst moving to 2020, but ultimately more and more will port across. As it uses google maps, there is not a lot of room for the scenenry packs from the likes of scotflight etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 While the scenery in the new sim will be far better by default than previous sim defaults, not all airports, cities and other points of interest will be highly detailed. So there will still be a place for scenery designers to offer add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 As it uses google maps... Thought they were using Bing maps because Microsoft. I'm assuming the off-line mode would be where ORBX and others will produce replacements.

Yes, it does use Bing maps. However, not all places or airports are modelled to the same level. Some cities will be covered by photogrammetry, but many won’t. So even when using the steaming data, there will likely be opportunities for add-on developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
