MSFS 2024 Locations that Actually Look Amazing!
After many hours of self-torture flying around the current 2024 landscape, I've starting to identify locations for us to explore that really do look incredible ... maybe even better than 2020. For this trip, we're taking the Cowansim 500E up to Mt. Rinjani in Indonesia.

MSFS 2024 Ground Scenery and Landscape Review

The only thing I was worried about with the 2024 release was what I suspected may be inferior landscape detail vs what we enjoyed in 2020. It appears my concerns were justified ... for now.

    I am very happy to see that MSFS2024 has included loads of helipads. BUT, how is it that MSFS2024 renders helicopters as winged planes to other online players. This has to be the biggest immersion killer in both MSFS2020 and 2024.

    I’m having the same experience you are. Trim doesn’t work on H125, head tracking is now working. I saw somewhere that they acquired We Love VFR and incorporated it into 2024, so the radio towers should look good. I still have 2020 installed but so far 2024 looks great overall and I love the new trees and textures.

    Strangely enough, this photogrammetry looks marginally better than what I'm used to in FS2020. I never thought photogrammetry held up well at any distance closer than a few thousand feet. Is there some kind of trick to fixing up photogrammetry in 2020 that I'm just not aware of?

    • @MSFSFlightPlans
      @MSFSFlightPlans 43 минуты назад

      There are definitely tiers of quality for PG. Some cities look unbelievably good, like San Fran, while others look very bad (many parts of London before the most recent update). What 2024 now has is somewhere in the middle, which is all fine and dandy, but I expected cities to look at least as good as they did in 2020, not worse.

    Hype H160 works fine in fs20 in Msfs24 it’s all over the place. Bounces around and when you press certainty buttons the whole sim seems to have a nervous breakdown. Hopefully any issues will be sorted after a couple of weeks/months. The stock 125 is fine.

    What happened to all the much improved high res ortho imagery, no sign of it. And MFS2020 was supposed to get updated with that too once 2024 was released, no sign of it, There was supposed to be new photogrammetry and improved photogrammetry cities like Miami etc, no sign of them. Check the trailers of ground scenery against what is offered in 2024, no comparison. Indeed the ground scenery looks worse in 2024 than 2020 in many cases. BTW the autogen buildings are also supposed to be getting makeover according to Jorg since they no longer partner with Blackshark, but I won't hold my breath. If I had believed the hype and bought this I would have requested a refund. Truly hope it can improve a lot with some qick patches because I want to play the flight sim in the trailers.

      Yeah, you nalied how I feel about this. Trust and integrity is a really big deal for me. This whole thing feels like an orchestrated attempt to pitch something that never existed. But regardless of how disgusted I am about all that, 2020 is as good as it will ever be at this point, and 2024 is as bad as it will ever be. I've decided to just take my beatings for now and hope the next courtesan won't be so abusive to my sensibilities.

    Great video, Nick. I’m glad you’re going to stay exclusively with 2024 moving forward. I rely on creators like you to show us places we’ve missed. I’m just getting started with 2024. I’m still trying to learn the new keyboard shortcuts 😂. It’ll take me 3 months just to try all the new aircraft. My previous marketplace aircraft loaded in yesterday. Having been through the flight simulators of the last 40 years, the new one always has glitches. I’ve seen it in the business and technology world every time there is an upgrade or when companies move to new platform. It goes with the territory.

    What a disapointing load of garbage ! If we wanted to look at Bambi in a wood full of flowers we'd look at the Disney cartoon. This iteration of the 'newest and best' version of what has devolved into a Game seems to be more Cartoon like. The former detailed and high definition graphical elements having most definitely been downgraded. These issues are nothing to do with poor streaming and apart from the obvious disaster of the opening day which is most likely owing to the people at Asobo hurrying to foist an unfinished product on it's loyal customers. One more word,...........REFUND !

      Yep, yep, yep ... I hear you and I feel you. All kinds of things built into this that are obviously designed to attract gamers more than simmers, but here's where I'm at on that (and don't really have any other options for places to be). This whole thing will either turn into a stupid safari and photoshoot-centric experience, thus killing simming forever for MSFT in which case someone else will eventually occupy the space. Or, the old guard will be able to continue building on this just like they had to with 2020 and, if everything goes well, in four year's time we'll have something significantly better than where 2020 is now after the same evolutionary period. The sucky part is what happens between now and then.

  • @oohan101

    Maybe those "Swirls" on the glass from the exterior is a tad on the "much" side, but honestly - i fucking celebrate developers who include glass scratches and imperfections. Nothing is quite as boring as pure, clean glass in a Flight sim that looks as if it's not even there; like the windshield doesnt even exist. DCS nails this. Glass is very, very rarely perfect and pristine; especially in aviation. You will always see imperfections and I think Cowansim did a fantastic job here. They likely based it off an existing bird too - so they just replicated everything, right down to the last scratch.

    • @MSFSFlightPlans
      @MSFSFlightPlans 6 часов назад

      Oh yeah, I hear you. Crystal clear glass would be tough to find IRL, but man you should've seen how bad it was when the sun was at a lower angle. And it didn't even look lifelike for what it was ... really pixilated and thick, very hard to see through.

    • @chesterbeals116
      @chesterbeals116 3 часа назад

      Agreed. Plexiglass canopies are atrociously imperfect, even on new aircraft. It's not that big of a deal in real life because when you're looking through the canopy, your eyes are focusing at "infinity" at the ground, the horizon, etc., and you're looking right through the scratches, your brain barely registering them. Unfortunately that doesn't work the same way in a sim where everything is at the same depth of field. I wonder if VR would reduce this effect...?

Have been testing Burning Blue Design airports in and around the UK and unlike before, you can really investigate and take in those locations on foot. Definitely adds an extra layer of exploration.

      Yeah, if you don't have a reason to be flying in 2024 at this point ... I wouldn't. So far, it is just barely functional and the scenery, as you have seen, is abysmal. I don't know what some of these other guys are talking about who are just raving about how amazing everything looks. Maybe they just never looked out the window in 2020. There are a couple of bright spots, however. I've noticed most of the terrain stretching has disappeared and something about the AI has actually made it look like real rocks and cliffs. The default buildings look much better, and the lighting and weather is also an upgrade. Walking around on the ground is fun and novel, but this is a dang flight simulator ... how often are we going to be strolling around on the ground?

      @@MSFSFlightPlans You know, it's an interesting point that could be argued. "Realism" CAN be a pain TBH. When Mr D is prepping to leave, I walk around with him and he goes through the whole procedure -- checking oil levels, integrity of the ship, lock wire and coupling paint markers intact, all links tight and functional, etc. In fact I just watched a video today of an R44 trying to take off whose pilot didn't do a walk around -- not only was the helicopter strapped down, he tried to lift it and couldn't so he FORCED it, broke the strap, and crashed. So it's definitely a thing. But the thing is if you're going to put it in the sim as "procedure" then you have to throw some "easter eggs" in there for the player to "catch" and correct, otherwise it becomes just as meaningless a procedure as testing the console idiot lights that NEVER malfunction. There has to be SOME time when they do so you can at least call for repair or something. One time with Mr D we spooled up to go do a job and his generator light came on. He wisely chose to scuttle the mission -- it turned out there was a malfunction with an engine compartment switchbox that did not switch off the starter -- he would have burned it out and possibly started a fire if he'd ignored it and just went on with the warning light on. Those things are serious and shouldn't be ignored, but they NEVER go off in the sim unless you specifically tell it to malfunction within a certain amount of time, which isn't really the way things happen. You SHOULD be forced to flame out and auto rotate on occasion. Those things DO happen. If they're going to put the "walk around" in the sim, then man, make it meaningful so it actually teaches you something.

      Not only that, but don't tell me you haven't had at least one innocent fantasy about Mr. D becoming incapacitated and you needing to take the controls. You gotta be ready for that kind of thing, right?

      Thank you, will do! I'm making a big list for 2024. Please let me know if you come across anything else worthy of examination.

      I’ve not used the new sim yet, but places that could be good are Cuillin Hills in the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Mount St Helens in Washington - it’s apparent the side that blew off, also Matterhorn and the Eiger in Switzerland - that’s sure to have helipads nearby. not sure if these will look better or worse in the new sim…

    Helo pilots, scenery flyers could be dissapointed in AI autogen, except in unknown areas. RW pilots should appreciate better model/physics, better airports, signage, and lighting. Better seasons.

  • @DownTheRabbit-Hole

    Oh the irony... it looks like XP 12 close to ground. That Popping is AI autogen. IMO autogen is a immersion breaker and might not improve with upgrades. We'll see.

    2020 is still the champ because I can use it when I want to. I don’t have to sit and wait and hope to get into a server.

    AI autogen, close to ground, could look artificial in well known areas, perhaps a bit like XP. I expect the airports and taxiing etc to be better. Once at perhaps, 2000 agl the photogrammetry should kick in, and look similar to 2020. This is what happens when you spend resources on fake animals in a fake forest, all AI generated. I expect to see giraffes poking their heads out of FBO's for awhile. Trees on boats. They will fix it eventually. Scud running helos in LA basin could be dissapointed, vs scud runners in Canada where it is all trees etc.

    Sad, sad very disappointing , Will miss your 2020 videos, I thinks there are enough of us that would continue to watch them until 2024 is working as promised, however I think that will be months away.

    AI autogen at ground level or close will replace the Chucky Cheese Trees. You can expect bizarre tree placement, until they roll out MSFS 2028 for $300.

    Someone please take a picture of fake giraffe. I can't wait for fake animals and fake scenery. Who needs to fly? Are there stewardesses in terminals? Do they have mini-skirts? What are their pronouns?

  • @DownTheRabbit-Hole

    RW PPL/IGI blah blah. The scenery seems less saturated. A bit more like XP, which I use for instruction. Anyone notice this? Someone please fly the Longitude. I use it exclusively on VATSIM. Is it working? 3 monitors for training? Is multi mon working? Thanks

    I would be interested to see how FS2024 looks with bing maps but without the photogrametry (in big cities)... Just to see if the blacksharkAI autogen has improved.

    • @MSFSFlightPlans
      @MSFSFlightPlans День назад

      Me too. I'm going to check it out tonight. I spent all last night trying to get all gear mapped over. I really hope Little NavMap will integrate soon, so I can see where I'm going on a more macro scale than the Garmins.

    I could feel the disappointment in your voice. I'll be sticking with 2020 for a long time yet (all Ultra settings / 55+fps everywhere and good-looking enough).
