Just wondering, how are you guys getting clean shots… I’m not seeing turn of hud overlay or something similar in options? thx.

You can turn off HUD display from external cam in the options somwhere, but easier way is to use drone camera - there are no HUD overlays in that view by default. You can position it with WSAD keys (fwd,aft, slide left,right) R (move up) F (move down) and numpad arrow keys to turn the camera (up,down,left,right or use Track IR), numpad +,- to zoom.

Took a stroll down memory lane this morning
Football stadium from my last High School Coaching job.
Hurricane Point, one of my old stomping grounds Saddams Mosque in Ramadi seems to have been turned into government housing. Got in my first firefight on this street. None of the skyscrapers exist, it was at that time a crowded souk. Good ol Donkey Island south of Ramadi. Had some fun times around here. Battle of Donkey Island - Wikipedia

Early this morning we had a storm system pass through. I thought it would be fun to see what MSFS made of it. By the time I could sit down at the computer, it was several hours later, and the system had moved off to the South East by about 80 miles. That made it a short hop from KAUS…
This is without a doubt the most realistic representation of clouds that I have seen in a sim. The only negative comment I can make is that there doesn’t seem to be any turbulence when you fly through one.

extremely dumb question, but uh what button(s) do I press to take screenshots? Non-Steam version
Win+print should do the trick.
Edit: it will however capture all screens you have

Wish there was an actual screenshot button, Wright Bros memorial is missing, the mound was there, maybe I wasn’t close enough…
If you are using an nVidia card, you can use the G-Force Experience app to take screenshots. I mapped it to the * key on the number pad and it works just fine.
If only there was still Meigs airfield like in Flight Simulator 5.

Jeez louise! Unbelievable shots guys! The word “photorealistic” comes to mind. Incredible weather effects as @PaulRix already mentioned.

I’m just amazed on how detailed some cities are, while some are not. Going on a off grid vacation tomorrow so had to get my sight seeing in… when I get back maybe I’ll start actually learning something in game. lol

So one weird bug (that’s been around for a long time) is that the winds model seems to be missing from North America. It shows clouds but winds aloft are always 225/3kts. European locations seem to work ok though, with working wind layers.
The cloud being worked out in the cloud is bugged

An interesting ‘feature’ then. I’m sure they will get it fixed though.
I have to admit I was a bit of a skeptic about MSFS 2020 but it really is pretty amazing all things considered. I can hardly wait to try it in VR.

Me too.
I haven’t bought it yet, but I will. Don’t see the point as I only have got a 13” screen, besides my Rift S.
I’m glad that MSFS seems to be a winner. It will do lots of good for our gaming genre.
Me neither.
I’m in no rush, though. The VR update, timed with the G2 release, is sometime next month and that coincides with my available spare time.
And if they manage to squish some bugs in the meantime, I won’t complain. 
REALLY!?! You… Of All People… Mr. Harware.
