Title: Some MSFS SCreenshots taken this morning
Post by: Joe Lavery on August 20, 2020, 08:32:40 AM
Hi all,
Don't worry I don't intend to flood the forum with screenshots, but I thought some of you might like to see some unedited  shots from areas I don't see on the net (so far). I have however reduced the size to 50% becasue they were 4K And HUGE!!!

They show San Diego because my family and I had a fabulous holiday there last year... was it really only that long ago? With the way the world has suffered, it seems aeons ago.
And the second few are from Chicago, Just to show where MS started this journey.  :)

Hope I don't offend anyone, and if the moderators want to remove them I'm perfectly happy with that. 8)

Of course, no problem  :)

I'm off out for Dinner now, I'll shoot some later, do you have a preference where?

The scenery is superb....no question about that for sure.

How do you run it reasonably on 3 screens....with weather.....with AI.....big big question about that.

At your request Jack, please remember that these have been reduced by 50%. They lose some of their brightness in the process.
I've added one at full resolution for you to compare.

The names tell the location:

CYYZ Pearson Runway 25- KLAS Las Vegas Runway 8L- Innsbruck LOWI Runway 08 - YSSY Sydney Runway 34L.

No more I promise... 8)

Thank you
City lighting is very convincing I must say. Probably the best I've seen.

Runway lights are not on par with the rest though(IMHO)
In real life you really have to be in the loc axis to get full intensity, anything less than that lights are dimmer. On LAS2 the lights of the side runway on the left should be barely (if not) visible.
The only sim which modeled that effect was long gone ATP.

My 2c only Guys...based only on these pics

In 4K across 3 screens, you're going to need GTX 1080 TI x 2 or RTX 2080 TI, maybe x 2.  I'm only planning on running HD 1920 X 1080 across 5 displays.
