Ughhh! Do we have to say this every week?
1. FSX cherry-picks the scenery they show.
2. FSX does mountain very well, I will give them that.
3. Most of the stuff is aftermarket 3rd party pay-ware.
4. They usually only put decent detail around landmarks and airports. Everything else looks the same.
5. Does earth have 2 suns? Because Sat photos have shadows from buildings and mountains that cannot move because they are part of the texture.
6. Still looks like crap up close, you have to stay in the "sweet spot" which is usually a few thousand feet to get the "good views".
7. Satellite images don't really work for WWII sims due to all the overpasses, 8 lane highways, modern buildings and landscapes, etc... Removing them would have to be done by hand, and that would take a hell of a long time.
See you all in the next exact same thread in 10-20 days.
