It seems that the entire world is modeled. I found Sydney Australia along with VOR's, wpts, beacons etc. So In theory I suppose you could fly almost anywhere on the planet, but you will only be able to find usable runways where the terrain is modeled in detail. Huge potential for add-ons especially with Orbx involvement.

You are right Almdudler. I switched from ultra setting to low and NY is smooth now! My graphics card thanks you! And NY still looks gorgeous!
Had a beautiful flight in the Strike Eagle. Took off from Newark, toured around La Guardia, Manhattan and then curious, I headed north towards Boston.
I spot Cape Cod in the distance. From altitude the Boston airport is identifiable. Down low here, this far north of NY, the terrain is low res and blotchy. However at high altitude it is extremely easy to navigate VFR.
I climb back up to FL380 and wonder if I Nova Scotia is possibly modeled? At Mach 2.4 it is not too long and I spot Canada’s Blue Nose province right where it should be! Then, with the Bay of Fundy off to my left, I overfly Yarmouth then take a heading for Halifax. The Halifax harbor and the cities go by. On to Cape Breton!
Over the causeway, Bras d’ Or Lake and then Sydney. Is Newfoundland in AFFS2?? I see St. Paul Island and then The Rock!
Adjusting my heading slightly north, I overfly Stephenville and aim for Deer Lake. I descend low over the water and do a mach 2 pass down the lake and over the town. Grand Lake with its large distinctive island with steep shore visible off to my right. I overfly Deer lake airport and pop back up to pick up Gros Morne Park. Down through the fjord at a ridiculous speed, then zooming back to altitude and a turn for Gander.
The large lake becomes visible from the distance and I pick up the city and airport. A turn aims me towards St. John’s, but first a slight detour allows me to pick up Catalina where I drop down low and do a roll over the community in honor of an old friend. Back up to altitude and then a turn towards the city of Legends, St. John’s. I spot Bell Isle, overfly the airport, and turn for a pass through the entrance to the harbor and Signal Hill.
Totally lost track of time and had great fun sight seeing. Most of my flight from takeoff had been in full AB. It appears the fuel consumption modeling is most definitely still a WIP. However this sim has so much potential and is so awesome in VR. I am certainly looking forward to the future with this sim!

Might have to check my settings... hmm on Ultra. Buttery smooth most of West coast, will lower later and try NY again!

Thank you for the info!
Cheers

Perhaps is WIP?

What GPU are you using bnlcoops?
Thanks

What a hot rod! When you got to get somewhere quick this is the bird!
Very nice. Love the way the intakes move.
I managed to zoom it up to 105,980' :cool:
Also tried the NY scenery. Think I almost gave my old GTX 670 gpu a heart attack. lol. I am going to need to upgrade soon.

That would appear to be a marker post with a beacon on top. I suspect its meaning is something along the lines of:
DO NOT PARK YOUR F-15E HERE
-
Yes indeed. An AFFS2 chopper and that NY scenery...can't wait.
-
Maybe that is where New York is coming from? Looking good!
-
New York, New York!

I could only dream of a 980Ti! I'm using a GTX 670 in AFFS with CV1 and it is very, very nice. What improvement would I notice going to a 1070? Other than a thinner wallet?

Hi TJP,
Can't answer your question re other a/c but if you are impressed with aerofly fs on a monitor you would be blown away with it in VR using the rift...
Fellow r/l pilot.

According to Wikepedia... At 42.3 billion candela/lumen. the Luxor Sky Beam is the strongest beam of light in the world. I can certainly attest to its strength in Aerofly FS 2. When I tried to fly through the beam of light I bounced off it and crashed.:p It seems to be a solid object. On a similar note, the fountain at Caesars apparently uses heavy water. Very heavy lol.

Thanks a lot bbrz...
I saw a new post in this thread and thought there was new information from the dev's, pics, video, release announcement... alas 'twas you asking about paint...
Patience mode re engaged.
Cheers

I used to get this with an older vid card and it was always corrected by cleaning out the pc/gpu. Dust and heat with that card and certain graphic intensive sims = graphic artifacts. This may or may not be your problem, Im just throwing it out there.

Yes. I also like the reflections as they are.
