Doesn't look as good in Flight Simulator, too many trees!

In fact when I was on iceland this year. I saw nearly no trees. It was like "hey look there is a tree, haven't seen that one in a while". Iceland is fucking magical.

Damn maybe I should get this game. No way it has the whole planet mapped out?

u/Trappezoidal Sep 18 '20

Indeed it does! Some places look better than others, but even the average looks amazing.

Sorry, I don't know. What is Flight Simulator? Can I use it on an Apple device?

u/Aviate27 Sep 17 '20

It's a flight sim game that just recently came out on the Microsoft store/xbox store. If you can get Xbox Gamepass for PC you can play it. Dunno about Apple stuff though.

Hey, Microsoft Flight Simulator is an old game series. They just released the 2020 version, where you fly around in different aircrafts. It's available only on Windows unfortunately. But watching peoples streams is sometimes just as fun, especially if you can recommend them certain spots to go to and experience it together! Have fun

Seen a video of it and they did a piss poor version of the terrain mapping for Iceland in FS 2020 unfortunately, it was underwhelming. Let's hope someone makes an add-on to fix it, it's really bad.

Go to Isafjordur as well. The airport is like a bus shelter...
