\u201cThe world, especially the Big Data world, between Microsoft Flight Simulator <\/em>(2020) and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024<\/em> will be shared,\u201d explains Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann. \u201cWe are not going to have two different digital twins \u2014 cities like London are going to be shared, POIs are shared, the height field (DEM) and aerials are all shared. What\u2019s different in MSFS 2024<\/em> is we have optimized how the data is brought to the player. So, there will be a lot more in the Cloud, which allows us to do more. Instead of 23 species of trees, we now have something like 200. And ultimately with that it allows you to be a lot more accurate. There will still be trees in both worlds, but one will be a little bit more generic and the other more sophisticated, but the worlds will be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n Sophisticated is a key word when it comes to describing what\u2019s involved in the latest World Update XVII for Microsoft Flight Simulator<\/em>. From utilizing improved cameras to more accurate levels of data, the whole project behind this update is driven by utilizing the latest tech which wasn\u2019t available the first time these regions were mapped. It\u2019s not just that this update has been long requested by fans, but it has been identified by the flight sim team as a project they\u2019ve wanted to tackle for a while.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had photogrammetry (for the regions), but it didn\u2019t look particularly good. And I think that\u2019s what people saw, right? Sure, the city was there, but it was dark, the building shadows were way too black, and there were all kinds of issues,\u201d explains Neumann. \u201cLondon was highlighted from the community as a \u2018Please, please update London.\u2019 So, I always had that on my mind, that we\u2019ve got to do something with London. And as I was working with the Bing team, we\u2019d talk about it a lot, about wanting to do England correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
