      The map is 100% useless. It should be like google earth i.e. having imagery of the area, not just grey and featureless.

    The in-game world map is poor IMO. As soon as you zoom in to any degree, it all goes solid grey and you have no idea where you are. It's decent if you know airport codes but not everybody knows or flies using them. I'm looking forward to the day a full colour map is included.

    I've got what I would consider a pretty high end pc but I struggle like mad to run this game at any kind of framerate when low down and in 4k, I have a series x so I'm really interested to see how well they can pull this off, 30fps 4k would be amazing.. My pc can just about manage that unless I'm landing or taking off then it's down to 10fps.. Anything above 30fps especially 4k I will be blown away.. If it can achieve that on a £500 console then they have built one hell of a machine

    • @norcalrallyx

      Same, I fail to see much difference between 4K and 1440p, I run the latter at customized high settings and I'm getting 25-35fps in cities and 55fps at altitude. Besides the usual stutters while landing, its pretty smooth.
