The game ran at an average of 25fps at 1080p on medium to high settings to 45fps on the latter, desktop build. Even on two of the machines, I tested the game on, which came equipped with a 10th gen Intel CPU and an Nvidia 2070 Super (laptop) and a desktop with a Ryzen 7 3800XT and a Radeon 5600 XT build. The staggering amount of detail found within Flight Simulator comes with a cost. Structures and landmarks that are well known tend to be better realized as they designed by artists, whereas swaths of metropolitan and other areas mimic their real-world counterparts well enough to create a believable sense of space, but ultimately lack the finite detail up close, primarily due to the lower-resolution photogrammetry assets. It can’t be said how surreal and cool it is to find real-world locations from your own life rendered in enough detail to be recognizable to the player. Other small but notable details include motorways and streets that are populated with moving traffic, Ground Airline operators and even, animals when appropriate. Particularly, in regards to trees that tend to incorrectly spawn-in as strange polygonal blocks. Simply put, Flight Simulator 2020’s impressive tech backbone ultimately coalesces into a shockingly-believable rendition of the real world, complete with detailed buildings and foilage that only lose their realism when scrutinized up close. The photogrammetry data, a technique also used in games like Resident Evil 7 is supplemented by more traditional, artist-rendered assets, particularly for landmarks and standout structures, which helps elevate the sense of realism found within the game. Real-world map data and imagery from Microsoft’s Bing search engine populates the environment, overlayed on top of computer-generated terrain provided by Blackshark AI and human-made structures, such as cities and landmarks.

Microsoft’s Flight Simulator 2020 – Xbox Game Studiosįlight Simulator 2020 uses a mix of different technologies in order to deliver a mostly convincingly depiction of the Earth.
