No photogrammetric Washington DC...

Maybe it's algorithm will automatically draw the White House as a Trump casino.

Washington will be drawn in as Biff Tannen's Hill Valley.

It looks like lots of people on Steam are bitching about buying the game thru Steam.

My boyz in Euroland... how did you buy it?  Microsoft Store?

I crashed into Godzillatron trying to land on it  :lol:

Couldn't pull off the badass slip to get down there.  Also, Disch-Falk has a building in center field.

E: Damn they've got high school stadiums in San Antonio that are modeled.  Flew over Central Catholic by accident, then checked out Alamo Stadium (a school district uses it now, but it's where the Riders, in the WLAF, played), and am now over UIWs campus.  This photogrammetry stuff is pretty cool.  UIWs tennis courts look like they're draped over the nets though, which is odd.  They've even got the Southland Conference stuff on their field.

Whataburgers are easy to spot.

Yes.

The game is not friendly to alt-tabbing I think. I was alt-tabbing out of it heavily yesterday evening. Ended up lagging even on Medium, I was starting to despair. Restarting the game (well the whole PC just in case) solved it though and I was back to playing smoothly on High.

Flying low over downtown Tokyo was pushing it, the FPS could not be great but it was smooth enough to be enjoyable.

Ran fine for me, I did a lot of switching to Google maps on my second screen or to a browser on main.
