With my setup, the screenshots get automatically saved to OneDrive, inside the pictures/screenshots folder.  This seems to work quite well.  If you use OnDrive then this is easy to configure with settings and then going to the backup tab.

Haha, fantastic albert.

I've not had much time yet, but I've fired it up to have a look around a few memorable places for Jasmine and I- Hanoi, Melbourne, etc -and yes, lots of the cities need some work on the major landmarks! I guess this will come with time? Either way it was still fun to visit places that at least vaguely resembled the real world! :D

I think it's worth googling places found if you want to save time, but some of the fun is just in the exploration. Small plane, 20mile trip, through forest or hills. It's a decent challenge on medium settings with real weather in play.

There is a list of cities that have 3D data associated with them (Southampton in the UK for example).  These cities tend to be a lot better and it is my understanding that this list will increase over time.

Oh definitely, and i'd imagine they are already working on some of the hiccups with the 3d models, Buckingham palace for example and the 2000 story building in Australia, im sure they will iron all these out.

If you use windows 10, open the maps app and on the top right, press the (...) and select 3d cities. What you see here you will see in the sim.

So i have decided to fly around the world doing small hops in the A320 neo.  The screen shots i have posted previously were from Manchester to Dublin and then a few from Dublin to Paris.  Last night i flew from Paris to Barcelona, few screen shots below:

Next stop i think will be a hop to Rome from Barcelona and then from there i plan on heading into Saudi somewhere.

Not sure why the quality of the pics aren't as good as they were before uploading, might have to try a different format.

I was just assuming that you mostly fly in the evening and as you work your way round the planet, it will be daytime :D
