The additional files (it said it was mostly radio tower files) install took hours and was very inefficient.
So I have been flying around a bit over my own city and I’m generally quite happy with the graphics and performance. I have a 3rd gen i7 (3770 vpro I think) with 16GB RAM and a 970 GTX, and installed the game on an external SSD. I think my USB isn’t the fastest though, and load times could be a bit faster but it’s ok.
My PC must be about one year older than when I got the 970GTX. Looking at the release date of that i7 I probably got my PC in 2013 ... so that is 7 years old. [emoji28]
(didn’t bother yet trying to find out if the screen recording options still work, haven’t tried that since I got my graphics card).
EDIT: also if this is based on Bing Maps, I can tell that the maps of my city are quite out of date, 4-6 years old or something? The highway through the city is a tunnel now.
And none of the prominent buildings look like their real life counterpart and the most prominent ones here which are the many churches, are not there at all. So some room for improvement
. Still I can fly over the city and navigate by my real life knowledge of where things are so that’s still cool and the graphics are very nice nonetheless.
