G’day all or Bonjour à tous, aloha, Hallo allemaal, 大家好, Hallo alle, Halló allir, Pozdrav svima, Halo semua, Καλησπέρα σε όλους, so today we head off into the unknown universe of Pre Global and well I found some mountains and an A-10. Now yesterday I was deciding on a schedule for my pictures and I have decided on a Slack, it will be linked as a hyperlink because the URL is very long. So let’s hop inside our time machine and head back to the era of Pre Global.

This makes me so sad to see. Yeah, sure, global has it’s advantages, but it’s always nice to slow down for a bit and take a look at what we’ve done in the past.

Wow, the first photo is great! I remember when you went out over the water far enough the throttle would cut out 😂

Hopefully the water makes a return sometime in the future.

Unfortunately I don’t think it will ever come back, because the map is the whole globe,
And I think if the terrain were to be added it would be glitchy. I wish it could though (I’m not 100% about this so if I’m wrong someone can correct me)
Also nice pictures @Qantas094!

Infinite Flight Coast Editiors could become a thing. Map out the coasts and then put water everywhere in between

Could do but where would they get accurate information for the water and change depending on the season, time and weather?
