Will I be able to see my own house in this game?

Are the cities pretty accurately well rendered? Do the homes match what is there in reality? Just wondering.

The maps are based on Bing Maps™. If you can see your house in Bing Maps™, it will show up in the game, more or less.

Map accuracy depends on Bing Maps™ accuracy which ranges from fairly new to maybe up to five years out of date (in most regions, some regions that aren't friendly to Microsoft are worse). Plus there are some issues with the world generator which can create some unusual results, but considering basically the planet is a map, it's quite good.

I found mine in Fort Worth, Texas. I noticed that one of the main roads near me is still under construction. I also noticed that one of my local airports still has one of the runways being lengthened, these both were completed years ago.

Hmm very interesting! I was looking at the screenshots on steam and it looks really awesome! The view from the sky of the many different houses that were dotting that one town with rivers cutting between backyards looks so real.

Flight Simulator X just looks so much much more barren in comparison! I hope to pick this game up soon!

Thanks for the reply! Ill check out my town on bing maps haha.... will be the first time I use that app.

Yes indeed, there are several roads, places under construction in the game while irl it has been finished years ago

No. I mean, maybe if you live in NY or so. Handcrafted areas are pretty nice. In my town, my house looks like a brown block, created from russian architects. Has nothing in common with reality. But the enviroment makes it possible to say like: "Ey look, there are those trees, there is the lake, so this building on the corner must be my house." Like that

Yes, but if it was built in the last few years maybe not. Only half my community is in the game.

Well, i found my house.

My house is old so that helps, but I live in the middle of nowhere in AR and I still managed to find my house and it didn't look horrible. The game took the liberty of creating a building on my property, but it doesn't look at all like my building. I do however wish they would add radio towers to the game to make VFR navigation a little easier. I took a Cub and followed the roads that I knew to find my house. Water towers and stuff aren't in the game in a lot of areas either. At least the fields look mostly like fields.

I was able to find mine and my grandparent's house way up in Northern Maine that I used to live in 20 years ago.

You will find a generic type of house that probably won't look like yours unless you happen to live in Trump tower. I was able to find my house and it was close enough. There is a Casino and Hotel not far from me and I was hoping that would look the same but sadly it is just generic large building very roughly in the shape of the casino. Wild Coast Sun west of Port Edward South Africa, take off from Margate and follow the coast west for five minutes if interested.

You probably wont be able to make it to your house, most likely the game will ctd before that. It's a broken mess after the latest update.
