  • The Eiffel Tower might not be lit up at night due to copyright concerns, if I recall correctly the lights are pretty recent and considered art, so they are covered under copyright law and depictions of them are illegal without permission.

    • I believe copyright or license is the reason some structures aren't in the game, so it certainly sounds believable. I don't know if it applies to this but I've seen people mention Sydney Harbour Bridge being affected by this. Although, I'd bet they could have faked the lighting setup for the Eiffel Tower? Done something that allowed it to be lit up but without copying the art. Surely lighting something can't be copyrighted, only that particular configuration of lights.

  • 8:15 Fun fact! The pattern of the lights illuminating the Eiffel Tower at night is copyrighted (it's not just plain white lighting, it's apparently some kind of "art" the same way a sculpture in a public place would be under their laws). It's obvious they hand-modeled it, so that's likely the reason they didn't implement the lighting. In almost every country but France there exists something called "freedom of panorama," i.e. if it's in public or can be seen from a public place you can share photographs or representations as an exception to copyright coverage. Don't like it? Help abolish the broken copyright system :)

  • With 20/20 hindsight, I'm VERY glad that the prognosis for masses of addons taking some time has proved a tad pessimistic. Modellers have hit the ground running, and together with Asobo's major and regular updates, MSFS 2020 is much better today than it was when it was first released. They certainly learnt about frequent upgrades/updates during the interregnum, that's for sure.

  • 7:50 After playing FS2020 for the first time and coming across this myself while flying thousands of feet over Paris, France at night, I was taken aback. I could not believe my eyes. The game looked so real and the night sky was just incredible. I literally paused the game, rolled back in my chair and took a deep breath after finally realizing how far technology had come. Seeing the lights brighten the sky and watching as the clouds revealed a vast beautiful lit up landscape was absolutely breathtaking. This sim is as spectacular as people say it is.

  • Hey, quickly googled why the lights are no on the Eiffel Tower and here the answer I got. It turns out the tower's nighttime light show was added in 1985 and is therefore still protected under France's copyright law as an artistic work. Thus, it's illegal to share, sell, or publish photos and videos of the night-lit Eiffel Tower without prior permission from the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel.13 Oct 2017.

  • I had the hardware to play this when it originally released, but decided to wait and save up for a new rig. This is one I knew I had to have my first experience at (or near) the highest level PC gaming can offer. My new PC came two days ago. I9 4Ghz, 3080ti 12 gig, 32 gigs memory, nVME 2 TB M.2 drive, and a 32” 1440 g-sync monitor. I’ve my HOTAS and pedals. I’m only awaiting my Track IR to fly. I bought the premium GotY edition which took all night to DL. I was pleased to see the sim had (mostly) everything cranked up to ultra by default on boot-up. While I’ve not flown yet, if the fidelity of the hanger aircraft models is any indication, this is going to be one hell of a mind-blowing experience. I’ve always wanted to be a pilot IRL. Unfortunately, my health is very very poor from a chronic disease. I don’t know how much longer I have, so this is a dream for me and I’m so grateful I live in a time where this is possible. It may seem trivial to someone who is healthy, but when you’re sick and your time may be short, the affordance of such freedom and escape that products like this give is an absolute godsend. Thank you Microsoft and Asobo Studios. 🙏🏼
