I am not sure about a Sandbox editor, they do have a Developer Mode for Flight Simulator where you can bring in content from Google Earth or other places.

I have only watched this and not tried it, but this video here as a series on doing your own scenery:

This is not my video, it is a channel called Flying Theston:



As to how you get to the weather controls, there is a cloud Tool bar if you put your mouse up to the top in Flight Simulator.

Another thing I forgot to show last night is you can also set the Time of Day to any time of day:

This is neat for capturing a sunrise or a sunset, or night time of the same scene.


It takes animation from a create each scene a prop at a time to you can just go to any place on Earth by the Latitude and Longitude or go find it just by exploring.  I hope someday you can export the scenes that are created. This technology is new so who knows where it will go.

Lewis and Clark would have been jealous of our technology I imagine.

You are allowed to use any scenery in videos / movies as I am not the only one that bought it for that purpose.

I have heard the Eiffel Tower lights are copyrighted, but everything you are seeing is an AI generation of satellite photometric data, so I don't think anyone would win if they did.

To my knowledge which is not very much, there is not a way to record from the cameras in flight simulator (yet).
Someone else in the forums could answer that question better than I could.

What I do is use the Drone camera, they call it a Showcase camera, and I do a screen record of what I want to capture.

The quality you record at I think is limited by your graphics card or video capture card I think. My software only (Movavi Video Editor) only shows 1920 x 1080 for me. 

It's funny to me the game has wind mills that spin, but the few lighthouses I have looked at weren't there.

North America is due for an update later this year, so when that comes out it should make make things look even better.

One of my favorite uses is I follow #landscape #photography on Twitter. When people post a photo of an interesting place on Earth, I like to go find the photo and compare. Some are pretty amazing considering this is a flight game, it's not made specifically for rendering scenes but it does a pretty great job to me. 

Here is the real photo:


Microsoft Flight Simulator right now has a bad habit of replacing rocks with Trees. I may bring this up for a feature request to fix this.

Still not bad though, the software knows the steep hill is steep.

My Geography knowledge was never that great, but I have learned way more about geography since I bought this.

I was thinking of making an unofficial commercial for Microsoft showing some kids in school. Teacher asks questions, and some kids know the capital or maybe a little about any place on Earth. A kid with Microsoft Flight Simulator knows the name of the town, the near by towns, the emergency military base as an alternate landing, elevation, all kinds of other stuff.

I would love IClone to have a time of day and atmosphere controls like this. Being able to control the time of day and weather for outdoor scenes would be the perfect feature for IClone 9 (Call Microsoft Reallusion).

I can't do that. I can hit 'Place Order' though.

It may not be quite as smooth, but I can even click left handed.

We all have own skills and talents.
