Ray Tracing

Reflections in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
In these videos I was looking for examples of ray traced reflections in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Running DX12, ray tracing was theoretically available in the sim. I believed I was looking at RT, but according to feedback from some of my viewers, apparently not! Nonetheless the reflections I found added a wonderful sense of depth and reality to the simulated world and I am thrilled every time I fly in it. The progression in graphics since the early 1980's, and in particular since the first GPUs hit the consumer market in the late 1990's has been wondrous to behold.
