I'd like to correct your statement: "modeled in the American style, ie: flat roofs." to read "in the California style, ie: flat roofs." There are PLENTY of American homes in rain and snow prone areas with pointy roofs. Unfortunately in the US everyone thinks California is the center of the universe. Therefore if Californians have flat roofs then certainly everyone in the world has flat roofs.
Besides, it makes for fewer polygons. Probably an important consideration considering the typical computer hardware in use when FS2004 came out.
You got fences and Telephone wires in CFS3. Why not FSX? Surely in four years computers have improved enough to have them across the world instead of just Europe.
...who's gonna see that at 25,000ft...
Not everyone flys at 25,000 ft. Yes, it's true, there are people who don't like airliners.
Also, I've seen pointy roofs in FS9. They're around, you just have to look for them. Flat roofs aren't the American style at all.
Of course profesional pilots have different taste than bush pilots
And don't forget, M$ is modeling the whole world.
Speaking of roads, I hope to god they are making the bridges drivable. If so, that can be a big thing for many people. Think of the kinds of screenshots that can appear in future contests. Also, think about what this means for those who are really tired of having to slew over a river because the bridges in FS9 are not drivable.
Or landable
