Sunrise over New Mexico. Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the new view out the windshield. When it comes to combining MSFS with PSX, I am officially no longer a skeptic. Thanks again, Gary.

Since I am equipment challenged, I don't see exactly how you overlapped the PSX and MSFS windows. It looks now like the MSFS scenery seamlessly borders the PSX glare shield, which I believe isn't technically feasible. What am I missing? Is it just the dark planet that masks out the borderline?

Also I am amazed by the visible rounding of the horizon at "just" FL410. I am sure this is technically correct but I always thought you needed to be higher than that for such a pronounced curvature. Large wide angle lens?

Correct, I don't mean to be misleading. This is what it looks like a few moments later, when the planet isn't in darkness anymore.

Note the contrail from the crossing traffic!

I agree, the effect seems not terrible, but a bit exaggerated. Zooming the horizon on MSFS doesn't change the displayed curvature. (The screenshots above are all at maximum zoom, which looks the most familiar to me.)
