It very much looks like the runway is on a rounded plateau, with both sides gently and symmetrically sloping downward.  It is not the FSX/P3D awful cliff around the runway but a softer version  of the solution to the same problem. 

You know, the more I look at the screnshot, the more I think you could be right.

It is interesting to look at the pathway that runs from the planes nose to the building.  Now look at the rooftops of the "buildings" that line the path, and compare to the Bing image.  Very different, but I am surprised they didn't pull the correct rooftop color at the very least.  It stands out as it should be symmetrical.  I thought the AI pulled the roof color from Bing/ the satellite image?

My brother has Coronavirus, confirmed by testing. On 3/26 he almost didn't survive the night.  He had extreme trouble breathing and was given a steroid inhaler.  He was very weak, had nausea, and other issues that aren't pleasant.  As of this update he is feeling much better, and seems he will be fine.  Stay safe out there.  (Updated 4/6)

Now that’s a very interesting comparison as many details don’t match: the cars, those football field markings, the field on the left. I could be wrong but I think this is the first time we have evidence of MSFS using different imagery than the standard version of Bing Maps.

Also streets and avenues are made of grass 🤨

But the parliament building is very well done

Yes, true. Oh, and the attendant of that car park next to the Palace of the Parliament must be very happy with such a huge booth. Apart from that I think it looks quite good for standart autogen.

That is quite strange.  Must have thought several dozen cars parked close were two connected buildings.

Yes, the image looks great, even with green streets.  I am still amazed at the graphics the devs are able to do.
