The tropical water  looks  much better at last. The shading is here, the colors still need  a little work.

Just my two cents:

they are starting to get some color shading from satellite images for water, wich is pretty nice.

The big Cruise ships are the same as the 3d photogrammetry ones, therefore there won't be room for AI ships, wich is not that nice :(

There was a ship in one of the Marseilles screenshots and one in the first screenshot  in today‘s update that don‘t seem to be photogrammetry. So I wouldn’t give up hope just yet. They could be static of course but that would be a bit strange.

Well, if we are going to be precise the aircraft is abeam the Innsbruck airport, that is correct. But the picture does not show the town of Innsbruck it shows the Inn Valley with Axams on the left and Zirl in the center. 😉

Huh, the sim seems to missing an island off one of the runways.Maybe it's just too dark to see, or maybe it's being rendered under the water.

If I had to guess, it looks like an island that is underwater some part of the year. MSFS' source may be different than that shot.

Either that or the fact that it's dark in color, surrounded by dark water in the sat imagery means the AI is not classifying it as land and is putting a mask over it.
