Nice screenshots. The downside of user created screens is that you can see some weird colors going on because of the huge watermark.

Still, i liked seeing the fog this time!

 

Also quite thankful i don't have to wait until midnight or 1 o'clock to see the post.

Yeah, those are some good screens. Also I'm glad they posted the update early this time, the last few times it was getting uncomfortably late for most of Europe.

Also it appears that they've started sending some more invites a small while ago, so stay tuned to your inboxes.

That first screen looks like its taken from offline mode.

Nice catch! Next update is coming on 6 February, I've went ahead and corrected this in the main post.

To your credit, it was Microsoft's error.

I thought it was saint barts, looks pretty decent.  100x better than fsx default.  I hope SABA is good too 🙂

I think you're right. The trees are way too tall, but the shape is correct.

Skint's first picture of the skyline... which city is that? Same question for LookedUnicorn95's picture! Both look great!
