OMG.

 

Do you realize they are working on 40,000+ airports around the world, and you're complaining about the exact details of the way a number is painted on one runway?

Exactly... Get some perspective my goodness.

Understandable, but remember, this is the scenery for default, a highly detailed airport will be work for third party developers.

That is true. I know the scenery is meant to be default, and for default scenery, it does look spot on to real life. I mean they even got the runway platform, which is a major plus for me.

Are you talking about me? Because I replied to the post you quoted, clarifing what I meant. I feel some people are getting the wrong idea of what I meant. I'm not trying to bring Asobo down, and I never said Asobo ruined the scenery for me. I only pointed out what I thought looked off from real life. I admit I could've worded better and I apologize if anyone got the idea I'm making a big deal about minor things about an airport. Though I admit I am nitpicking on my original post, I do recognize that as a default airport, this is miles better than FSX.

Yep, just seen your reply an thats fair enough. Like you say I think it was just the wording seemed hyper critical but you’ve explained and I get your point.

Yeah. Glad you understand. Again I apologize for poor wording on my part on the earlier post. I can see why it was too critical, and I could've balanced it out better to avoid this problem. BTW, I did see the change log again, and saw something about surface types on runways. So hopefully Madeira would look even better. Again, they did get most things right such as runway platform, airport building, and surrounding terrain, which I'm happy about.

No problem at all...I missed that, good point. I think with such an iconic airport like Madeira there will be that extra bit of love and care put into it. I believe Asobo highlighted 80 airports that would get the very highest VIP treatment, maybe Madeira is on that list possibly who knows.. But worst case am sure a third party dev will come in an do a great job of it if there’s inaccuracies.

Yeah. Plus, I am from Madeira, so that's why I brought some attention to it. I do hope LPMA is on the list of highly detailed airports, not just because I'm from Madeira, but this is one of the most infamous airports for both being the runway platform and for being a difficult airport to land on (more so in the 90s).

Amazing screenshots! 

 

Sadly no invite for me I don't think I'll get it at all because of my old o.c. cpu. 😞 Still can't stop checking anh hoping though.

this could result in millions of virtual pilots to be laid off until the problem is fixed . 😂 ...  as far as the size of the trees goes im sure Asobo will probably deploy a large contracted group of virtual landscapers to fix that problem too . fingers crossed .

It was goodbye P3D / X-Plane several months ago. 

Every developer known to man will gladly 'jump ship'  to MSFS2020. And why wouldn't you.

This update is better than previous, as usually 🙂 Pictures are superb, but I have one comment. I notice on all pictures, that concrete grain looks too coarse on every runways and aprons surface. In real life concrete's surfaces are much finer and smoother.
