Hate to be that one guy, but doesn't Madeira seem a little off. While I praise Asobo for depicting Madeira better than FSX and appear closer to how it is in real life, the runway appearance doesn't seem accurate to me. The start of both runways are supposed to be light gray in color rather than be the same as the entire runway. In addition, the runway number should be where the threshold markings are. In this case, there should be three lines to the left and right of the runway numbers each.

Also, doesn't the runway look too undulated. I hope these are only overdone just to prove some guy wrong about sloped runways, but in real life while Madeira does have sloped runways, I'm pretty sure it's not undulated to that extreme. From the perspective of the second Madeira screenshot, the runway platform is supposed to be completely flat (0.0%) from 191ft, then after the platform the runway slopes downward 0.8-1.0% (still somewhat flat most of the way but is sloped) to 146ft according to LPMA charts from November 2018. I looked at the 4/23 screenshot (the one from simtom112) of what I believe is Madeira, and the runway sloping (at least for runway 5) appears normal to me (save probably the trees).

And finally the trees. I'm pretty sure they're either bushes or small trees on the right of the runway (from the perspective of the first Madeira screenshot). Just, the height of the tree (on the right) should never reach the runway height. I think the inclined plane on the left is fine though. Just pointing out what I believe are discrepancies from what I remember and from a few images of the airport. As someone from Madeira, I really want Asobo to get Madeira right.

I don't think so, it seems basically not flyable. I am overwhelmed with the work they have to do. I am a patient person.

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

How stupid does he feel now. LOL

MY WISH : I want the long night of the Covid19 horror to be over, and a new dawn where I wake up to find FS 2020 installed on my PC...

Wait a moment, they mentioned a G58 in the patch notes, which I think is a Baron right? Did they mean the G36? Either way, hopefully it's a hint that they are making a Baron too.

Screenshots like these make me wonder how awesome it’ll be to fly with a sim that looks like this and with 50 aircraft around you with a full-fledged ATC client like VATSIM or IVAO. 😍
