And there are surprisingly many areas where you just have the basic LC coverage which I thought was a thing of the past. Start in Schwäbisch Hall for example and have a look at the city.

You can fly VFR cause of the streets and layouts are perfect , but there is definitely room for improvments on the buildings and other objects. Edited August 18, 20205 yr by Hoppala29
August 18, 20205 yr was checking Stuttgart airport, and yes its erased, but it was there in the alpha a few month ago. Stuttgart city looks great, but the airport is erased badly, looks like it was a quick shot 😜
August 18, 20205 yr I'm pretty happy with Germany so far. Sure, the autogen AI has a lot of trouble with special buildings like churches or castles, but overall, from 2000 ft or so, I've never seen anything quite as convincing.

I've expected more "photo-realistic" coverage of some of the airfields I fly to regularly: EDTM, EDDS, EDTD, EDSN etc. They all have paved runways, some of them quite big. My previous home airfield (rather small) has wildly wrong elevation and weird slopes. Biggest disappointment is definitely Stuttgart Airport, a huge and important landmark for me missing. Luckily (or maybe not) thanks to Corona, low approach requests are granted almost every time I fly over IRL, which is great!

August 18, 20205 yr Um, this is insane. Seriously? This is kind of a big deal. Sure, I understand how it happened, but... James
August 18, 20205 yr Man that sucks, how didn't the alpha testers catch this and force MS to add at minimum the FSX model? 😞 | AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Windsor 2.8GHz | Gigabyte M52S-S3P v1 | GForce 8600GT 512MB | 3 GB DDR2 @ 800Mhz | 320 GB HDD | DELL U2311H 23″ | WinXp sp3 x86 |

August 18, 20205 yr Maybe Janov means the "Weidacher Höhe", a hill in the west of EDDS. But unlit? The airport in fs looks like "10 years after zombie apocalypse" ^^ Edited August 18, 20205 yr by Harryreich
