Leeward Antilles and Venezuelan islands are deserts?

Featured Replies

Today I was very disappointed to see that MS left the Dutch Antilles and Venezuelan and Colombian coast and islands completely abandoned, they really look like deserts!(@1.00) While in Bing map they are all well covered. I cannot understand the reason why? hopefully in the future we might see improvement in this part of the world but seems like for MS there is no love for the smaller tourist islands...shame!

Thanks for the heads up. Looking at doing a lot of island hopping in the Caribbean so will leave this area for a few months 😞

Cheers

I've scrolled through several parts of the video and It looks like this person was flying with satellite imagery turned off.

Give me somewhere you want pictures of and I'll take some screenshots myself.

Thanks Tuskin, I'm currently flying around Guadelope in the C152 (well after work I will be) checking out the Honaire police station (death in Paradise tv series location), but it's a relief then if they didn't use sat' imagery. If you get a chance Ambergais caye just off Belize would be good to see as I promised the wife that if we ever win the lottery we'll retire there 🙂

I didn't label them sorry, but if you know the area you should recognize them

I flow around the Eastern Caribbean last night and while not perfect, it was a huge improvement to other default scenery of that region. Commonwealth of Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Vincent looked much better than FSX and P3D's default representations.
