But the MSFS part was just that what I said. 

It’s the Tokyo Game Show, so they used it to promote their Japan update.

Nice I bene enjoying flying in Japan.  I am curious to see what they do in a World Update and hope this is a sign of things to come across the world.  I am also happy to see it being something not in the typical flight sim sphere.  9/29 is pretty soon!

Thanks, you made my day! Japan has been underrepresented in all Flightsims I recall since 30 years, including addons.

Kind regards, Michael

i rather have them fix the bugs first, pls

but yes, looks nice.

Thanks for the heads-up. Looks very promising. Great times ahead if Asobo will enhance the entire world bit by bit. And that should also keep up the interest in the sim as new stuff will be released on a constant basis.

It has, so this is very welcome. I've been doing a lot of flying in Japan with MSFS already, so this will only add to the enjoyment.

As did I and I was already excited what I saw until now. The best I had before was Mr. Haruo's landclass-based enhancement in Prepar3d, which worked within its limits but gave ugly color and autogen clashs where I added photo-based airport/city sceneries.

Kind regards, Michael

Beautiful..... I've never flown much in Japan before, but I'm sure this is about to change
