November 20, 20205 yr I keep hearing about these world updates and saw that North America is slated for Tuesday. However, I still can't figure out what exactly it is. Is it scenery enhancements or something? To me it isn't clear so I was hoping someone could explain what you get with it. Thanks!

November 20, 20205 yr USA update is 4 new handcrafted airports, new digital elevation terrain model (1m resolution in many cases), new aerial ortho imagery for many areas, 50 new points of interest/landmarks, and a new bush trip. New airports are: Atlanta International, Friday Harbor, New York Stewart, and Dallas-Fort Worth This was discussed in last dev Q&A (Oct 28th). The Dev Q&A videos are very informative, I highly recommend watching them to keep up on stuff like this.

November 20, 20205 yr Should be same kind of deal as Japan. Personally id wish they do South America afterwards, eventhough id guess they will do Europe first.
November 20, 20205 yr Every time I see this thread I think, oh boy World War II Update. Until it soaks in. Must have warbirds on my mind...

That's entirely understandable. I'm the same. The old boys over at the sim outhouse haven't been idle. . . It's going to be okay. Edited November 20, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese

November 20, 20205 yr "USA update is 4 new handcrafted airports, new digital elevation terrain model (1m resolution in many cases), new aerial ortho imagery for many areas, 50 new points of interest/landmarks, and a new bush trip." What exactly does that mean? I understood that the ortho imagery was continually updated from Bing.

What exactly does that mean? I understood that the ortho imagery was continually updated from Bing. I am not sure. That's just what was stated in the Dev Q&A. Maybe they take periodic snapshots from Bing - I have no inside info but I imagine processing the imagery through the Blackshark AI to generate the buildings is resource intensive, so it might not be possible to constantly track the latest Bing.

November 20, 20205 yr Still not sure why they changed the title to “North America” rather than “USA”.
November 21, 20205 yr KATL and KDFW, great choices! - Currently giving X-Plane 12.10 a spin on Shadow PC. 10 years with X-Plane now, since 10.20
