MSFS World Update #3

[sauviat 137]

Have just read that the next update in the New Year will be the UK! Timing is great for Brexit, too! Liverpool and Manchester getting the works, levelling up the north/south devide!

Taken from MSFSaddons.com:

"Today, on the regular developer Q&A, it was revealed that the third World Update will be released in January, and will focus on the UK (with some hope to include Ireland).

The UK scenery will then be improved in several key areas. There will be new highly detailed elevation data, going up to 50cm to 2m resolution, and brand new aerial imagery. Besides these overall improvements in terrain quality and resolution, there will also be a series of custom-built airports (Manchester and Liverpool airports are among them), around 50 to 60 points of interest and many new procedural buildings, which will focus a lot on churches and cathedrals. Not enough? We will also have new landing challenges!"

Excellent news. I hope they work on the castles, which are a distinct feature of the UK landscape. I've checked on two castles so far, and while one of them looks a bit like it should, the other looks like a domed-roof warehouse.

Otherwise, I think a handcrafted "castles of the UK" add-on from a third-party would be very welcome.

I wonder where sim update 1 was? Probably the accumulation of all previous bug fixes...

World Update # 1 was Japan, not sim update - world update (2 different things).

Schedule to be release on the 16th Feb.  My guess, on or just after 1600z

If you wish to fly MSFS today without interruption then start the sim get the main screen and leave it there until you fly.  Just get in beyond where it checks for updates.
