Rumors on World Update 5?

Featured Replies

I know Update 4 is not even released but I'm curious if there are rumors (or even solid information) on update 5 (and beyond)?

 

Thx

Short answer - No.  They should announce news just before or around the release of update 4.  That is the usual way.

As for rumours, they are just that and fairly useless, but people are saying Africa, Asia, or South America should have some love!  

Personally, I would like to see Australia, New Zealand and Oceania get some attention, or continue with Europe, as Southern Europe and Scandinavia are also good candidates.
You never know, if 'other influences' come in to it (if you know what I mean), we may see Russia or the Gulf States pushed up the list. 😀

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

If they stay in Europe (which I don't hope) then I'd like to see Italy.

Narnia, or possibly Utopia, in which case I hope they'll include Cloud Cuckooland International Airport.

Nope, my garden needs a lot of work. So much weeds, and the shed must get some paint.

I know I dont gain friends with this, but I would prefer that they first put all efforts into those things we already have and polish the sim in its current state before releasing further world updates. Seriously, unless you start concentrating all your flights on GB only, you wont really profit from the last world update at all, dont you? I mean, I did my first two, three VFR flights in England and Scotland only after the World Update 3 and I was not that much baffled compared to other regions in the world. For those living in the region of the update it is for sure great, but for the rest? Same goes for Japan, I did one single flight over there since the World Update 1. 

However, I struggled and continue to struggle from many scenery issues still present (or even added by one of those World Updates) such as coastline bugs, poor mesh, bad satellite imagery, buggy photogrammetry, missing watermasks, morphing terrain in mountains, buggy snow depiction, no seasonal changes, lod issues and so on. They would better use the full power of their scenery dev team to address those bugs and glitches first... 

But then, that is just my opinion. If they would announce World Update 5 being DE, CH and AT, I would probably change my mind 😉

I do agree with you. My desire for the Caribbean and MX to be updated is related to the issues you listed. I'm far less interested in detailed POI's in Mexico City. In fact, I think stuff like that is pretty small potatoes and should be left to 3PD's.

I think Asobo is probably contractually required to release these regional updates. No update = no paycheck.

If I could choose between a „clean-up world update“ and a regular world update I‘d go for the former as well, but I‘m not sure if it works like that in terms of resource management.

It might be nothing at all, but did you notice the hidden Dash 8 in Quantas Link livery in FS2020?

They've definitely spent time modeling it at least to take the screenshot. Maybe World Update 5 will be Oceania with 1 new aircraft?

NB: was there already since 1.7.12.0, use IOBit Unlocker to open sesame without corrupting your WindowsApps folder.
