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

Well as mentioned here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/live-dev-q-a-guided-question/370628

There will an announcement surprise and a surprise (no idea if they are the same). Maybe that? No idea.

Wherever it is, hopefully they won't break anything else (one more time) 😆

Lol they will. But as long they will release a hotfix after that, i am fine with it.

I love to see my country Philippines but that's very unlikely to happen, we may not have man made structures to feature but abundant in nature, a thousand islands to hop in and out, water masking will be a challenge, volcanoes and mountains to name the few,

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.

I wonder if it's an AI aircraft but they haven't got permission to use the model yet.

Or something they scrapped during development.

 

Here's the image for those who haven't seen it:

This could come in some future update runs on AZURE.

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

I was always partial to Middle Earth myself. Rivendell International. Watch out for low flying Nazgul.

I’ll get my pilot’s bag...

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 think this is a realistic thought. They did the UK and Ireland, now the did France an the BeNeLux, so maybe they are making their way east, so the next Update has a high chance to be Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Nope, it will be "the Nordics" including Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finnland. Already revealed in yesterdays Q&A...

Seriously another Europe one?  Time to show some love to Down Under simmers.  C'mon Asobo....

They’re making areas where customers are. I think oceana is next.

We used to have a bookshop in Totnes (Devon), and it's a bit of a hippie haven as a town. Sort of fun but also a bit time-warp. It was a regular thing there that someone would overpaint the "twinned with" signs either end of the town to read "Twinned with Narnia". The council  would eventually clean them off but it'd be back within a few weeks,

Actually, a nice place and worthe a visit.
