I am disappointed with this update, there is no difference at all in the part of Sweden I live, the Bing maps are as bad as before, and full of weird visual artifacts like waterfalls in the lakes, and the tree drawing distans is still horrible with visual morphing.

Just to confirm you went to the ingame marketplace and got the free nordic pack?

Yes.

Just a heads-up - both Zinertek and Rex airport textures now cause CTDs at some airports - the Isafjordur one, for example. That one is used in the Live Event Landing Challenge. This has been verified and tested by several.

We're aware of it and fixing now.

Zinertek is having an update in a few days to an excellent v2. Hopefully they're already aware of this and will include the fix in the upcoming package.

Update was glitch free in my MS Install.

Total including the optional Nordic stuff was maybe 10GB and only took about 20 minutes (250Mb connection but max download speed seemed to cap at around 135Mb).

Interestingly doing the "buy" thing in the marketplace now seems to auto-install the Nordic part of the update whereas in previous World Updates it was a two step process requiring you to also install in content manager.

There are 2 buttons, buy and install and buy.

Thank you for this. 

Fixed for me as well. 

One thing I've noticed, the handcrafted airports in the World Updates all use default SimObjects, like no custom jetway models. Which is a shame at Arlanda, because some of the gates have jetways are too high for where they're meant to connect at the terminal.

Is it just me or do the countries covered by this WU now have autogen churches? Some might be misplaced, but to me it still adds to the immersion, good job.

Funny, because that's exactly what I had to do this time: "buy" it in the free section of the market, and then install the subcomponents in the content manager. 😄

I start to become critiical about the contents of the world updates.

Yes, one has to bear in mind that they are free updates, and the POI's the extra Airports and the corrected default ones, plus a better DEM are very welcome additions.

And Bush Trips to explore the areas, very fun to fly.

 

But there are some basic things that I wish we had seen included as well:

1) Adding ALL missing airfields in the updated areas. And tyding up ALL of their layouts (like ORBX does in their regional packs)

2) Adding better vector data to have more accurate coastlines and rivers that actually follow the underlying aerial image. There are many places in for example Alaska where you can still see straight lines and hard angles instead of lines that follow the actual coasts. The same goes for smaller rivers that you can spot accurately in the image that have water masks imposed over them that are straight lines.

3) Correcting of the vegetation so that you don't have trees where they don't belong in real life, be it a desert, mountains or like in this case in the polar region.

Yes, they already started to add them with the UK update, I think. And it's certainly a move to the better. I was among those demanding it several times at the official forum.

Kind regards, Michael

I think that is really what MSFS separates MSFS from its competitors. The massive content updates every 2-3 months scenery wise are an incredible effort.
