The July 27th is the big sim update 5 (Performance Plus) I think I misinterpreted the start with "Our PerformancePLUS flight has officially taken off"... Thought they had released it now but I guess that's only for the MS Store beta testers...

Maybe it's a misprint and it should show $1.99..... Simmarket is full of those single-city lit up buildings. I can't believe it but there seem to be enough people spending money on it.

July 1, 20214 yr The marketplace gets so much word not allowed it’s a shame. Atlanta Night lighting lol. La Gomera imagery. Not like we don’t have this already in the sim for free Lukas Dalton

July 2, 20214 yr Funny but I don't think I've agreed with any of the winning screenshot choices. My choice from the ones presented would probably be BobbyFuzzy but I also do like the evocative charm of Parorng's image.

LOL I've got to ask one of our resident Atlanta members @Bobsk8 will you be forking out 20 bucks to improve Atlanta's night lighting!?! 😂😂😂 I'll be honest with you, if a London lighting pack appeared and it improved the lighting significantly, then yes I would pay 20 bucks because I know I'll fly there quite often but it's a money grab for sure.

Not going to happen. I'll just pretend there is a power failure in Atlanta, when I fly over it.
