August 5, 20214 yr For those of you who are wondering what Switzerland is going to look like after World Update 6, go to Bing Maps and check it for yourself. The have updated their imagery and DEM and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Crisp image, not a single cloud, all images taken in the same season and very accurate DEM so that every mountain is recognisable. As Neuman confirmed in the last Q&A, the data is from Swisstopo (Federal Office of Topography). The screenshots below show that the new Bing imagery is indeed from Swisstopo. Here’s some more random impressions. This is what we can expect in August! Now I only hope that the morphing won’t be too awful so that we can really appreciate this beautiful scenery. i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2
August 5, 20214 yr I love VFR around the Swiss Alps, flying through and up the valleys can be an utter delight (well it was before SU5...) in VR. Having visited the country four times as a child it holds a special place for me, looking forward to the update.

August 5, 20214 yr Looking forward to this one. I'm hoping my local airport of Sion gets some attention as well as local landmarks and dams. Edited August 5, 20214 yr by steve310002

I used to fly this area a lot with the old FSX and custom aerial imagery. I haven't done too much flying in MSFS (some), but now will hold off just a bit longer.

Wow, I just googled Sion, that's quiet the site to behold. You live in quite a scenic place my friend. Edited August 5, 20214 yr by Alpine Scenery AMD 5800x | Nvidia 3080 (12gb) | 64gb ram
August 5, 20214 yr They should use this area as a sort of reference for tweaking graphics things to make the overall game look as real as it gets. The architecture in itself is a MARVEL, but the scenery - man. Edited August 5, 20214 yr by Alpine Scenery AMD 5800x | Nvidia 3080 (12gb) | 64gb ram

It's a nice place especially if you like hiking and wine (lots of vineyards). I live about a 15 minute walk to Sion airport and most evenings walk up the hill next to the airport where there are some great views of the runway. The only problem is the constant noise most mornings of the endless private jets and helicopters taking off and waking me up 😂
August 5, 20214 yr Love flying through Switzerland and Austria using the DEM from flightsim.to along with a few freeware airports. Really looking forward to WU6 provided that it does not break anything. Sion is a lovely area to explore flying through The Valleys along with the beautiful Austrian Tyrol.

Thanks Shack, I hope the colors will be all right too. The Alps suffer from a cartoonish green in many places. Its going to be a ball to fly in Switzerland.
