Haha nice.  How is the Germany update for you guys (in Germany)?  I don't have the SSD space (sheeesh I've used up 1 TB almost already between leftover XP11, Call of Duty and MSFS).

Instead I believe someone at Microsoft ate too many frankfurters before designing this WU6 update process. Thought it halfway through and then had to leave to take care of inflating personal issues....

The photogrametry in Frankfurt is the best I have seen so far as well.

Gude! Why does your screenshot look like a WW2 aerial view colorwise?

Yeah it was too dark.

In FS, there's some very nice POI's to see in Yosemite, and along the Nile.

But for one sight for sore eyes after another, beautiful downtown Frankfurt!

Someone in another thread mentioned that the WU6 Frankfurt looks a lot like the ORBx Landmarks Frankfurt City pack.....

Thats interesting as it doesnt seem like you can buy that pack now on Orbx's site any more.

You may be right but it would be odd if an exact representation of something by two different developers did not look much the same, wouldn't it? Not to mention this from the release notes.
Of course, to be able to read these, one has to own and use MSFS.

Reminds me of this that an ATC friend shared that is related to Frankfurt from the 70:ies (?) - from http://www.eaa67.org/Miscellaneous/jokes.htm:

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land."

A classic - I was thinking of putting it up myself before I saw you'd beaten me to it!

…. and the other classic….

Frankfurt Radio is very busy and a Lufty pilot finally snaps on the RT- “I am a German pilot, flying for a German airline, at a German airport in Germany. Why am I forced to speak in English?”

Theres no hesitation, but a very British voice comes over to say, “Because you lost the war, Old Boy,” A moments silence followed…
