I heard those rumors as well. But if you tell a german magazine that the next update will cover a place far away, then it's probably going to be New Zealand. Because seen from Germany that is on the exact opposite of the Globe and you can't get farther away.

New Zealand you say?...Hmmm..   🤔....Nope.. I'm not seeing any particular problem with that rumour ....😁.

Australians and New Zealanders are already way too spoiled by third-parties haha.

I know New Zealand in particular has a lot of high quality free (even for commercial use) aerials (7cm) and dems 1m). Bring it on!

@Abriael

In the interview, it says there will be 'standard' versions of the Reno planes available.  I assume that means with a standard flight model and no Reno paintwork.   
I am very interested in those.

The thing is, do you know if we have to buy these 4 on top of the other 40 Reno aircraft?   At the moment, if we want them all, it looks like it may cost $59.99 and $19.99.

I would have thought the more logical (or maybe customer friendly ) way would be to give the 4 standard planes away for free with the 40 Reno planes pack if you buy that one - wishful thinking maybe!

My sister’s hairdresser’s cousin’s gardener’s brother in law says it will be Thailand. Or not. He is not sure.

That was my first thought as well. That or Australia. Also because that neck of the woods seems to be quite popular among simmers, at least that’s the impression I get on the forums. And I can imagine there‘s good data available. On the other hand there‘s already quite a lot of good payware stuff for NZ. So maybe rather Australia. We‘ll see in a few hours.

 Orbx would have had plenty of assets to sell to MS, I suppose, to speed up a WU.

I’ve always wondered if Orbx holding their legacy Oz airports like Coff’s Harbour, Warnervale, Caloundra, Cessnock etc. back was anything to do with an upcoming Australia update. Really hope so, had some great times with those airports in FSX.

To be honest with you I do not know if you also get the 4 stock planes with the full package. They do have a reno paintwork on them but it's more sober, and the model and cockpits look stock.

Thanks for your honest answer.  I suppose we will know in the next few days.  

Jorg also said in the last Q&A that all players will see all Reno planes in the SIM - regardless of ownership or not. 

Personally I don't believe that - maybe he meant we would see those default ones in the 4 pack - being able to see all 40 though hmm - they should do it though, might encourage sells after all.

I did try the racing but not sure if I can comment on it 

The main forums are already complaining about the quality of the update and the state of the new weather engine and the update is not even out yet 😄

It's just normal.  The proof of the pudding will be in the eating, and I intend to have a big portion this weekend.

In my honest opinion, they are just a bunch of Avsim grumpy old reactionary elitists thinly disguised under aliases going there just to say bad things about the new wonderful revolutionary sim.
