I am enjoying WU7 quite a lot and I was thinking what was your opinion on FS World Updates so far. I would place Australia (still, lots to be seen and enjoyed) on top 3, 1 and spots being Switzerland and France, with UK, being a close 4th. 

I am really enjoying Australia, visually it looks even better than previous WU's.

I agree, Australia is the next level. 

Just finished the South East Australia Bush Trip,....it's been a long time since I took so many screenshots,...awesome scenery. (click on pics for Full 4k).

This, I believe, is how MSFS will progress--it will continue to improve steadily as satellite imagery improves as well at photogrammetry.  This is one of the plus-sides of a cloud-based simulator.

I've enjoyed all of them, but the UK was best for me because I live there.

I liked the Benelux update the most and not because it included France.

I think Australia is the best so far for me. The quality is great

Japan is a close second

There are a bunch that aren't memorable for me because either the content doesn't interest me much or the quality is middling.

Otherwise the memorable ones for the wrong reasons 

UK / FRANCE (Melty buildings and in the UK's case overuse of polygons in certain buildings.)

USA for such a large space i feel this one is lacking content.

As an Aussie - it is good to see so many people are liking what they see - but beware

Apart from the sections that are deliberately worked on - ie cityscapes and airports -

most of it is outdated Bing - Eg. I am from the Gold Coast in Queensland which looks great

to the uninitiated - my house that I have lived in for 8 years still in the building stage in the sim- 

and yet the Bing maps of the same area - show it completely up to date - and strangely enough

a few weeks ago - some users were substituting Google in the sim

The area of the Gold Coast they showed - was exactly the same as the Bing - 8 years out of date 🤥

Stay tuned, it will all improve over time 😀

Australia is the best so far.

 

Difficult question for me despite being a South Australian because I love the geographically newer and more rugged US scenery rather than the red and worn Aussie outback. I also love San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Chicago (after I put Miegs Field back). 😀

I don’t know what to make of this question. I have no favorite. I enjoy a WU scenery when I fly one but I don’t select a flight because it is in a WU.

How could I say that the new Australia where I flew a couple of times only, is better than, Switzerland that I flew  much more ? What I saw was better than the MSFS default  is all that I can say, like for any other WU region. 

The WU so far have covered regions which are not badly covered in P3D with Orbx or some dedicated map (cf. Japan). I flew them quite a lot so, in MSFS, I am more attracted to regions where MSFS really shines because they were neglected before.

Unfortunately it is probably the worst for me for the same reason. When it came out I was very pleased but the subsequent world updates have been progressively better and I wish they had left the UK until later. I think they have admitted they would like to revisit it but that will take a long time I fear. 

I really hope there will be a World Update for SE Asia that includes Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong. It can really use an update badly.
