Seems to me Asobo is including anything and everything in World Updates.

But not big code updates. That's just scenery/cosmetics and AIRAC cycle update.

Oh my ... 😧

Just updated MSFS and installed the hand crafted LPFR Faro airport and what can I say... was this scenery made by Gaya?

Cause the runway is lacking ALL markings beyond the aiming point, the aiming point position is wrong, the touchdown zone markings before the aiming point are partly missing and misplaced and previous Gaya sceneries had the same issue.

This company releases sceneries since years now and still, they simply do not take a couple minutes time to go to chartfox.org, type in the ICAO code of the airport they want to recreate for MSFS or simply look on google maps to see what the runway and their markings looks like.

 

Not complaining about a free update in good freeware quality but the lack of accuracy in - as far as I can see - all of Gaya's sceneries (if LPFR is created by them) is a clear red flag for me when they release payware airports for MSFS 🚩🚩🚩

Well, I started out with live weather, and I was flying at 9,000 feet and seeing spots of the ground and a cloud deck. I decided that this was stupid, because I wanted to see the new scenery, so I switched to the scattered clouds preset. The scenery looks great. 99% of the time I do fly with real weather.

This has transformed Portugal? The woods, forests and countryside look so much better. Is this my imagination?

Yes, although... MFS is a bit of an "hairy sim" 🙂

Those big and "promiscuous" trees all over the place are a bit overdone 😁

DJJose,

 

just flew around LEMD / Madrid and couldn't see any of those artifacts.

It was cloudy / rainy though - Live Weather.

Dont need Dusk for that. I saw it the other day in the early afternoon... so it was happening before this update.

Hi, 

These artifacts near Madrid were there before WU 8. I think it is caused by an addon (I think it is Bijan ships or marinas or someting like that, I can’t remember now). 

Another thing: some of the cities of this update appear to me very “melted” (Lisbon or Tenerife, for instance).

Regards.

I dont know why Asobo insist in such a complicate way to update MSFS.- In this case, once you initiate the sim,  it  first sends you back to the M.Store, where you must find the way to find the update, which is not easy and diferent each time, second you must download a mandatory update from the sim itself. So why updates can't I be downloaded everytime from within the game as happens at all other games ?

I suspect you mean Bijans Islands,Boats,Huts,Trees  Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out now with that disabled.

As for the PG, the first place I flew today was Lisbon and it was as good a PG as I've seen.  Very crisp, no LOD  pop-in, not melted.  Possibly an internet issue on your side or something sever side?

 

EDIT:  Removal of Bijans Islands, boats etc mod solved it.  Thanks you!

Maybe gradually the whole world will lose the roundish mountains as Asobo updates regions little by little. I bet Italy will get this new detailed LOD in the next update.

Wow, that would be something. Scenery wise that pretty much covers it, for me anyway.
