The title should be rewrote to "why do we need World Updates when we still have outstanding issues and not playable for me".

Why is it not payable for you?  I fly several hours a day, with no issues at all. Do you have problems with your PC, maybe?

Once again this not a game, this is a Simulator.  Yes the world updates even though they are not mandatory, personally I would like to see some of the fixes that people are complaining about, especially the Traffic  and ATC.

Personally the only problem that I really have is the time it takes to download the sim, so I am a lucky one.

In the World Update X, what is your favorite or recommended area to fly ?  I will give it a shot.

I have just put the update on my system. Couple of quick test flights - Florida Keys, KBID, KATL, San Diego and LA.

So far, I'm beyond disappointed. It may well be that the servers are having issues (although I haven't had any of the usual warning messages) but the photogrammetry is appalling to my eyes. I have removed everything from my community folders (and yes, I've done all the reboot/delete content xml etc stuff) so I know I have no clashes, and my settings are unchanged from before the install, and I think it looks awful in the Keys, San Diego and LA areas.  I'm not entirely sure if those particular areas have been updated, and I usually have a whole bunch of little tweaks in place for those places (along with Bijan's trees), but on my plain MSFS system they look horrible. KBID is ok, but I haven't compared it with the payware version yet. KATL also looked very melty on the smaller buildings, plus it initially gave me a CTD flying over the city centre, although that didn't happen on my second attempt.

I've turned the machine off now, too dis-heartened to continue tonight. What with this and the still seemingly continuing stutters and low frame rates post SU9 I'm beginning to feel a bit let down by MSFS. Still lovely out in the boondocks, but I can't go near anywhere built-up with PG on without wanting to kick my screen in. I've actually had a few XP flights around So-Cal this past week and enjoyed them way more than MSFS, and I didn't expect I'd be saying that by now.

I'll give it a couple of days and try again, and then if it still feels bad I'll maybe remove it. Shame, as some of the POIs (PsOI?) in the video looked interesting.

What are you talking about..it's great 😂

"Take cover! The power station is melting down!"

 

I love  PG but it was awful in the places i looked.   After the fantastic Spain. Portugal and Aus PG the new stuff in the US I saw was pretty appalling, some of the worst in the sim.  I turned it off after a while, and i never do that

Generally speaking why do we need a world update 10 of the US, that is 5 GB's, when we have a Simulator that is almost 2 years old, and has some outstanding bugs, or fixes still out there. 

I would like to see ATC and traffic fixed, than  see some of these World Updates  Don,t get me wrong, I appreciate these beautiful world updates, and graphically the simulator is outstanding, 

Chip in, what are your thoughts and opinions of World Update X ?

 

Do you expect Bing team or orbx 3D modelers to fix ATC and traffic? 😄

i want more eye candy! Yeah, bugs like sweets too, so there's that.......

Another user mentioned potential problems in New York so I took a flight from Laguardia and yes the bridges look like they have curtains hanging down underneath. I might see if I can get unload this update.

Hasn’t it been this way for a long time there?

Anyone seeing any odd behaviour with the PMDG since WU10  ??  [eg. loss of rudder, loss of brakes, flaps indicator needle not moving, strange A/T behaviour]

I will have another try but had a very odd first post WU10 experience last night. Startup/push went fine but after that had issues getting off the ramp! No other things touched config wise except WU10 came in.

After this update I have a lot of stutters... Don't know why because I didn't have any until now...

[brucewtb 247]

As this is not a mandatory update (I assume) it looks like one to skip - like others I don't need another US update.

I took a tour of the Disney World area and that was impressive!

The US needed a great deal of work, and at last, Asobo has done it....I flew all over the West Coast today, it looks great. 

I was ready to dump sim off my hard drive - not now its very good - nice improvement - all about timing I guess 🙂
