I am so happy for our Canadian friends. You deserve it, enjoy it!

It looks great overall. Lot's to explore and see!! One minor point, some of the photogrammetry in the trailer looks a bit on the rough side though.

Bravo!  

[Tuskin38 6,469]

The parking at CYFB is big enough for the traffic AIG has for it, but there's not a lot of spots.

[Dillon 2,197]

Was waiting for this.  Now off to explore!

[John Fields 279]

Hi,

Horrible elevation glicht around Bella Coola!

 

 

[lagaffe 203]

First fly around Quebec and precisely over the Montmorentcy hills: the announced footbridge has been realized 😀
... but the level of the river that feeds the falls is more like the Grand Canyon than the reality. 😡

Morality, the mesh is still completly missed !

Perhaps, Ouest part of Canada is better realized in any case, Quebec is worse than before 👿 ☠️.

report it on the official forums.

[John Fields 279]

Hi again,

I tested again without any add-on content in the community folder. The glitch is there.

The bug is visible from the Bella Coola Airport runway looking to the east. This is not a mesh error in a very remote area, but very close to the airport itself. Bella Coola Airport is new to Asobo for World Update XI. So how come they haven't noticed? They have created the new airport and that's it? Haven't they checked it out? I don't remember there being such an error before.

Regards

My first impressions are very favorable. I flew over parts of Ontario and Quebec, and both areas looked gorgeous and incredibly lifelike. I think Canada is my favorite World Update thus far.

Excellent, really excited to explore some landmarks I’ve seen in real life and the ones i haven’t.  

First time I’ve heard Peggy’s Cove referred to as Peggy’s Point but after googling it apparently it’s a thing.

Pleasant surprise to get both bridges across Halifax Harbour as POIs along with PG for Halifax.
