Notes:

• They introduced the "WorldHub" portal here for community driven airports updates/mods/etc: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1660848226?t=00h42m05s , they are looking for 50 alpha testers for this in the final development phase (at this stage cannot add custom buildings, but have full access to MSFS library of objects)
• Missing information about actual position of jetways in the new SU10 navdata API, fix coming in SU12: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1660848226?t=00h53m30s
• Full weather radar: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1660848226?t=00h54m25s
  • legal and technical aspects being investigated, they will be moving forward on this in whatever way they can, and full answer to come soon after investigations done
• Tool to remove/manage snow on the ground/airports: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1660848226?t=00h55m48s
  • at the moment no such tool upcoming, but improvements coming in SU12
• Mountains and coastal updates morphing: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1660848226?t=00h58m00s
  • SU12 coming with improvements to the terraforming resolution, should fix a lot of these issues

Same as the scenery gateway in xplane.  This is great news!

Ah I'm so excited. This will be very useful for fixing parking spot sizes for AI aircraft, among other things.

Will the World Hub be restricted to airports? No potential to allow world improvements like meshes? (Barring copyright issues)

It’s just airports from the sounds of it.

Huh are they adding glass jetways? Or is that a world update airport

I'm not going to lie, watching their response to this did not give me the warm and fuzzies. I mean, basically they said at this point they don't even know if it's "technically possible". The legal stuff is also frustrating... what kind of contract did they rope themselves into that they can't have any wiggle room to provide an API for this if it does become technically possible. Glad to see they provided more answers, but this is still concerning to me.

well all of meteoblue's data is probably copyrighted or something.

Are there any third party stand alone apps that can provide a weather radar?

Hope this fixes the disappearing / reappearing autogen that happens in many places at low altitudes.
