Define "excellent", I have 800-1000 Mbps download rate and never any issues with PG. Around NZWN yes, but I am sure this will be fixed sooner or later by Flightbeam. 

I have 150Mbps download, more than capable. Having 800 or more is not a prerequisite for PG to run perfectly. For example before I moved to my new house I had 30Mbps and could run the game with no problems - the issue I had back then was that I was using a 1660 GPU and it wasn't capable of giving me the frames I needed on top of PG usage.

I read on the MSFS forums before that it was a server issue from MIcrosoft anyway, not related to your home setup. Its not a major issue for me anyway so if it ever got fixed then great but right now, meh.

I had an issue with loading into NZAA from Flightbeam until I removed this freeware scenery - lswainstudiosnz-airport-nzar-auckland.

Just thought it might be worth mentioning in case you have these sceneries.  Could help.

Don’t think I do but I’ll double check.

thanks Jase👍

The mesh fence in those messed up images above looks suspiciously like the fence from the freeware Milton Sound addon from a year or two back.

if you leave that installed you will definitely get a mess.

Yes that's the one !!

Overall, I'm not impressed from this update. Rural areas and especially the mountains don't meet my expectations compared with other WU areas. Cities (PG) look fine but nothing near overwhelmed. I also see quite a lot of mesh issues (spikes) around NZQN.

Out of curiosity, do you have inibuild‘s NZQN installed? On my end the spikes seem to have appeared only after the latest patch of said airport. Or I was just lucky before the patch.

Are you sure WU12 is actually installed, and listed as such in Content Manager? I have been checking out the whole country, from Stewart Island to Cape Reinga, and to me it looks fantastic. In past years have been to both of those (and many other places in NZ) in person, and the degree of realism I am seeing in this scenery is very impressive in rural as well as urban areas. The photogrammetry in the latter is especially nice. As for NZQN, I see no spikes anywhere in the area. And Queenstown looks spectacular.

Anyone seeing an issue with Flightbeam NZWN? 
There are visible straight lines in the water here with dark and lighter sides, amongst other anomalies.

It may have nothing to do with Flightbeam NZWN. Just saw this:
