Alaska and World Updates

Can someone tell me whether Alaska was given the WU treatment for terrain and objects?

 

TIA

The short answer is, I dunno.

I gave up Alaska early on as it was subpar. I went back to check these recent days.  I'd say some areas are better, some are the old same. But  Alaska still needs some love.  Generally, it seems has MSFS has a weather problem there, putting snow and ice more or less at random. 

 Where I recently flew with the Cabri (meaning low)

- The Pedro bay (bears !) and, on the other side, the tip of the peninsula south of Homer, the Copper river flying West from McCarthy,  the lake country West of Palmer with its multitude of strips  (PAAQ has no building though !) were rather nicer than I remembered them to be : good artic terrain imagery and mesh at the micro level, no snow. 

- Juneau /Haines/Skagway were awful : the terrain is covered with snow and the fjord with ice (in June !), a large artifact spiking within Juneau, poor mesh. 

- Cordova was covered with snow and fog,difficult to say 😉

Try a different aerial source. I use Arc instead of default bing and its really rather nice, at least for the area from Ketchikan all the way to Juneau.
