I would love to see Poland, with maybe Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia added in.  That would be a great update also.

Hmmm … after Greece maybe ? I’d say they have started the Balkans, let them finish the work 😉.

I strongly suspect that Poland will get a World Update of its own soon. Poland has lots of gorgeous scenery and lots of POIs.

They either don't have the data because Kaczor and his government didn't give them access, or they looked at the activity stats in the region and decided there's not a lot going on in that area in the sim.

Had a quick flight over Budapest, photogrammetry is quite recent, but i see strange things about ground elevation. Some roads are almost as high as the buildings, and close to Duna it's kind of hilly. Is it a problem on my side? Already cleared cache.

I took a tour of Sarajevo in the slowly-flying DC-3. I felt as if I were really there. I love the new update. Now, on to Dubrovnik!

can you give some pictures/locations? I'm not noticing anything strange.

Edit: I think i found what you meant. Looks like elevation issues

Hope they do not follow such bizarre criteria...

Balkans after the storm, they really added in the 2024 realistic cataclism factor in this update🤣.

You'd be surprised, Poland is one of the few countries in Europe that has a large amount of consistent geographic open data available for everyone, for free. These include laser scanned town/cities (photogrammetry), high resolution LiDAR, aerial imagery, detailed map data, etc... I was amazed to find this out, as it wasn't at all what I would have expected ;)

I don't really like how Poland looks in MFS, the aerial imagery quality isn't great and it's absolutely covered in trees everywhere where there shouldn't be trees, so it could really do with a makeover, but agreed that likely there is either not much activity in this region, and it's probably of limited interest to people in other areas.
