World Update XV: Nordics & Greenland Trailer

[David Mills 4,773]

I concur with @lwt1971: The CN Tower -- and Toronto as a whole -- now look amazing from any distance and angle. Keep in mind that today's World Update XV does not contain the fixes for Canada and New Zealand even though they were all released concurrently. You must additionally go to the Content Manager and download the Canada and New Zealand updates completely apart from the Nordics and Greenland package. Do that, and the CN Tower will look great. In fact, I think I spotted @lwt1971 in the revolving restaurant as I flew past.

Is anybody in Sweden seeing any updates to the dem? I don't see any difference in dem or any new aerials, but I see some POI. Perhaps overloading of servers again. 

(I have installed the new WU and updates to the old Nordic WU in case anybody asks 🙂 )

EDIT: Working now! 🙂

Have the aerials been improved?

How do I get 1.35.16.0? Currently have 1.35.14.0 and happily downloading???

Yes for some parts of sweden. Same aerials as Bing maps. Looks good and the dem is much improved 👍

With MSFS, I feel like every day is Christmas. I was still marveling at the enhanced performance and visuals in the new SU 14 beta, and now the latest World Update comes along!!!

The new DEM over Sweden is a major improvement 👍

I feel like a kid at Christmas because I'd just planned some Greenland flying, and picked up the excellent MK airports package, along with the Dash 7, etc.  Then this update drops!  I already fly in Denmark most commonly after my home turfs of the UK and Ontario, Canada.  I just love flying in Denmark, small enough to cover plenty of ground, even in a smaller aircraft, but with lots of variation; the big city of Copenhagen contrasted with the farms, fields and plains of Jutland.  It's a little treasure in the sim.  I love Sweden IRL too but haven't explored it yet in MSFS.   Norway I did to death during the Orbx Norway era in FSX 😎 Must go back there in MSFS.   Happy days!

I would have liked that in this update Asobo had used their magic to bring back to life the now closed ENNK Narvik airport, Framnes,  as they did with Kai Tak, Hong Kong and Merrill C Meigs Field airport at Chicago.

Nuuk has its new runway, but the hangars seem to have rock piled up against them, almost like snowdrifts.

I LOVED ENNK Narvik airport from the FSX/P3D era. One of my top 3 favorite airports. Miss me some Narvik, and I agree it would be great to have a decent or better rendition in MSFS.

Maybe a cache issue on your end?

I don't use cache.

I am on LOD 100.

Woooheeey!!! 😃😃😃

Thank you soo much to Asobo & Microsoft!! for updating "my" region and also giving it a real Boost.

 I am from Norway(in Scandinavia region) , looks like next Flight will be *Very GOOD* 

New DEM and new photos/satelite picture-ground 😲😀😀 wooohoo.. some of the shots from the trailer looked spectacular wow.. the Artic is really looking like Snow/ice/glaciers now how cool...

No to be big demanding, but there is also a beatiful Fortress(Akershus Fortress) especially when it is Evening, quite close to the Cruise-harbour area in Oslo-fjord and quite famous, when they made a TIN city *as Oslo the Capital of Norway*, why did they not "also include" such a famous Landmark from Gaya(the castle experts) 😮😮

Maybe it is included in the Photogrammetry area, But I think such a famous landmark of Oslo, should have been modelled by the Gaya 3D artists.. 😃

Happy to hear that Toronto has been improved... the same can not be said about Vancouver...

I have quickly again deleted "PG Cities" in the Canada World Update and gone back to Samscene3d.
