The water masks around Nassau has been removed.😶  Although partially done some islands had great masks that are now gone.  I was looking forward to the masks in the Caribbean finally getting completed not deleted (what was their at least).😔  Anyone else seeing this.

have you closed and restarted the Sim before looking? if not try that

Huh, that is odd. You can still seem them on the world map, but loading in, they're not there.

There should really be some truth_in_advertising law requiring them to release the exact specs/settings etc. used for these videos. Have yet to see anyone else post anything nearly this good and/or fluid in flight with those graphics...

Probably not for recording this footage. They have special tools for capture and all that.

MSFS 2024 😀 Pretty sure the slow download is a client issue, hence why

 

a) it's not fixed and won't ever be in 2020

b) one of the reasons they are doing 2024

Download was significantly faster for me. I do have a 1gb FTTP service, but even with that prior to this update it would still crawl along at 5-60mbps. Today was over 430mbps, and rattled in just under 5 mins.

About 12 minutes from USA East coast (KDTW) time zone.

I tried downloading, it was so slow it was ridiculous, but then i turned my VPN on, and choose USA for virtual IP, it downloaded in less than two minutes. Go figure. And I am in Croatia.

I removed the Caribbean update to get the masks back but they’re gone for good now even without the update.  So this is a huge step backwards for islands like Nassau.  Now I’m downloading again.  We were so close even the Turks had amazing masks.😔

I just downloaded at 150Mbps and it only took a few minutes for me, in USA.  There are many variables that determine what speed you get. ISP, network congestion, router. etc

It's weird because the masks are in the trailer.

Make a bug report on the official forums.

I kind of wonder about these updates.  While I appreciate that we actually have had 14 WU's, I really feel like they focus is not where it should be.  I would rather have upgrades to the areas where we fly.  I am sure many of us will take up a slow GA plane to check out the sites once or twice but the reality is we are flying between airports and its the scenery along the flight path and the endpoint airports that needs the major updates.  Do others feel the same way ?
