Some posters on the forum are saying they’ve noticed other water masks around the world outside the region also vanishing since the WU. Some areas like St Lucia and Barbados look better though and have new water masking. Hopefully it’s just a bug and there’s a fix on the way.
January 31, 20242 yr Bell 47J is included in the update Edited January 31, 20242 yr by History DA B760M PRO4 | i5-13400F | RTX 3060 12 GB | G.Skills Ripjaws 32GB | MSI MAG A550BN | Ace Power 1 TB NVMe | Cooler Master Hyper 212
January 31, 20242 yr Hi, everyone, I visited one of the bespoken airport of the WU Update XVI (MTCA, Antoine-Simone Airport, Haiti) and there is no personnel neither plane. It's deserted! Is that "normal"? Regards.

These 'local legends' are normally good value though. Being a Premium Deluxe owner, they tend to cost me about £8. I normally get them all, but I might give this one a miss as I am not so much into choppers. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

It’s obviously a bit flat to notice the terrain but the satellite imagery and water-masking is definitely improved. St Lucia also looks fantastic. For Barbados and realism try the RNP 09 inbound from BENUK as the ils has been out for a while. You can get a shortcut to ELIXA or they’ll offer a visual also. It’s pretty busy there at the moment with all the cruise flights still coming in and out.
January 31, 20242 yr Just read on the other thread that this update kills all water masks around the world? Is that true?! If so, is it the mandatory base update that kills all water masking around the world? Or is it the actual Carribean WU from the Marketplace? Can't check right now. If it's the base update then I'll have already lost the masks, as I've already installed it. But if it's the WU then I'll avoid installing yet 👍 Edited January 31, 20242 yr by JYW Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • Bluesky Grumman AA5 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-8, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Milviz C310R • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000Former PPL IR, grounded by diabetes.

It does disappear in the Bahamas Cuba Jamaica and possibly the Dom Rep. Outside the WU (but nearby) it also vanishes in the Florida keys and up the E coast. There’s loads of new watermasking in the Eastern part of the Caribbean. so it’s not a total deletion of it. I think it will get fixed soon though? Seems like lots on the official forums are commenting on it.
January 31, 20242 yr TFFS is a pretty intense landing! Per Wikipedia “A special pilot license endorsement is required to land here.” The charts also indicate special requirements as well (including you must have landed there as a co pilot under direction of a qualified pilot before attempting it yourself).

They are in a single folder "finapapproach-caribbean-ttpp-ttcp-tgpy" and there is just a single layout.json. Furthermore, the stuff is encrypted so tweaking is next to impossible. I wasn’t able to separate the three, but I have gotten it to where I can remove them from the sim if I want. For example if I’m flying into Grenada I can remove them and then use the SLH Sim Designs scenery, which is much better.
