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 ? I totally understand, as I've felt the same way about World Update XI: Canada. I just feel Canada is a very dull boring place to fly compared to the colorful tropical beautiful Caribbean. But hey we now have Canadian and Caribbean WUs so everyone is satisfied.

TFFS and MTCA are a little too short for the 737 I'm flying but MDPP, MKJS, TTCP, MUCL and MYEH are well done and have got a long enough runway. Of all MSFS World Updates, I use BIAR, CYDF, CYFB, EDJA, EDVK, EFIV, EHRD, LDRI, LFMN, LICJ, LIPB, LKKV, LPFR, LSZA, LSZH, LSZR, and now additionally MUCL, MYEH, MKJS, MDPP and TTCP. If I had to buy all those airports, I'd have spent well over 200 EUR. You surely can say a few negative things about the sim (bad snow coverage, sudden changes of sim time inflight, etc.) but it's impressive that we get handmade airports for free even four years after the release of the sim. What a time for our hobby. Just looked it up, I've spent close to 1000hrs in MSFS since NOV21. The next most played "game" was Battlefield 3 back in 2013/2014 with 700hrs. Says everything about MSFS imho...
