January 31, 20242 yr Seems to be a widespread thing, affecting even other countries' water masks (e.g. Australia / Japan).

January 31, 20242 yr Just did the update... one of my favorites was the NW corner of Andros Island (Bahamas). The coral there was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! It's all gone. 😔 This has to have been a conscious decision to proceed with the release without the water masks. But OMG, the wrong decision IMHO. The MSFS Product Msnager needs to polish his resumé. This update is a sick joke.

There's simply no way this went out with nobody noticing all the water masks were broken. I agree it was not intentionally turned off, but I believe it had to be intentionally released despite the state it's in.

January 31, 20242 yr Still downloading at pathetic speed (1-2 Mbps)... Water masks only in the trailer... Forum down for hours, probably for a flood of complaints... Errors in the release notes... All normal 🙂 P.S. Yes, despite all, MSFS is still the best option on the market. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

But obviously that was a very poor decision. To release an update for a region that is famous for its corals, reefs and tropical waters and then break the water masks altogether is just absurd. And I relate to what was said somewhere else: I couldn't care less for some tiny custom buildings in remote places I will most probably never see from the air (unless I make a specific scenic tour - but I would only do that once). What I do always see from the air when flying around the Caribbean is water. A lot of water that now looks totally dull. The water is what should look appealing when flying around a region like the Caribbean. That is what they sould have focused on. Edited January 31, 20242 yr by RALF9636

January 31, 20242 yr Hi, everyone, Obviously, there is a big difference between what Asobo announced with the video and the reality of the update. Regards. Edited January 31, 20242 yr by John Fields
January 31, 20242 yr If you bring this up in the official forum, be careful not to be flagged out by the community.... 🤣🤣 Tapani Österberg
January 31, 20242 yr At least Saint Barthélemy have new water mask. There are hundreds of sunken boats and ships around the island.

What internal testing? If there is a department doing this, I am surprised by the amount they don't see. With this and the slow download speeds, I can only shake my head. I will comfort myself by reading that wonderful technical report they released on slow download speeds a few weeks ago, explaining why it happened the last time, and how it wouldn't happen again.

January 31, 20242 yr Commercial Member Hmm, how is TNCM and TJSJ looking? wondering if it is worth 12GB of download for me since this is the areas I fly the most.. R. Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3
