Yeah, I too am seeing weird stuff lately... try an IFR flight from EGLL to LFPG for example. Also, with the enhancement tool active, many Asobo's custom watermasks do not appear. I ditched also this utility for the time being. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

Yes, I'm using the paid version, just paid for a month to start with, but will pay for a year once my present subscription runs out. I think the Apple pro files look best for me, mostly flying low in the UK. Pretty cheap to try it for a month, and they use paypal, so no giving out card numbers.

Mikr No. When you run the map enhancer it overrides the default by inserting itself at the interface where the sim talks to the map server. So when you use it, it calls the map enhancers choice instead of the default service.

July 1, 20241 yr Yep, you can preview the tiles from any of the available sources, to compare the different versions.

July 2, 20241 yr A word of caution/concern: I do a bit of freeware scenery development from time to time, and for my latest project (continental U.S.) decided to use the new Bing maps "enhancement", since it offers much better imagery for the area I was interested in. When I went back to test my newly developed airport with the default MSFS imagery I noticed to my consternation that my entire airport was 2-3 metres offset against that default imagery. Not a good look! I have not tested this anywhere else yet, so maybe it's a local aberration, but if this applies more generally it could affect a lot of existing add-on scenery, especially when looking towards 2024.
