I believe this question was addressed to Martial, which is then a waste of time.  He either seems to misunderstand the question, or says "I need to look into it" (even though he has the chance to view a lot of these questions in advance). 

His responses to the vast majority of the questions was woeful, as usual.  Just look at the DLSS question as a prime example. 
He gives the impression he really doesn't care what the MSFS users are concerned about, while doing it all with that stupid smug a smug grin on his face.

 And people wonder why I don't like him.  He would make a good politician.

He always does this. I always wonder why they even invite this guy ? The guy has absolutely no clue how to deal with customers. He often comes off as very arrogant and mostly never gives a correct reply to the asked question.

Big time. Central Asia, Russia, most of Africa, lots of room for improvement but I’m guessing most of these regions will need to be AI driven more. Not too many high quality scans being done in them I would imagine.

Can’t say I don’t know what you mean, but I’m sure part of it is cultural #gallicshrug

Haven't people been complaining about London PG for a long time? I'm sure a lot of simmers will appreciate this.

Have not had time to look at the entire video yet, but managed to find the UK bit.  Greatly improved DEM, a few extra cities and a remake of London and Bristol will be fantastic.

I have freeware photo scenery for Cardiff which I may no longer need after the update and I think I remember noting that Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dublin have been done, so a few more addons for me to delete.

Shame about Belfast as that could do with some love (not sure why they could not get the imagery for there.

I'm also hoping for some updated Bing Maps, though the Map Enhancement addon is doing a great job so far.

I do hope the additional POIs don't conflict with the ORBX ones but ASOBO are usually careful not to tread on their toes. 

Any other earth suttering news that I haven't seen yet?

I doubt they'll do Russia right now because of the war, because they work with the local governments when doing World Updates. Actually know how Russia usually is, it would probably be a PIA to do a Russia update even if they never invaded.

Jorg said they have photogrammetry data for some African cities, he didn't say which ones.

The last several Q&As a lot of people in chat have been asking about multiple jetways.  They have not been answered as far as I'm aware.  This Q&A Jayne asked the question but combined 2 different issues (i think about ground friction along with jetways).

Does anyone know if this has been addressed before?  I can't seem to remember.  

Wondering if we're going to see them in 2020 or 2024.

Multi-Jetway support will come in 2024, but not at launch. If I understood Martial correctly

Is it made by Aeroplane Heaven again?

They didn't talk about it.

Too bad, I have purchased all of these already. Why don't they choose airports that haven't been done already?

It's good for people who don't have a lot of money.

Farnborough Airport was done because of the airshow next week, if you fly into there on the airshow days it will show up in Air Show configuration. Similar to when they made Paris–Le Bourget Airport for the Paris airshow last year.

They're working on a Brazil world update right now. Jorg said in the Q&A they just got the final city they wanted for Photogrammetry.

But how can they miss Birmingham, the jewel in the crown?

I was thinking Colombia, Argentina, etc... But I will take it!

AH was previously working on a Caravelle a few years ago for P3D and halted work on it. I very strongly suspect that the Caravelle is going to be their product due to this and since iniBuilds was assigned as the provider of the Local Legend (helicopter) coming up. 

Asobo has also said that they have received a lot of positive feedback on AH's other aircraft (note: no idea where they would be reading that from).

New controls settings. On 2024 we will be able to set those for individual planes.

Will they auto-load with the respective addon or do you have to manually change (or am I being Irish again and this already works in 2020 and I still haven't stumbled across it...)? 🤣

I assume the official forums.

Nice bird. Thanks!

Not terribly enthused by another UK / Ireland update. Would rather other regions were raised from ‘meh’ to good rather than revisiting an already good region to raise it to excellent.

I think it goes back to where people fly (and buy addons).

Western EU and US West & East coasts are the global hot spots according to their preso at FS Expo

He also said it depends on the time of year. They want to capture photogrammetry when the weather is nice, no snow and what not.
