The issues I had around Glasgow Airport were down to the Pyreegue EGPF. I'll let the dev know.

No time to find your original post, but what issues were you finding at Glasgow as I'm also using Pyreeque's airport and hadn't noticed anything (other than it's very detailed and would probably take a performance hit on marginal rigs with the new photogrammetry).

    Not everyone installs every world update, so it can be someting you only do once or twice a year. I'm at a certain age where I sometimes forget how to do unimportant things I only do every 6-12 months

  • I keep crossing my thumbs for people finally remembering this for good. After all it's only been the 17th one... 😁

  • My house looks like my house now and not a random town house as it was previously, right down to the recycling bin in the front yard and trampoline in the back garden which we got rid of 3 years ago b

The issues with the Thames have now been officially logged as a bug so should be fixed, you'd think. 

You can vote and add yourself to those affected here (except of course this affects everyone who can see, so .........)

I truly wish that all these mandatory updates were made a thing of the past. Remember the days of FSX and P3D? If you were happy with how your sim was running, then you could simply 'pass' on the update and simply enjoy a stable sim.

I've just had a look and see what you mean.  I wonder if removing the Pyreegue airport and/or ORBX GB North would fix it (though I would rather live with it than replace these two addons).  Are you using either of the above?

Certainly the flat areas in Dublin were fixed by removing the ORBX Dublin city pack.

It's Pyreegue EGPF that is causing the issue. I've let him know and he is working on a fix. Had to do something similar for his EGNX.

This update wasn't mandatory, what are you talking about?

This was a "World Update" Howard, not a "Sim Update".  Only the Sim Updates are mandatory. 

If you want the better UK and Ireland update you have to manually go to the Marketplace to select it and download it.  You don't have to if you don't want to.  Did you download it?

The burnt grass on many parts of the UK means i'm going to roll back on this which is a shame. It's one of those that if you don't live in the UK or fly in the affected areas its not a big deal, but for me i can't fathom why they didn't make the grass green, sure there could of been a way.

There is a cut off point as well in places where it goes from yellow grass to green grass.

I wonder how many places around the world i fly in thinking its ace and somewhere there is a person from there thinking "it doesn't look like this".

I live and fly in the UK. Looks pretty great with default or Bing latest to me. Brown, yellow and 1000 shades of green is what I am seeing. Just like when I look out of a real aircraft window. I only fly south of Watford if that makes a difference.

I flew over southmead hospital Bristol and found it was flattened.  I guessed that the culprit may have been the helicopter landing pad by overripepuma, which it was.  I see it is no longer listed at flightsim.to unless it's under another name.

BTW, overripepuma's other scenerys are really good and well worth the free download.

Southmead hospital looks excellent in WU17.

Regarding EGLC, I am using a freeware version and am having no issues.

been there a lot lately - so I'll be sure to check in out
