August 22, 20241 yr Germany, Austria and Switzerland Scheduled for today and these things normally get released at 1600Z unless MS or Asobo pull it at the last minute. WU17 was actually released early, so I do wonder if this one might be released a little earlier than 1600Z - it would certainly ease the pressure on the servers if it was. This one looks very exciting to me and it looks as if it is going to be as good as WU17.

August 22, 20241 yr Can’t wait! WU17 could very well be the best so far. Yesterday I flew over the Austrian and Italian alps, and there’s a lot of sharp transitions in the ground textures. Hopefully WU18 will be significantly better. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

August 22, 20241 yr Downloading. Can't see the release notes though. Seems they linked WU17 in the announcement https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/release-world-update-xviii-germany-austria-and-switzerland-now-available/652753 EDIT: Fixed now.

August 22, 20241 yr Hi, I've installed the update. And I've flown above Berlin, and it's half melted, similar to the first version of London! By the way... with things floating! Anyone with the same issue, or it is just me? Regards Edited August 22, 20241 yr by John Fields

In general, for photogrammetry buildings/objects to render fully, TLOD must be high enough and your connection to the MSFS servers must be good enough. I haven't tested Berlin yet. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

Well...
August 22, 20241 yr I'm concerned about the Munich Airport, I already own the Aerosoft version will they overlay since the airport was not a separate install? Bern-Belp and Salzburg Airport look great but no aircraft are parked there. Darryl

I’ve seen people having this kind of issue because of the rolling cache. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
August 22, 20241 yr Hi, again! It better now. I have raised TLOD and OLOD and also other parameters to ULTRA (but FPS down, I'm afraid). But things have improved significantly. Thank you, Cpt_Piett and ca_metal! Edited August 22, 20241 yr by John Fields

The new EDDM was very much a seperate install. Just type in EDDM in your Content Manager and deinstall the Microsoft one.
