Finally, the "August snow coverage" at 30 °C (!) in some valleys of the Eastern Alpes of Austria has been removed.

Snow is still there in Zermatt and without Live Weather turned on the satellite imagery is unsightly! After having flown different areas in the alps in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, I’m not impressed. Plenty of blotchy green areas even in key tourist areas like Neuschwanstein Castle; like right behind it! Disappointing that this is what is shipping with 2024! Looks like the Map Enhancement tool will remain installed!

I haven’t seen any glitches yet over extensive parts of Austria. Bern and Salzburg looks very good - great attention to detail. Haven’t been to EDDM yet.

Plenty of it close to Zell Am See. I fly VFR in VR so pretty easy to spot it, but most of Austria looks good.

Bern is ridiculously bad, sorry to say. Colours around Bern are way to green, Photogrammetry is full, and I mean full of 3D Blobs aka trees and the boarder from the photogrammetry area to the rest is clearly visible. I have seriously no idea how this could pass QC. Again.

Also while the overall coverage of Austria is now better, as usual there are local areas that were better before. The area South of Kitzbühel is now aerials from late Autumn or late Winter it seems. Brown colours, first or last snow residue on the Großer Rettenstein. That was better before.

I mean this is up to Bing, and they seem to priroritize images that are newer over whether they are actually better. A good example was the western part of Germany after WU 6 where it got new aerials. Yes, they were newer and I even recognized in which Summer they were taken. But in that particular year we were suffering a severe lack of rain. It hadn't rained in 5 months and so everything was dry. This is how it looks in the sim now. But this is not how this area looks during summer on average.

I meant that the handcrafted airports looks good. I agree, those PG tree blobs are horrendous.

Innsbruck and its famous airport are begging for photogrammetry already also, please.

I mean, it's like that with all Photogrammetry cities.

There might not be one. Doesn’t seem to be one on flightsim.to
