Before the update the tree placement was much more accurate. Now there are trees everywhere, trees inside airport buildings, forests where there aren’t any in real life, trees where there should be grass. Trees to the side of runways. The AI did a good job. Rely on AI to do your job. What is this, Amazon effect?

Like all updates, some areas look worse and some add-on airports have been affected with double windsocks or blending with mesh or the surrounding area have been affected. We now need to wait for devs to deliver updates. It's been like this since day one. Thankfully the two areas I care about (Rio & Sao) look good enough to check out every now and then.

Since WU1, MSFS 2020 had a mandatory update. After loading to the main screen, the user had to enter the marketplace, add the WU, buy & download.

For normal purchases, you buy, then wait a minute for the download button to pop up on the same screen, then hit download.

This has not changed since WU1.

You must be thinking of SUs, which are mandatory in MS2020. WUs have always been optional and can be installed or uninstalled at any time.

Is there a working SGBR for MSFS2024?

Just to update on this for anyone wondering, the Vref SBGR appears to be work fine in 2024. I did a quick spawn in and could see no major issues. Currently enroute EGLL-SBGR so will update if that turns out to be wrong!

2020 and I am telling you that I have never gone to marketplace to "buy" the World Updates have always showed up in Content Manager under Not Installed.  

It's how I have done it all along.  

 

 

If it says Not Installed, then it will not show up in your scenery until you install it.  I believe WUs must first be acquired through the marketplace.

I can also disable it. But does it remain disabled after you restart your sim? Because my doesn't...

Or you can click on the files that show as Not Installed and Install them directly from Content Manager. 

Of course if it shows not installed it wont show up in my scenery but I have always clicked on an uninstalled WU and on the right hand side of the screen simply selected install without ever going into Marketplace. 

Don't know what to tell you, I have always selected and installed directly from Content Manager.  If that's not possible then I am somehow defying the laws of physics I guess LOL. 

Here you go, pictures speak louder than words:  This is the process I have ALWAYS followed

My Content Manager shows Updates Available:

Select Not installed:

Then Select the desired Package and simply click Install. 

Has anyone been able to use Paulo Ricardo's SBRJ in MSFS2024? I tried to copy it over from MSFS2020 OneStore folder, but the airport is not shown after loading a flight.

You are correct, WU are optional updates and I am well aware of it. I just did not mention it. Thank you.

It seems it's possible to activate it in my library:

OK, I see what you are saying. Apparently the option to install WUs is offered in Content Manager even without going into Marketplace. I was always under the impression that one had to go to Marketplace first, because that was the standard advice given as to how to get scenery updates installed. But I stand corrected!

Don't worry, you weren't the only person in this thread to tell me it was a fact that I was wrong and couldn't do what I have been doing all along and showed in my pics LOL 😉

I just had my first sighseeing around Rio using Paulo Ricardo's SBRJ. I did also check out the enhanced Asobo SBRJ which I think looks very good. Flying over Rio in the Black Square Bonanza, I had quite a few "wow!" moments - but also a lot of🤦‍♂️(facepalm) moments. So far, I think WU Brazil is a bit of a mixed breed - at least in terms of the Rio region - both awesome and not so good at the same time. 

I saw numerous PG glitches throughout the metropolitan area. And I'm still not a fan of PG objects popping in just in front of me. Which is why I normally leave it disabled. Those hills do look quite spectacular though - the cliff faces in particular. But then again - whenever something looks incredible, there's another glitch around the corner...

The Rio-Niterói bridge has been mentioned earlier in this thread. There are missing portions - but with the Paulo Ricardo scenery, the bridge looks complete - and quite impressive I might add. 

I did take A LOT of screenshots on this short flight. But I'll share just one - probably my favourite:

Both of these Brazilian POI's are in the WU

1930 Christ the Redeemer, at Rio de Janeiro,128 feet high. 

----------

2022 Christ the Protector at Rio Grande de Sul, 140 feet high.

 

Flying towards SBRJ, looking a little stormy. 

 

 

I don't have a problem about how the clouds look in 2024.
