August 5, 2025Aug 5 Does this "digital twin" as far as ground texturing goes mean that MSFS 2020 will also get different seasonal textures?
August 5, 2025Aug 5 So, flying the 172. The 'highway in the sky' magenta rectangles are interesting and nice, but I would like the option to turn them off. I don't really want them on all the time. Haven't found how to turn them off... yet. Otherwise, all is very well after the update.

August 5, 2025Aug 5 What exactly are the Content Manager world updates? If they are all PG, then I do not need to bother.

We'll share an official update as soon as testing is complete. Awesome Rgr that. Thank You Sir & Happy Landings
August 5, 2025Aug 5 So all this hype about them breaking 2020 turned out to be nonsense because now we have updated maps and better textures than we had before. As I said before, I think the water tile issues have gotten worse, but hopefully they’ll fix those. I know they probably want all of us on 2024, but I think they also know some of us won’t bother on any sim if one is broken and the other doesn’t perform well.

I think the seasonal textures in 2024 are just a hue shift or something that's done on a fly, not separate textures. So I doubt it. Edited August 5, 2025Aug 5 by Tuskin38

With SU16, both versions of the sim now use this newer data source instead of MSFS 2024 having the updated Bing Maps imagery and MSFS (2020) using an outdated map dataset. Thanks, SeedyL, MSFS Community Manager Prior to SU16 I was using the MapEnhancement tool with the "Enable High LOD" option enabled in order to get the latest version of the Bing maps in MSFS 2020. I understand that now with SU16 the "Enable High LOD" option no longer works. But if SU16 is now using the latest version of the Bing maps, it sounds like I don't even need to use the MapEnhancement tool at all to get the latest version of the Bing maps.

Yep, Map enhancement is now obsolete.
