We can even start with only updated mesh... MSFS2020, 24, Fenix A320, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, ASUS TUF RTX 5090 ,G.SKILL 64GB 6000MHz CL28

Greece and Turkey together would be better. Personally I think India is way overdue, but I suppose they have to go where the best available data is. Greece and Turkey are a perfect example of the difficulties. Both governments are notoriously protective about aerial data. Only recently Greece has let up a bit and one can now see airports unblurred on Google Maps.

Although I have more reason than most to look forward to more Japan data, I have to agree that other parts of the world should be prioritized now. Completing the Mediterranean set with Greece and Turkey would be ideal, but as you say, governments being what they sometimes are, hat may be a challenge. I’m old enough to remember the Greek government imprisoning Arma 3 devs for getting a bit too familiar with the topography of one of their islands, so… i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea

That was a disgrace. Let out and cleared eventually when their lawyer proved to the judge that similar pictures were freely available in aircraft magazines. Madness at the time. I am shocked we even have a rendition of Skiathos in MSFS, but different times now hopefully. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

Yeah according to Jorg, Türkiye has their own photogrammetry data, but the Government doesn't want it hosted on severs outside of the country. So he wants to see if Microsoft can get server space in Türkiye and if that will be satisfactory for the government. Edited September 25, 2025Sep 25 by Tuskin38

It depends on popularity, how easy it is to get data for the country, and if the governments of the countries are cooperative. Like I doubt we'll ever see a China world update, or South Korea.

September 25, 2025Sep 25 Man, people were fine with FSX/P3D offering just a plausible world with mediocre graphics at its best. Many spent thousands in scenery. Today we have a sim that is giving us the world (most of it anyway) as it is in real life for free, and we dare to complain. 😏 Edited September 25, 2025Sep 25 by CarlosF Windows 11 - Samsung 990 Pro M.2 | Asus Prime Z690 | i7 12700KF HT | DeepCool LS520 SE | MSI 5070 Ti Ventus OC | 64GB G.Skill XMP II | Lian Li 216 LANCOOL RGB | TrackIr v5 | Honeycomb Alfa - Bravo - Charlie | MSFS 2024 - Samsung 990 Pro M.2 | Curved 27" MSI | JBL Quantum 810
