Indeed, and I wouldn’t mind that at all … but the “update” process is very bizarre. I select “download” and it shows a progress bar and stops at about 5% with 200KB (out of XYZ GB) and just stays there making one think it hasn’t finish downloading. So when I click on the progress bar area that seems stuck at 5%, it switches to “Ready to Install”? So what happened to the other 95%? From there I click the Install button at the bottom of the screen and get “Installing” progress wheel which only takes a few seconds. This process is repeated for any and all “updates” available. I don’t know what they were thinking when they came up with this UI for updates, but it’s definitely on my top 5 list for worst UI ever created … the design is clearly created by a developer that doesn’t have much experience with UI design and not a dedicated UI resource (larger companies typically will have dedicated UI/UIX resources). 1. When using the download option why show an incorrect progress bar duration? If it’s not downloadable then why present the option at all, just install the small 200KB update file. 2. Given that this update is free, why do I have to go to the “Marketplace” at all when I’m not buying anything and this is part of the “base content” … what’s the point of sending me thru this process? Just update it, these are all part of the “official” content anyway. I can’t say this is due XBOX/PS5 compromised UI, it’s just a bad UI. Anyway, it’s a nice update, so glad Asobo made it available.

March 23Mar 23 Took a flight from Rotterdam via Den Haag to Amsterdam, and was very pleased. Photogrammetry was especially sharp in Rotterdam - even PG wind turbines or high voltage pylons were in a recognizable shape, which was a first for me. They also introduced some new autogen types (typical churches, greenhouses and row houses with those typical gables). Just the live traffic ships in Rotterdam harbour were off as usual, and some addon seems to conflict there too.

The overall impression is superb, if you go nitpicking, less so, but that is not what photogrammetry, or TIN, is about at all. Note that the image quality has been degraded. The direct link is much better quality: https://i.postimg.cc/m2YJv6xv/719.jpg Edited March 25Mar 25 by Reader
