next world update?

Featured Replies

any idea? i just been flying the midwest from KSGF/KPVU and it looks like it needs a world update bad.

I haven’t seen anything, but I would love an update for Utah to cover the Big 5 National Parks there. Some of the most distinctive landscapes anywhere in the world and they don’t look great in the sim.

Anywhere outside of the US please. India, maybe.

It all depends on how easy it is to get data. That requires government cooperation as well.

I know and you aren't going to get much help from India, unfortunately.

Turkey and Greece would be nice.  The images and DEM in these areas are awful.

South Korea might be interesting too.

There are many other parts of the world that would also be nice, but MS can't seem to get the data (e.g. Africa, Russia and China).

Or Cornwall, in great detail 😉

Greece, Turkey, and South Korea are the top three places I would love to have too. I also look forward to when they add PG for the Rhine River from Mainz (also Wiesbaden) to Koblenz, Bath in England, new PG for Paris, and the Loire Valley in France along with Avignon, Orange and Arles in an expanded Provence; in the US definitely Utah and finishing Hawaii which was their original intent.

I would think they could get the required data for those areas so I didn’t include other countries that might be out of reach such as Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt and Morocco or additional countries in South America such as Peru, Columbia and Chile. The issue with Greece and Turkey, as stated by Jorge, is that the data can’t physically leave the country and must reside on a server within each respective country. He said that is something they’ve considered doing so there is hope. 
 

Edit: Also Lyon and Manchester definitely should have PG.

Getting rid of all blurry textures, cloud shadows, and other scenery texture glitches would be my choice for a world update.

There is a freeware for Bath (By Mark Taylor) which is very good (Roughly where you start the approach to EGGD). It's quite old but works perfectly.  I've been using it for a long time.  There is also another for Lyon  (ByThalixte) which I also use.

There are also a few freeware adons for Manchester by Skell which are worth having and of course Samscene3D if you don't mind paying a small amount (Not photogrammetry, but they do help).

Canary Islands would be ok also.

The south west peninsular, in great detail, would be fantastic...and the Lake District and the Highlands and Islands and...and...😇

I wouldn't be surprised if the next World Update is announced in the April dev Q&A

I imagine South Korea is unlikely for national security reasons and possibly competing mapping companies. Not even google has that great coverage there.

Turkey

Jorg brought up Türkiye in a previous Q&A. Apparently they have their own Photogrammetry data, but the government doesn't want that data hosted outside of the country. Jorg mentioned the possibility of buying severs in country to host it.
