Can't complain, basically east coast is my most flown region and it looks beautiful.

    Most people don't care. It's been an issue since launch, and yet all these updates are still received warmly.

  • Are you just trying to derail this thread by bringing up a completely irrelevant issue?   What on Earth has that got to do with this thread, and this release?  Is that how you entertain yourself?

First shot of the video: a bunch of roos among giant cardon cacti in front of Uluru/Ayers Rock!

Anyone guess what's wrong with that?

A few of shots in: a crocodile in the "Murray Valley National Park"?

Ok, I've seen enough.

Speaking of realism, you may want to check out my fix for Australia's salt/dry lakes ... unless you want to go boating in central Oz.

Yes I noticed the crocodile in the Murray Valley National Park - gave me quite a laugh

Gunther just letting you know - I love 'ya stuff! YKOW and Gosper's (along with everything else of course) being faves! Also thanks for supporting 2020 (OMG I hopefully this comment doesn't start a version war) - but for me 2020 and it's (god forbid) different tree models (rather than the 3D vibrant green models in 2024) provide a far more realistic Australian environment - particularly when used with Acuseason.

When I watch those trailers, I always wonder if some of us really achieve that kind of quality in term of graphisms?

If the answer is yes, then I should really start to save some money for a new PC.

I've got a Nvidia 3080 . I get 80 to 120 fps most areas. No need to upgrade. Mostly high and clouds on ultra. Looks great 👍 

going out tonight in the 500C to see if they have finally got the Bungle Bungle area sorted out - always been a shame that the area was not done well - did many senic flights around that area way back when

Australia has always been one of my favourite areas in the world for flight simming, going right back to VOZ in FSX. You had everything - bush flying, city environments, snow-covered mountains,  long-haul flights (e.g., Brisbane to Perth ), and, being surrounded by sea, you never flew outside the enhanced scenery. It was also nostalgic for me as a one-time resident ( I lived near Parafield, where, as a boy, I first saw something called a Cessna ). Love the place, love the people there, and consider myself an honorary Australian. 😁

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Didn't know NSW had Crocs! HAHA

I spent 40 minutes tooling around just now in MSFS20 Sydney, Darwin, Avalon, Broome, Hobart, and Adelaide. VERY impressed, the textures are very nice. Will definitely not need 3rd party city packages anymore. Flytampa YSSY still working fine too.

The release notes mention Jandakot (south of Perth) as being a major hub for GA,which it is, but sadly Jandakot airport doesn’t seem to be one of updated hand crafted airports included, which is an opportunity missed there I think.

Absolutely agree!  It was the first place I loaded into with the new WU, and was su surprised to see the airport hadn't been covered.   Lots of great things in this WU though.  The area around Sydney is just fantastic now for low and slow sightseeing 😎

You get them from the marketplace, like every single world update since the very first one in 2020.

Just had a quick flight around Perth.  Many melted buildings.  Anything sitting in water like boats and marinas have a horrible dark blobby outline around them at water level.

Have a  high end system, all settings on ultra and wired 1150 mbps internet connection
