8 hours ago8 hr MSFS2020 Map Enhancement has been updated to version 10.0, introducing a new Building Enhancement (Beta) feature for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.The new feature provides updated building data for approximately 700 million buildings worldwide, aiming to improve building coverage and quality compared with the existing simulator building data.For most regions, the updated building data comes from the latest publicly available OpenStreetMap (OSM) data. The existing Microsoft Flight Simulator building data is based on an older OSM dataset from around 2024, so areas where OSM has been updated since then may see noticeable changes.One particularly interesting point is China. According to the developer, the building data for China has received significantly larger updates, so the differences may be much more noticeable than in other regions. This could potentially make a significant difference to how cities and populated areas look in the simulator.The feature does not affect areas covered by Photogrammetry, as those areas already use Microsoft's photogrammetry buildings.Building Enhancement is currently free for all users until October 1, 2026. After that, downloading, updating and using the building packages will require a Pro license.I'm curious to see how much of a difference this makes, especially in China and other regions where the OSM building data has changed substantially since 2024.Has anyone tried it yet?
