I'd be disappointed if they replaced the current imagery in Switzerland with the new one they have in Bing Maps which seems to have been taken in autumn. If I remember correctly they said in the last dev stream that they were updating the imagery for 2024. While this is generally good, I hope they stick to Swisstopo's imagery for Switzerland.

In Bing Maps London already has new photogrammetry. Half a year ago when I last checked it was only partly new PG. So the update might not be that far off.

That‘s great news. I‘m normally not that interested in long-haul aircraft, but this one sounds very promising.

I've been using it on every flight since GSX came out, and yes, there are a few occasional bugs, but overall I think it works really well and adds a lot to the immersion. One thing I do hope gets improved one day is the passenger animations. They just look dated compared to other games, and also compared to Asobo's animations. Another thing that's a little annoying is when the pax walk through each other. I guess that's not easy to fix and I'm aware that FSDT is not a big game studio, but still...

Yes, of course. I was just talking about the Q&A sessions. It can be a bit frustrating to watch at times when questions aren’t properly answered, not only in his case, that’s all. But at the end if the day it‘s not that important.

I‘m not so sure. I think it was Matt from Working Title or someone else who works with him who wrote very positively about him on this forum. I think it is the language. He often seems to misunderstand the questions and struggles more than the others to get his point across in a concise and coherent fashion. Maybe an interpreter would help. No disrespect to Martial (I wish I could speak as well French as he speaks English), but it would probably make things easier for all of us. Or maybe he could just prepare his answers more carefully.

To be fair, he didn‘t say „areas other than Malta“ but areas they’re not aware of. He used Malta as an example. He also said Malta was „ONE of the affected areas“, so they‘re clearly aware that there‘s more. I guess he meant areas that haven‘t been documented yet in the respective thread or directly reported to them. But I agree, he wasn‘t very clear there. I wish he‘d been a bit more specific about how and when they‘re going to fix it as well. It sounded as if it was an easy fix and that it won’t happen again when rolling out future world updates, but a little more info would have been nice.

The best news for me is that they finally found the reason for the tiles popping/ swapping. Apparently it wasn’t that easy to find, but the way Jörg described it, I doesn’t seem to be too difficult to solve the problem, so I hope that we see this fixed soon.

Thank you for the advice. Will try.

I had to do a clean install of my Windows the other day and now I‘d like to reinstall MSFS. Since I still have all of my MSFS files on a separate drive, I‘d like to do this without having to redownload everything. Does anyone happen to know how this can be done?

Very disappointing that they didn‘t really talk about the tile swapping bug. In my perception this is one of the most widely debated and highly voted issues of the last couple of months and not addressing it leaves the impression that they don‘t want to talk about it, maybe because there‘s no easy universal fix. Tin foil hat on: Maybe fixing it takes a complete replacement of the imagery so they’re just waiting for new imagery to come in which they then implement as part of the world updates (cf the latest WU which seems to have fixed it in that area). If that was the case, it would be a long wait.

I hope to hear more about new MSFS 2024 features and a proper explanation of the tile changing bug and how/when they are going to fix it.

Let‘s hope. It would be disconcerting if they left this unaddressed. This has been one of the most widely discussed topics of the last few months.

This program looks very promising and I really hope this will finally be a valid alternative to Vatsim. I understand that Vatsim is probably the most realistic ATC experience for flight sim, but it’s just not for me. Not only because it‘s a bit daunting to get started but also because I don‘t want to spend a full flight monitoring my flight. I prefer being able to do other things while on cruise altitude. A good offline alternative would be great.
