Control towers starting to show up at airports where they were missing!

Another forum member noticed that an airfield they frequent suddenly has a control tower.

I just confirmed that for 3 airports I was aware of without a tower… they all now have them.

And there has been an effort to replicate the tower to some degree… at least with a similar shape/sized tower.

This is very cool and shows the advantage of MS being able to update the virtual world behind the scenes and we just get all the new stuff.

So… are there any other airport/scenery changes going on? Anyone see anything else?

Control towers do take a few weeks to grow after planting. :crazy_face:

So if that’s the case… we can expect missing buildings to start sprouting up at any time now!! :laughing:

I think they take quite a bit longer to grow. :wink:

ive been checking and someone forgot to water the mackinac bridge, it is not growing

Probably thought as it was a bridge it was near enough to water… :smirk:

Unlike the trees that start out naked and grow foliage in the few seconds it takes to click Fly.

I’m wondering if they did that to smooth out the performance hit when the sim first loads the flight. I used to have a big FPS dropoff/freeze for about 10-15 seconds… I’d just wait it out before trying doing anything.

Now… I don’t see that anymore. Instead I stop to watch the trees transition from Winter to Spring in 5 seconds… but no more freeze or FPS drop.
