Coral reef and shallow sea topography

Coral reef and shallow sea topography should be visible under clear waters. It’s a great simulator, but it could be better and it can be done. Google Maps have the sea topography available all across the globe. The shorelines and coral reefs are so clear. Bing maps could do better.

Thanks.

Tropical waters, coral reefs, and boats and dock underwater need to be FIXED!
Asobo/MS & Bing can do this :roll_eyes:

While some coral reefs are depicted nicely in MSFS, one of the most famous coral reefs in the world, the 250km long Ningaloo Reef off the coast of Western Australia, is completely missing. This is especially unfortunate as this coral reef is located only a few hundred meters from the beach, in most parts, which makes flying in this very popular tourist area a totally unrealistic experience.

There is detailed satellite imagery of it visible on Bing maps, so data is available.

Not just our large Australian flight sim community would appreciate the addition of this significant 'land’mark, which gets visited by more than 200.000 tourists every year.

Thanks for looking into it!
