Glad I’m on holiday!
I cannot agree more. How on earth can you skip AMALFI…

Italy or Malta?
Enjoy!

They are artificially large for a reason. If they reduce tress to realistic sizes then forests won’t look like forests any more.
It was mentioned in a dev. Q&A, possibly from last year, that they were looking at technology to improve the density of tree placement for a given “grid”. At the moment it would be too low to make convincing woods or forests, so the trick is to make them larger, and therefore, and perhaps more importantly wider, so the illusion is preserved.
I’ve just been going over some of the older Q&A videos on YouTube, using the transcript feature to quickly scan for mentions of “trees”. The only things I’ve found so far is the latitude bug, which made them clip much sooner than they should, and since fixed, and some mention of trees being drawn at up to LOD14 now. But not the chat about tree density yet.

I really begin to doubt Asobo’s quality control system.
What kind of slabjab job was this update? Just slap som POI’s, new PG Cities 4 Airports on to the base sim, correct 100 Airfield layouts and that’s it…
As an example of stuff they didn’t do:
I reported trees on the mountain ridges right south of Punta Raisi to Zendesk more or less right after release of MSFS. It was logged and noted. An Italy World Update would be the time to correct incorrect tree placement like this. Any yet… nothing. They are still there…

Took the h145 for a low level run around Rome… had to dodge all the floating bits of scenery… like come get you stuff together….. I’m off to dcs for a while and I’ll try to tame that Apache.

I had thought about that too. Asobo might purposedly create the over big trees just to cover the PG blob. If that is the case, I can’t see any easy solution, and I’m ready to live with those over big trees for a long time.
I think the cities are depicted after a visit by Asterix and Obelix and some magic acorns. The gaules (Asobo) don’t like the roman cities sprawling.

The whole Italy/Malta update feels rushed and lackluster. I was really hyped for Italy. What a deciption it has been overall.

My update size was a little over 600 MB.
I don’t see the 104 POIs. Except for the ones near Mount Vesuvius, nothing else is available to me.
The Sim has become heavier with a lot of judder.
Please advise.
Have you downloaded the World Update from the Marketplace? If not, go there, click on World at the top of the screen, and you should see the Italy update.

Yes, of course, it appeared itself. It got downloaded and installed but it’s not showing in my Content Manager. And I don’t have any option available to install or uninstall it. It’s not in the Content Manager.
Yes. Absolutely. The moment I got notified about it I installed it. But it’s nowhere in the Content Manager and not in the available updates!
If found the video, from January 28th 2021, that discusses tree size, not just height but width. It’s an interesting segment to watch.
No. It doesn’t show that I own it. And it’s not available to download either.
I have always been of the opinion and i may be wrong that the super huge vegetation and humongous trees are there deliberately to hide where the modelling ends. In many parts of Canberra you cant see major highways or major intersections because trees that are not there in real life cover them. I do not know what is going on at Asobo but its worrying to see them do things like publish a publicity shot for WU9 and the photogrammetry just looks rubbish.

Did anyone else check out the Tre Cime and the Riffugio Locatelli?
The Tre Cime are there as new and improved 3D Model. But the Riffugio Locatelli is just the Autogen Building it was before on my setup. Did they forget to include it?
I was shocked when they included Malta as part of Italy. That would have hacked off a few of the locals for a start. Then to do precisely nothing to enhance Malta just seems bizarre and my guess is Asobo are just so keen nowadays to get updates out on time. “Yes guys and girls its ready” when it is actually not.

Now working on xbox, welcome to the jungle! Do you confirm there’s no way to turn off autogen trees in xbox version?
Thanks
