Woha! Great site - totally bookmarked :slight_smile:

There was once a similar site, but it somehow disappeared. Could it be that this is the successor of that site? :slight_smile:

In any case: a great resource! Thanks!

Copenhagen PG has been in the sim since day one, Iā€™m talking about the fact that no new nordic PG additions at allā€¦ no Oslo no Stockholm no Helsinki no nothingā€¦

Copenhagen is covered with PG since day one, in August 2020.

If the MS Store is not offering the download and you were in the ā€œBetaā€; make sure you ā€œLeave Previewā€ from the Xbox Insider Hub app.

And before someone asks if my online textures work correctly, this is the same area of Svalbard Iā€™m looking at a few posts above, just in Bing maps. The satellite imagery is simply bad in many places even with the World Update, and the sim just uses what is there.

Hmm I had no older images of Copenhagen, are you sure ? I checked the outskirts, not the center. There were programmatic as well as photogrammetry downloadsā€¦ But no cities were namedā€¦ and I noticed this WU is quite smallā€¦ Gonna check out Norway tonight ! Keep in mind there is a 20m DEM (6G) on flightsim.to and Iā€™m definitely going to compare that ! The size of that data is about the same as this update, at least the download of itā€¦

very low draw distance and morphing mountains constantly in norway

I suspect server load issues for some of this

Nah, itā€™s not. Itā€™s missing and low-res Bing imagery, as I explained a few posts above.
