Discussion: World Update III: United Kingdom

I just had a fly around Birmingham and it’s kinda laughable. The city centre is kinda accurate, but looks as if a bomb has gone off in it. The buildings are a total mess compared to the detail in New York or Leipzig, for example. Rough polygons everywhere, and the LODs (I guess) must be messed up because the buildings keep morphing. Also, most of the bloody city doesn’t have photogrammetry! Did you forget this is the second biggest city in the UK?

You haven’t even got the University or the QE Hospital right, you’ve just put some generic buildings there! The University is particularly terrible, it looks absolutely nothing like it does in real life. Not even close. It’s not even the same colour, the tower isn’t even badly modeled, as it’s literally not there!

Most of the city is still the same generic buildings as before! Not to mention that in areas you’ve made it look as if the canals have flooded. This is a real disappointment, FlyingHeston’s scenery mods are way better than this, and I was really hoping to enjoy flying around Brum tonight.

And it seems no Bamburgh castle, poor Uhtred.

I just landed in Atlanta (KATL). I used runway 28. I noticed a lot of “tree painting” happening before landing. I have never flown into there before. Notice the hill on the left-hand side of the runway?

There were also several wind graphics painting triangles that appeared during landing to the side of the runway and on the runway. The google maps picture of that runway has a road that goes under the runway.

Seems to be working now. May have just been because I didn’t restart the sim after installing the UK update from Marketplace.

As of the new patch today, all my cloud and texture issues are gone :slight_smile: Finally!

Cycle 2103.

switched to sa VPN and it went from < 1 mbps to 100

I gave NordVPN a go, went from 1mbps to 250mbps.

Actually I’ve moved on from that file, several times I think. But I’m now down to a little over 2Mb/sec on the download, which is about 1% of what I was getting when I started.

Nice update so far. First time I’ve tried photogrammetry, but it’s a bit “melty” for my tastes. Several of the buildings in London appear to have dome roofs even though they are high rise blocks. The whole feel is wrong, kinda like an apocalyptic scene. Going to leave that feature off I think :joy:

Happy otherwise, thank you Asobo / Microsoft

10 degrees bug is still there.

Just turned off TCP/IPv6 and gone from 1 to 30Mbs without rebooting

does a32nx still work?

I don’t bother with London. I even can’t stand the place in real life.

@Kankkis1065, do you have a bravo TQS?

Tell you what, this update is taking ages to download. It must be about a quarter the speed my internet can download at. Sometimes it slows down to dial-up speeds.

But still, thankyou, Asobo, for finally getting this thing out.

Haha, I wouldn’t ordinarily but you have to try these things out at least once
