Perhaps a mod could remove it? One of those exclusion polygons maybe?
Another sacrifice on the xbox altar? I wish I am wrong.
Sorry, I thought I saw they were making it available with this update. It does cost.
Have to say I am so disappointed with London in the updates FS. It looks like the buildings are melting and large areas have no photogrammetry so just look flat. Some have suggested this is down to the servers being overloaded yesterday but I donāt believe that. Either the scenery is downloaded or it isnāt, it wouldnāt download all distorted like this. Itās literally a post-apocalyptic London on show!
Sorry but youāve taken that at over 2,000 feet, of course you canāt see how bad London looks! Yes FS is marketed at best being seen from about 1500 feet but letās not pretend we havenāt got in a Cessna and flown at under 1000 feet and been amazed by the wonderful detail. Now, that detail has changed and London doesnāt look like itās in lockdown but in meltdown!

I hope they release a hotfix for the ground effect (excessively low landing speed)ā¦ and not have us wait for months similar to the terrain spikes.
Sacrificed in the quest for an equal experience across platforms? I have no issue with that as long as the PC is the platform the XBox version has to match, and not reduce the PC version to something the XBox can cope with.
It may be tin foil hat talk, but Iāve already posted āevidenceā where exactly this has happened from other developers, with console vendors I believe requesting that the PC version be hamstrung so as not to make the PS4, and XBox one versions of a certain game look bad.
When you factor in the UI, and the behaviour of the mouse look features, and negative mouse acceleration clearly geared to a console controller user, it makes you wonder, and worry.

Looks a bit like Beirut after the harbour bomb went offā¦

I note in the release statement it refers to āvisual and logical improvements to 85 more area airports.ā Does this mean in the UK and if so what airports?Thanks
I would imagine these would be the āstarredā airports on the map screen, as well as the tinkered ones, with the other icon whose description evades me for the moment.
Photogrammetry just isnāt there yet, in terms of its effectiveness. In all honesty, the autogen looks far better and at least doesnāt render a post-apocalyptic world. It might not be accurate, but itās neat and tidy - even as a ābest-guessā itāll do for me. Iāll leave photogrammetry off until itās actually useful (and working).

Cambridge looked better than most I have seen, but as ever its best not to fly too low.

Awesome, UK and Ireland updateā¦Dublin STILL CTDsā¦either with default OR payware scenery. Iāve gone through all the tricks beforeā¦nothing works.
Itās all a bit underwhelming - we waited a longish time for the scenery updates and they wouldāve better off putting efforts into fixing the core bugs. London is a right mess and the AI tweaks look crazy - for instance, thereās now a full blown river ,south of Blackheath and the Naval College, flowing down Lee High Road into Lewisham which IRL is a hidden stream. Wasnāt there before. Even the White Cliffs of Dover, when they finally render, are now accompanied by the massive office blocks pretending to be Dover castle. For all the effort in creating POIs why not leave it to the modders who quite frankly seem better at it than Asobo.

Only tried Cambridge my original home town. Disappointing. Seems no difference. If Asobo you say you are enhancing a city then please do so:
- tallest Cambridge building at the Addenbrookes hospital complex is the chimney, can be seen miles away - not there
- Iconic skyline of the largest (RC) church with its steeple been replaced by a Norman church.
- Not a sign of the very iconic old college buildings
- very difficult to see any changes at all
- Shame that the Marshalls regional airport within city limits has had no update
Yes I have downloaded the separate UK update and yes, I know this is a free download but still disappointing.

Cliffs of Mohar in Ireland have been butchered. They were much better looking before. And bing ground textures are lower quality. They were much sharper before the update.

Yep. Iāve noticed these a few places, but canāt seem to remember where. They were definitely there pre-patch though.

Itās disappointing
Not for me it wasnāt. I work there, and other than the giant trees everywhere, it looked very good.
For heavenās sake, thereās only so much Asobo can do. Theyāre not going to pay the same attention and devote the same resources to every city/town. People need to tone down their expectations.
