I have found out with disappointment that the Nordics upgrade has not included Greenland’s icebergs. Upon checking Bing maps I found that the ice in the water shows only in Bing Maps when you zoom in sufficiently. So I can just about forget sightseeing flights, although the airports have all been modeled.

if you fly with real time/ real weather now (i.e. late March) in Greenland, Svalbard, Prince-George etc there is ice in the fjords and along the coast, even with a fractal boundary:
same position on a warm summer day:
you can’t “create” ice on your own by setting up freezing temperatures.
The polar ice cap is still missing unfortunately - making arctic flights further north useless:

For those who want their beer and the sim cold there is a solution;
two Taburet Add -ons, currently discounted on several outlets:
Ice -floes, -bergs and -sheet, quite convincing visuals.
Objects are solid, i.e. you crash into them, which makes water landings quite challenging…
1-“Arctic Icebergs”:
Coverage:
Comes with an “Ice-Station-Zebra” type POI to land with skis near the pole…
… and a snow runway on Ellesmere Island.
-
“Antarctica Icebergs”:
ring of ice around the continent until appr. 60°SI checked with
- Rothera: works
- Mc Murdo:
NZFX: no problems
NZIR: unusable due to new pressure ridges
NZWD: only one runway cleared by them Caterpillars
overall a great addon for a huge neglected and adventure area, opens up beaucoup opportunities finally in my “Pioneers” blog …
enjoy !

Ooo! Does this effectively fix the missing ice sheets that Asobo forgot existed? I may have found my next ‘must have’ if so.
No I meant I created the post, I got confused by the notification, I didn’t realise it happens when someone links a post you created.

Taburet makes icebergs and floating ice but they cannot correct the MSFS error between their visibility of glaciers pushing off the solid ground into the fjords. I have found out that Bing Maps satellite shows the glacier in Icefjord (Ilulissat Greenland) but MSFS does not have it. And I always thought that ALL scenery was based on Bing, like so:

I think it’s hidden under the water mask.

That may as well be the reason - but - why? It should be on top of it or made a land mass of a 1400 metres height (!!!) For the programmers this could be easy, I guess.
No, so far we have no fix in MSFS2020 but maybe 2024 is better.
