Along with SkyVector, ChartFox, and Google Maps, your map is one of the basic utilities I fire up for every flight. Happy to be able to contribute some small part.
In Bora Bora, there are two Intercontinentals in MSFS. The southern one is on your map but the eastern one isnāt. Itās located just south of the Meridian as shown on this screengrab of Google Maps.
World Update # 16 Caribbean has been added to the map.
@SCLINC Also added the missing Intercontinental hotel in Bora Bora.
In MSFS, in Fiji, near the other two POI that are listed, there is something labeled Kingsford Smith Grandstand. That name shows up in the WUXIII list as well, however I canāt find any real world references to that place. On Google Maps it shows up as Albert Park Pavilion. Even in Bing maps it shows up as Albert Park Grandstand. Not sure how you want to handle that since I think Asobo has made a mistake there, but it is a custom POI that should be included.
In the Solomon Islands, the icon for Sanbis resort is in the wrong location on your map. The correct location is towards the NW corner of Mbambanga Island as shown below
In New Zealand just north east of the Rotorua Regional Airport, there is a POI for Hellās Gate Geothermal Reserve (-38.064779775527526, 176.36082294858855). I flew over it but couldnāt be quite sure if there was any custom scenery but what is there is pretty impressive so might be worth including.
Also in New Zealand, near Egmont National Park, you have a POI listed for Motukawa Power Station which is not in the sim but in the sim there is a nearby POI at New Plymouth Power Station located at 39°03ā21"S 174°01ā51"E that is not on your map.
It isnāt listed on Google or Bing maps because it was decommissioned I suppose but there is a Wikipedia page for it.
In Wellington, NZ you have a POI named Rugby League Park which is listed as a POI in the WU 12 announcement but isnāt actually modeled or labeled in the sim.
You have separate POIs for Wellington Station and Sky Stadium which show up in the sim as a single POI unhelpfully named Wellington Regional Stadium & Railway Station. This is just FYI, since both buildings are modeled and I prefer your labeling to the in sim labeling.
Dubai has a number of custom POIs that arenāt listed and Abu Dhabi has one too.
BTW, there is apparently a 3 consecutive post limit that I have reached which is why I keep editing this post.
Iāve discovered and enjoyed your map. Will you be doing more updates?
Thanks.
Hi and Iām glad you are enjoying the map! Today I added the last two city updates to the map. You all can nudge me if I donāt update in a reasonable amount of time
Thank you very much for all the work you put into this. I use your maps all the time when planning interesting flights for our flightsim group.
Thanks very kindly for the update.
In Bordeaux, France, there is a bridge straight south of the stadium that youāve listed that shows up as a POI in sim and is definitely bespoke. It is called Pont Jacques Chaban Delmas (see pic)
It is indeed bespoke. Added to map. Thanks!
WU#4 La Vieille Lighthouse (La Cavelle?) in France
at 48°02ā26"N 4°45ā23"W
is on the map but does not exist in the sim
La Caravelle (a.k.a āLa Cavelle Lighthouseā in the WU IV release notes) is located on the island of Martinique & displays on my PC:
There is no mention of La Vieille Lighthouse in the WU IV release notes.
- Frankfurt has about 40 custom buildings and bridges (I didnāt bother counting but itās a lot), most of which arenāt on the map.
- In Mannheim, Wasserturm Mannheim is a custom piece of scenery, but not on the map (see screenshot below).
- Drachenfels Castle at 49°07ā20"N 7°49ā41"E is listed on your map but there is no scenery there at all. I think the one they listed is in S Bonn.
Hi folks. I updated the map to include World Update 17 and the recent City Updates too. I will now start to fix some of the map erratas that you guys point out which I am grateful!
Also wanted to highlight that this map has now surpassed 2 million views! Wow, incredible! Thatās ~1,400 page views each day or ~1 per minute. I didnāt think back then it would be viewed so many times.
Happy flying!
Invaluable service to the community you provide, thanks!
Great job on this. Itās so useful. Iāll be annoying & point out a couple of things that could be changed though.
Leeds, Bradford, Worthing (slightly to the west of Brighton) & Newport (next to Cardiff) are missing tags from the newest WU. Iād also remove Sunderland as they kind of lied about adding that as no part of the new TIN covers any part of Sunderland.
Great, so I added Leeds, Bradford, Worthing and Newport to photogrammetry layer and removed Sunderland. Thanks!
Thank you so much for continuing to keep this updated! Four years later this continues to be an invaluable resource for me and I am baffled at how MS/Asobo havenāt created something similar, because when a new update comes out with POIs the first thing I wonder is, OK exactly where are they?!? How can I plan a flight if I donāt know where the new POIs are ahead of time?
