shouldn’t have to buy an addon to fix a basic issue like this.

Hi folks,

Thanks again for all your reports of airport/helipad issues in this thread. We have recently updated several airports to fix issues based on your feedback. You may notice the following changes live in the sim now (no update or download required, but you may need to restart your sim and/or reset your scenery cache if any of the below do not appear resolved for you).

BGGH - Fixed terrain deformation on runway & parking area
CYHH - Fixed wrong runway material creating spike on runway
EHEH - Fixed invasive vegetation on the airport
KBIL - Fixed missing terminal
KBVY - Fixed terrain deformation on taxiway
KEDW - Fixed missing runways
KJXN - Fixed airport layout to match reality
KOCW - Fixed runway layout
KRSV - Fixed wrong holdshort position
LEBL - Fixed erratic painted lines on parking area
LEMZ - Fixed wrong runway layout
OETR - Fixed wrong airport layout to match reality
UTAT - Fixed wrong airport layout to match reality
ZWSC - Fixed missing airport

Thanks,
MSFS Team

Who is doing these fixes? Is there a pattern as to what we should expect with future “official” fixes (in terms of extent, region, and/or timeline)?

The reason I ask is that if/when the World Hub returns, I don’t want to have the (free) work we’ve done at an airport suddenly overwritten and negated by someone (or an automated process) with a more direct mandate. Especially if it does not improve accuracy (see the SMF debacle).

Thank you so much for the update - please keep these coming!

So far I noticed the following:

BGGH - the airport layout still represents the former state prior to the runway and apron expansion.

LEBL - markings are removed, but issues such as missing and misaligned parking spots, as well as buildings on taxiways remain.

I noticed that other airports received upgraded ground markings as well, this is highly appreciated and adds to the immersion!

I’d like to suggest upgrading the experience even further by adding apron light poles - these should be easily identifiable on satellite imagery as they usually cast shadows onto the aprons.
