ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
2024 World Update USA II does not include the POIs from MSFS 2020, they’re disabled by default. This removed so many POIs from the world. Enabling the 2020 POIs can cause scenery conflicts but also greatly improves the quality of the POIs.
MSFS 2024 needs to convert and restore the MSFS 2020 POIs in the World Updates.
• When the user choses to enable the USA - Points of Interest MSFS 2020 v. 4.16.0 as part of World Update II: USA the 2020 POIs for natural monuments (mountains) can conflict with the 2024 TIN.
• The 2020 POIs are overly bright at night.
• The man-made POIs generally look worse in 2024 by default. Enabling the 2024 POIs restores these POIs.
ICAO, coordinates, or specific location:
