ICAO, coordinates, or specific location:

Cuzco and Machu Picchu

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons?

No mods

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

I wanted to report several issues in Peru! I know that big cities are always favored (I’m from Paris, so I understand), but being in love with this country, it pains me to see how one of the 10 new wonders of the world is being treated! Machu Picchu has way too many trees and modern buildings -_- !! It doesn’t look like anything!

I also want to add Cusco, a major historical city in Peru that’s known worldwide! There are too many trees and an incredible lack of houses! It looks like a small countryside town from the ground up :wink:

Topic moved to Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Wishlist because it’s more fitting for the report :slight_smile:

I live in Ecuador and have been to Cusco several times and I have to say that the Andes and western S. America is the forgotten stepchild as far as MSFS scenery is concerned. Even Papua New Guinea looks better. I know Jorge has mentioned in the Q&A vids that it has been difficult to get the data, etc. they need for South America, but it sure would be nice to see some movement on it because so much of it is so beautiful and way fun to explore.

nahh i think it really has to do with bing maps. Large parts of south america, but also asia and afrika are just not as much ‘discovered’ as the rest of the world

Yeah, it would definitely be nice if they put in some effort on that. I get that the map might not be as detailed as in other continents (though that’s debatable). But when I see something like one of the wonders of the world being represented with buildings that have absolutely nothing to do with the INCAS :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I feel like they could put some work into improving the final result. Hopefully, they’ll take this feedback into account :slight_smile:

Seeing what they did with Chichen Itza, I’m sure they’re capable of doing it :heart_eyes:

But, it’s true, there are so many stunning places in South America!

Sadly all of South America is kinda forgotten since 2020, it never got an update. Something was discussed here

:roll_eyes: I really hope they do a World Update for South America for a change! I’ve got nothing against Brazil, but there are so many other amazing places too :innocent:

It would be great if a moderator could pass this along to the dev team , especially if it’s been over many years without an update for this continent. :speech_balloon: .

It’s not that I disagree with you (I don’t!) but the land mass of the Earth is 57,000,000 square miles.

There are so many beautiful places that haven’t been fully realized yet, for various reasons.
Maybe your thread will prompt them to add some of the wondrous sights in Peru.

You’re right, but it’s worth highlighting one desire :wink: We can only choose one option, and in 2020, they didn’t manage to do everything, which is why Peru (and others) ended up with just paid content.

Yes, it’s all a flattened image in the sim.
