4.8+ Million people in the Phoenix Metro Alone, not including outter suburbs (san tan valley, buckeye, etc)

Bank one ball park has been chase field for A LONG time now.

Phoenix Sky Harbor (focus cities for United, delta, and frontier)
Hubs for Southwest, and American.
International service includes: Westjet, Aircanada, Aeromexico, British Airways, Volaris, Air France, StarLUX (Service starts 2026). American (PHX - LHR), Southwest (SJD, PVR, CUN), and a few others…Updated: China Airlines looking at opening PHX in 2026 per AZCentral article

Southwest Flight per day: 177-220 (varies time of the season)
American: 180-250+ (varies)
Delta: 30-50
Uinited: 25-40 (new concourse being built, planned more UA flights)
Frontier: 25-30
etc

Sky Harbor Pax numbers:
2019 vs 2024 = 13.0% increase (46.3 M → 52.3 M)
est for 2025 = 53.3M
2024->2025 = 1.8% (52.3M → 53.3M)

Phoenix should not be looked over as a city, or airport

Well they were supposed to put it in in FS 2024, not to take it out of FS 2020.

Just flew over downtown Phoenix and while ground textures might be better, the buildings and objects are still generic. The downtown baseball park is still a warehouse.

I am sorry but if you mean chase field for example, for me it’s not generic, it’s clearly photogrammetry.
Give it a try without addons.

Are you in the 2024 Beta? I have no Phoenix add ons.

No I’m in Sim Update 16 beta for MSFS 2020.
I just wanted to confirm that Phoenix is back in MSFS 2020, not 2024. I haven’t tried yet.

Aren’t they using the same data now? FS2020 SU16 Beta, and FS2024 SU3 Beta, I mean. If it works in SU16, I would think it works in SU3 as well. Will check later.

Yes, it is incredible that one of the largest cities in the United States and a major hub for one of the largest Airlines is still not getting the attention it should. Not even from third parties.

As I said earlier, It’s back in the latest SU16 build.
Zurich is fixed too.

Continuing the discussion from Sim Update 16 Beta [1.39.6.0] Release Notes - July 8, 2025:

Also, once 1.39.6.0 is installed, check your content manager for any pending update. I had a small pending one for CU10 or 11, I don’t remember for which one it was.
