[Polls] City Update 14: The Netherlands and Belgium

I’m on Xbox X SU5 Beta 1.7.11.0.

Just completed almost an hour flying around Amsterdam City and EHAM in the FlyInside 206B3. Performance was very good with zero stutters. Very impressed with the city and the airport is up there with the best default, handcrafted airports

Flying with 24 hour live weather and traffic, multiplayer on and LiveTrackLog running (remembered to start it for once).

Started in daylight and finished with a few minutes of night flying around the airport. Mainly kept below 500’ and below 100 kts.

Thanks Asobo/ Microsoft for this free update ( i was waiting for this one)
I love this update, finally extended tin / photogrammatry for the Netherlands and Belgium compared to ugly generated houses
I finally recognized my country from above as it should be.
The only point of criticism i have is when flying to runway 27 approaching from Amsterdam and Amstelveen the sim crashes which never happened to me before.
But maybe it has to do with previous photogrammatry maybe it hangs with what is written above about fpsdrops i dunno (yet)

Just as a suggestion to everyone who’s installed the CU - you should as best practice restart the sim after installing any DLC from Marketplace. Many things get init-reset that way and work correctly, that’s the guidance I provide to anyone who buys a new aircraft off MP for example. That guidance applies to both sims, but especially 2020 which is more state-sensitive due to the local installation.

No issues with CU14 and EHRD v2 by RDPresets (no SimPixel newer version) that I noticed.

For MSFS2020 with CU14 installed EHLE is still not fixed and the new layout is still covered in grass and the old layout is still visible, when will this get fixed ?

Greatly appreciate it! :netherlands:

How does an updated airport from a CU work exactly? Did the default Gaya scenery get updated or do I need to now disable that package in the marketplace?

i dont have access to the update. it updated but the old loading screen is still there and no new photogrametry

What did I get with this update because I did the CU and I then got 144gb update to base content too. :thinking:

No jetways at EHAM.

Loading screens don’t change for City Updates, only with World Update. Did you download the CU from market place AND update from content manager?

-eelis-

When loading in or flying around Schiphol/ EHAM, there is this heavy scenery you can see when the sim zooms in when starting a free flight. See the black rectangle, this is the scenery that causes the stutters when looking that way.

It seems that this update is causing an issue in different side of the world:

Blurry Ground Texture at KDEN After City Update 14

thanks for the update, but wow… lots of fps drop tbh

Why are they updating same regions over and over instead there are thousands of other cities, regions and countries?

Cause they cant get new data from new countries. Simple as that.

See report: Ground tiles not loading Southeast of EHAM Netherlands
OP can replicate. Before CU14 I was able to, after CU14 I don’t see that black rectangle. Maybe need to perform additional tests.

I am wondering if CU14 includes updates to Schiphol airport. Schiphol is mentioned in the video and in the notes “The city is home to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, one of the most important airports in Europe” but not sure if they have updated the airport or the surroundings or both ?

If it’s a handcrafted airport I would think one could find it in My Library and see version numbers before/after CU14.

CU14 disabled or enabled, EHAM stays with the same version 2.1.4:
