I just did a quick trip from SBRJ in Rio. On approach I noticed that the major road bridge is partially underwater and so is the traffic. How did that get past the testers?
Also my flight was in VR and 3 times it had to be aborted due to the fps got so low that it locked up VR. I have very, very rarely had that.
I realise that this may be one one of the most challenging cities on the planet now and I chose poorly for my first experience.
However, that road bridge is going to annoy a lot of people.
Same here. For me, it happened after I “aquired” and then clicked on “Manage in Library”… I think it was. I restarted and didn’t have any issues.

Just activated the WU Brazil and tried to load in SBFI (one of the new handcrafted airports) and the sim immediately freezes. Tried it several times with several other airports everywhere in the world (aircraft: AT-802), so nothing special - insta freeze. Great job.
p.s. disabled the WU, freezes remain. Sim unusable.
FS2020 just updated itself for World Update XIX.
I expected to find the update to download in the Content Manager as usual but I didn’t find anything.
Apart from the four new flags in the splash, I went to see Santos Dumont-SBRJ and it looks like the usual default airport.
Did I miss something?
UPDATE: World Update XIX is in Marketplace not in Content Manager, sorry!
I can’t search for Guyana’s Kaieteur International Airport (SYKA) on the world map. Entering SYKA does not return any results. Anyone else able to search for it?
