Photogrammetry is unmatched from trees to city’s with no additional lag spikes or stutters by far one of the best photogrammetry available.
POIs I think is the downfall of this update Austrailia has some brilliant and iconic locations that could of been a hitter… like one of them being Australia Zoo. Its unfortunate that some of these POIs are bridges or a national Park thats just trees or a golf course thats just a field

YCBP has missing textures. I have cleared the cache but the problem still occurs.
It’s next one, WU 22 Rest of the World.

So I just did the World Update 21 Australia and this is what I get in my library? Anyone else have this issue.. is this SU5 related perhaps? SU5 is turning into a mystery novel.
Never mind.. it showed up later..
Mine did the same. I just exited the sim, checked all updates outside the sim and then fired it up and bingo, corrected.
Any issues with FlyTampa YSSY and WU21?
And don’t forget the water POIs. Sydney and Darwin harbours and a bay off Darwin being particularly memorable ones.

Anyone else have a pink ship moored at Hobart?
That’s like giving a 1 star review on Amazon because USPS destroyed your package in transit. That’s helping no one. I understand your frustration but maybe keep it out of this poll to not distort it unnecessarily?

I’m really disappointed they didn’t add Dropbears and Bunyips to the fauna and photo challenges. Missed opportunity.

From you message it read like you voted 1 on all of the poll questions. Maybe I assumed wrongly, then I’m sorry.
And just some short points for why we always get the same places: data accessibility, cost, legal stuff, does the government allow it, …
