So far really pleased with the updates for Hawaii. Maui looks great! On to the big island next.
Iâm assuming you went into the Marketplace and downloaded and installed the new WU from there??
Yes, I got this error too. However, i went back one screen, clicked on it again and the download was available.
For me on Xbox the marketplace is unavailable and MSFS says itâs offline (Xbox Live all services working), also had the infamous license error issue immediately after installing the newest update.
Desaster update here again.
Thank you, Microsoft, for this World Update. Papua had been a long-awaited area. Looking forward to exploring it all over again.
It would have been really, really nice, though, to include Tioman Island airport in Pahang, Malaysia, as a Star Airport and landing challenge.
Please do consider and include in the next patch.
Thank you.
Where should I fly from to see the new points of interest, the photogrammetry?
I voted on the ânew photogrammetry and POIsâ question, but it was solely based on the POIâs (which are generally excellent). But itâs hard to tell what areas are âphotogammetryâ, since there arenât any cities listed as new photogammetry areas in the release notes. Are just the POIâs considered photogammetry in this update or are there other areas we should be checking out?
Regards
Last I heard Jorg was struggling to find any appropriate photogrammetry for Oceania. He couldnât even track down any for Hawaii.
Perhaps they just gave up in the end.
POIâs are scattered across various islands in the pacific. Photogrammetry seems to be unknown at this point.
Is there any clarification over how much of Indonesia is included in the update?
Ah right, all good then
Thanks for the reply! It would be nice to know where the photogrammetric cities and areas are located. I need a list.
I can tell you the photogrammetry isnât in Hawaii. The Islands look incredible, except for that. Lots of nice bespoke landmark buildings, but the generic hotels, etc. really detract from the overall effect.
Super-disappointed not to see at least Honolulu and the three larger areas of Maui.
Not be a downer, impressed overall. But Hawaii really needed photogrammetry to complement the beautiful landscape.
If I remember right, this coast street looked a tiny little bit more beautiful in Crysis
OK, this was a bit unfair, Crysis is a ego-shooter, released in 2007 and remastered in 2020.
So not only is there the massive hole in the mountain in Bora Bora but half of the Islands water mask has baked in chop that looks terrible.
All of that existed before the update - which brings up the question of why the updates donât include fixes to this type of stuff as well. When the water masks are only wave imagery they should be removed. The water in Pearl Harbor looks like a solid object. The bora bora hole issue needs fixing for sure. It ruins the experience.
Hi, itâs actually part of the world update, itself. After youâve downloaded the world update, you can either click on the Content Manager link in the Marketplace listing:
or just search for it in Content Manager. Then, hover your cursor over the listing for the world update and click on the blue bar on the right-hand side:
Youâll notice that the list icon at the top of the page goes from this:
to this:
The world update is a bundle. You can install (or uninstall) as much as you would like. If you scroll down, you can install it here:
Or install whatever you want!
Is there any advantage on keeping Soflyâs Easter Island SCIP scenery now that Microsoft/Asobo have released an equivalent with World Update XIII?
