Hehe - nice one.
I will switch off and resume in the morning.

Pilatus definitely needs some work. Colours donāt match at all with the surrounding area.
The buildings are ok, but the PG looks like a bad GoogleMaps import.

As a native of Frankfurt, the new photogrammetry of the city is a huge disappointment for me. Many of the centrally located districts (Bornheim, Nordend) are completely greenish. Similar to the Washington City Update. And the eastern districts (Seckbach, Enkheim, Fechenheim), which were still covered by photogrammetry before the current update, now only consist of standard buildings. I donāt understand why such an update is being rolled out. A clear downgrade for me.
However, my criticism relates exclusively to Frankfurt. It may be that the rest of the World Update is very good. But Frankfurt looks terrible now.

Sorry to say, but it seems that again the trailer does not even slightly represent what we finally get in the sim. Did they not learn from earlier debacles using different builds for trailers? This is again close to false advertising, Bern does not even look close to what is shown in the trailer and other examples are visible above and will follow I guess. What a bummer (again)ā¦
look at all those colour-mismatching photogrammetry tree blobs. Around LSZB along the river Aare it is especially bad. Check the trailer for comparison.

But do you also see those patches of photogrammetry tree blobs along the river?
ok the game launches in secure mode, for my by visibly spercarrier pro to propose an update which is not completed correctly, I therefore delete the addon folder in the onestore folder, and by restarting I I selected secure mode and the game to start. Only same problem as all the time, I restart the download of āsuppercarrier proā, the download is done, but does not install, I get a message āplease waitā¦ā and nothing happens installs 0KB, so if you tried to update suppercarrier pro then delete it from the āonestoreā folder, restart in normal mode, and of course do not restart the download of suppercarrier pro because otherwise the game will crash again, so you will have to wait an update of the addon

Yes, thatās the same problem as in the Stuttgart area. Many of the forests are predominantly PG and have only few AI trees. Eliminating those PG forests on such a gigantic area would have probably improved performance too considering weāre talking probably millions of polygons. This is a PG area between Leonberg and Kirchheim unter Teck.
Thatās an area of roughly 45 x 30 km. That hits performance (I know: not related to this update, but shows that itās not the first time it happened)
The green coloring of the buildings in Frankfurt seems to be a major problem with the World Update. Germanyās highest mountain, the Zugspitze, and all the mountains in the surrounding area have been bathed in a green-blue color (especially from the west side). The whole region looked MUCH better before the update.
The whole area had far worse mesh before the update. Last time I flew by the Alpspitze it was still round on the top. I didnāt find the colour too bad acutally.
That is correct. The mesh data is much better now. But rocks shouldnāt look like this.
I know the region very well. And the mountains between Murnau and Garmisch all have rocks at their peaks. Itās all just a blue-green mass now. Better mesh data is important and Iām happy about that. But mountains shouldnāt be that color.

Pre world update 18 today, there was generic airport and ai traffic update which was about 800mb
Than there was another update on some airports and poi around 8gb
After this i went to marketplace and got and downloaded wu18 about 11 or so gb
While checking out Berlin with my community folder backed-up I noticed that default BER is basically unusable because it isnāt excluded from the photogrammetry and thereās a bunch of static planes baked into it.
I wouldnāt recommend using default BER anyway, thereās both excellent freeware and payware options, but figured I would mention the problem in case Microsoft wants to fix it.
Also, the TV tower looks awful at night, why didnāt it get a proper POI? Thereās not even a beacon on the top.

Yes! Only tested Salzburg so far but for some reason my pc seemed to be struggling especially when I added FSLTL with a very moderate amount of traffic.
The tree issues around Franconia around Wurzburg and Bad Windsheim seem solved. Thats good. Also the orographics in general seems much better as even ways on hills are even, not sloped.
However, many areas in Germany seem to need a new PG update. Take Nuremberg for example the borders are as in Stockholm very clearly visible. Frankfurt am Main seems to have shrinked in size.
Overall quite good and convincing that FS2024 will be a straight forward purchase. If I go back just six years and remember how many add ons had to be purchased to get what I see now as free updates, itās just breathtaking.
Kind regards.

Iāve flown in a few PG cities and theyāre definitely nowhere near as good as previous World Updates. I Manual Cached a couple so I would get the highest detail what with my not so fast Internet connection and Iām very disappointed to say the least! Think Iāll stick to flying where I know thereās brilliant PG. Like Spain, Italy, Portugal, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K is absolutely brilliant now.

I am getting neon yellow/green trees appearing all over the place - unsure if this is from this world update or from the general sim update today. This screenshot is from the Zurich discovery flight. They are all over the area covered by this update, BUT I am also seeing them in central France. I canāt find any in the UK, or in the Balkan area (both areas I have world updates for). I havenāt looked in the USA yet. On close inspection they donāt look like they have any proper textures on them. I am going to try uninstalling the update and seeing if it fixes it.
The 1 meter terrain mesh is wonderful. So much detail.
