Request LTFM Istanbul New Airport

Yeah, I understand their reasons of course. Doesn’t change the fact that lots of stuff is missing from FS because Bing Maps is so out of date :wink:

There’s also quite a few large airports that have been intentionally pixelated for some reason in Bing Maps and thus appear as empty fields in FS, even though they’re fully visible in high quality in google maps. Of course it would be embarrassing to buy google’s data, but in my opinion it’s just as embarrassing to have simmers/players find out about the shortcomings of Microsofts map data through the exclusion of some major airports in their Flight Simulator…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to buy the new FS as soon as I have enough money for it; I will still enjoy it without these airports and I do realize that fixing problems like this one is understandibly not a very high priority while many people still have issues starting or even downloading it. I’m patient and I’m happy to look forward to the first few world updates.
