The ugliest of MFS is in France

I discovered this morning while flying over the coast, from Marseille towards Nice the place which I think, the ugliest of all MFS
I don’t understand why in bing all the coast from Hyères to Toulon is blurred, while on google map, it is not, just the military naval is blurred.
I was surprised that the airport of Hyères (LFTH) is blurred in google and bing, and that it does not even exist in MFS, there is a replacement field.

Hum, I went on Bing map website to check it out and it seem’s that even there the data is missing all over this place.

Did you open a zendesk ticket ?

no, it’s not really an MFS bug, but rather a bing bug.

Sure, but Asobo can forward the ticket to the Bing team they are working with, and this way they’ll know this issue :wink:

this is not wrong :slight_smile:

especially since google even has the luxury of having 3d :slight_smile:
you can almost see the guys drinking their pastis in front of the pool :stuck_out_tongue:

I will invent a magic cable to connect the sim to the Google sources, LOL.

I’ve recently checked around the globe in Bing Maps, although most of the data prompted as 2021 at the bottom right corner, when you zoom in, you see it’s as out dated as five to ten years back.

Google has PG even in the villages in some parts of the world… It’s insane.

sure :rofl:

I dont think that there is something that can be done here by Asobo

You think that’s bad - Seychelles is an utter travesty. There are no airports, and where the biggest airport should be there is just terrible Bing imagery with baked-in clouds.

Oh, and no watermasks - of course. This is the Seychelles, for godsakes! In the Indian Ocean!

It really is an extremely poor show.

Default Mauritius is no different than that, believe me.

Unless you possess FSDG’s Mauritius, go and check how poor it is in there as well.

MSFS has a lot of FSX-textures infested islands all across the globe.

Yeah Seychelles are really bad in MSFS and the sad thing is that I don’t really have hope for these beautiful islands and reefs to be improved any time soon.
It’s really a shame. Especially because the newest aerial footage has way fewer clouds than previous aerialbut it doesn’t seem to be implemented in the sim yet.
Well let’s hope there’ll be at least an addon some time in the future to let these Island shine in the sim.

I literally cannot agree with you more - and I share your doubts that these things will ever be fixed. Most of SE Asia is still an absolute state (sans watermasks, too) - and let’s not even mention China.

I found some freeware scenery and terrain for the area, haven’t tried it yet.. but it may cover some of the problem spots,

it combines ok with this payware, which is LFTH Toulon-Hyères Airport (unavailable in WU4 !)

LOL :grinning: :smile: Nice :+1:

and the bred and baguette !!
I’m not even talking about wine, it’s forbidden for pilots, drink or fly, you have to choose, I chose :stuck_out_tongue:

In the other hand, I flew in VR over Marseille where I’m native from, and it was spectacular. I was able to retrieve, from memory, my first school I left at 3yo and following ones, all building I lived, favorite beach, etc. Weirdly this town is all photogametry and very FPS friendly, like Rio de Janeiro is too. I guess it’s the amount of 3D hand made structures which eat all resource for London, Paris, etc.

yes Marseille is smooth for me, 60 FPS in ultra full HD, while paris or other I’m more like 39 and jerks. I did a flight with the coyotes helicopter recently :slight_smile: https://youtu.be/aG27UCYeNd4
