Thanks to @CD0139 for the update, please check out their Topic below

London Improved - Handcrafted Assets reduced and replaced with Good PG

Nice + Monte Carlo, France :fr: - The PG in this area has been reported by @Baracus250 & @Snowleopard3295 as well as myself to have had PG extended further inland. Further investigation is required.

Las Vegas, NV, U.S.A :us: - I have noticed the PG west of Henderson Executive Airport KHND has been updated. There are now new Houses and what looks like concrete platforms now in the hiilside, where as before it was just Bulldozed Land.

Barcelona, Spain :es: - I’m pretty sure the PG has been extended North East of Sabadell and there is a new High Rise Building near the Harbour. This is one to keep an eye on.

New PG Discovery - MSFS2024!

:new: Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A :us: - NOT yet Rated

This place is fantastic! Set the weather to clear skies and the month of July and fly over the downtown area. There you’ll find crisp clear PG and the trees are stunning! There are purple ones dotted about all over, these are Jacaranda Trees. Their flowers are purple and smell amazing. These trees are also found in Africa, Zimbabwe to be exact and we had one when we were growing up in our garden. Looking at the trees in the downtown area, they are all amazing and many different species. It really stands out and it blew my mind how Micro/Asobo can get things spot on at times. Out of the downtown area the PG trees are a mess and spoil it a bit, but overall this is a really cool place to fly. Rivers have nice detail. Nice quarries too. Its quite a large area to explore.

as @Snowleopard3295 mentioned in an earlier post “it’s nice to be able to zoom in on a place and be able to tell instantly if it’s PG”
