Amazing screenshots! Thanks for that. Going to do that flight first thing in the morning. That whole area is stunning in MSFS2024!
I remember your Topic Pacific Northwest Ring of Fire which was one of them that caught my eye, mainly because of the stunning screenshots and photo’s to compare, including all your flight plans in LNM for the flights you did.
Just went back to it to remind myself of just what a beautiful part of the world you live in!
I’m fairly certain that Las Vegas has had parts updated again. So to stop myself from thinking I’m loosing my mind I’m taking screenshots from now on. That way I’ll be able to prove I’m not going crazy if it changes.
Will check on MSFS2020 tomorrow as it’s late here. I do have an old Manual Cache of the entire area so that can’t have changed unlike MSFS2024 which Micro/Asobo have said when places get updated they will be streamed automatically but we won’t be told about them.
Edit - I have to say though that Las Vegas is looking better and better everytime I fly there 
I’ve just checked Las Vegas in MSFS2020 and I’m not going crazy 
These are just two side by side comparisons.
The rest of MSFS2020 screenshots…
So in conclusion Micro/Asobo need to hire someone to let us users know when PG Places have been updated. It doesn’t take 2mins to write up a quick Official Update Note and share it on the Forum.
I’m available for said position if Micro/Asobo would like to get in touch
I mean your pretty much doing it without pay atm 
The Easter Holidays are nearly upon us, so with that in mind, I’m going to upload an updated PG List shortly. @Baracus250 's Master list has already been updated. And an updated PDF version of the PG list will be updated later on today.
Happy holidays everyone

A huge thank you
A massive thank you also goes to Microsoft & Asobo for creating this “Truly Amazing Flight Simulator” because without them this Topic/Thread wouldn’t Exist!If you want to include any notes on any of the Cities or suggest any changes in the “List” please let me know and I’ll only be too happy to add and or edit it.
Thank you for doing Christchurch, Nz wasn’t sure myself if it was just Xbox or what you said about bad blend and average pg hence even questioning if it was in the first place
The other PG cities in New Zealand are Tauranga, Nelson and Hamilton that aren’t on the PG list yet, so I’ll review them again in MSFS2024 and rate them, then add them to the List
Edit - I’ve just checked out all of those places and the PG is pretty poor quality. It looks okay the higher up you fly. But they will be added to the list probably at a rating of 8/15 possibly 9/15
