- Reggio di Calabria (done)
- Rimini (done)
- Trieste(done)
- Udine (done)
Any volunteers to take screenshots for the AirRhodessa site?
I’m handling Rimini and Udine tonight.
I’ll do Messina & Reggio di Calabria as they look like they cover quite a big area. I’ll try get some PG coverage maps done first though, as places like Pisa, & Bolzano are pretty small!
Just finished all the PG Coverage Maps, just need to consolidate them all onto one map. I really want to thank MS/Asobo for making it incredibly hard for me to tell where the PG starts and ends in certain places 
They have blended it in so so well!
This has to be one of the smallest PG coverage in a City Update so far! I’m not complaining, just stating facts. Take L.A for example, you could fit all of CU16’s PG into the L.A area
So you’re saying Italy is smaller than America? OK, noted!!
Hang on wait a sec, if I add all the PG Cities prior to CU16, that’s Rome, Naples and many many more then the Map I’m about to upload in a min will still be smaller than L.A
So yes I’m sticking to what you, nope I said, Italy is smaller then America, but then America isn’t really as big as everyone thinks… flat earth etc, they just drew it really big on the world map and now everyone believes it’s massive In reality Greenland is bigger then the USA, that’s why they want to buy it
PG Coverage Maps
I’ll get the screenshots added to the Website soon, I just need to add all these PG Cities to the Lists first, then to the Explorer Map. Rating all these will be done in due course 
Website has now been updated with CU16 and screenshots by @johnwhite92 have now been added
Hey everyone, this is what I’m going to rate all the PG Cities from CU 16 Italy at…
Bolzano 9/10
Cagliari 8/10
Genoa 9/10
Messina 8/10
Pisa 9/10
Reggio di Calabria 8/10
Rimini 10/10
Trieste 10/10
Udine 10/10
The only three that deserve a 10/10 are because their PG is very sharp, colours are fantastic and they are interesting areas to fly in and the non PG blends in really well.
The rest are rated lower due to the PG being cut off in important areas and the overall quality and colour of the PG.
I really wanted to rate Genoa higher but I just feel it does not deserve it - take the port/harbour for example, other places have much higher detail, better colours etc.
If anyone disagrees with any of these ratings, please feel free to let me know and your reasons why
Edit, I won’t update the website just yet… well until I get some feedback!
I agree. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed by this CU 16… it’s good, but not exceptional… and I didn’t see any monuments or locations that had been hand-retouched to make them look truly stunning…
Maybe we just get more demanding over time…
Messina and Reggio Calabria without Torre Faro pylon and Santa Trada pylon it’s a big fat mistery.

Yes I seen that post. I for one was very disappointed with this CU. Hopefully the next WU will be better.
