Ahem, this one looks like low res ground textures in combination with very sparse trees.
What I find interesting is that it will have photogrammetry Tokyo whereas there is no 3D Tokyo in Bing Maps!

Look at the original 4K video, there are some shots it goes well beyond this.
For example at this point in time you can see detailed 3D building far away at the top left corner:
But I agree some other shots seems more or less like v1.8.3.
I can notice better reflections too (no grain) in most shots.
And Tokyo looks very good even now.

Very nice. Did not fly much into Japan and because of this update I might explore the area for the first time 
If this all for free I wonder if there is a need to later buy sceneries! 
Because that looks amazing!
THAT IS AMAZING!!! Oops, ââCaps Lockââ 
Letâs hope photogrammetry actually works.
I find it incredibly amazing that Microsoft is providing these updates are for free. Thank you!

Merci, câest trĂ©s beau. Mais il serait bien mieux de corriger les problĂšmes de CTD qui empĂȘchent de voler âtotalementâ avec FS2020, surtout si le simulateur est dans une autre langue que US. Et au lieu dâattendre des semaines un patch sortir des Hotfix rapidement !!! A 120⏠câest un minimum pour que vos clients soient satisfait avant quâils ne le boudent totalement et reviennent sur la concurrence
Thank you, itâs very beautiful. But it would be much better to correct the CTD problems which prevent you from flying âtotallyâ with FS2020, especially if the simulator is in a language other than US. And instead of waiting weeks for a patch to come out of the Hotfix quickly !!! At 120 ⏠it is a minimum so that your customers are satisfied before they totally shun it and come back to the competition

What I want to know is: Will the Japanese get their own forum or will they have to visit this one. Because of their culture, they are very polite people. Hope this forum does not give them a culture-shock. The use on web translators could also result in some very interesting posts.
And when are MS/Asobos going to launch the title in China and Korea? LOL. Love to see the sceneries for that.

LOL Right! I have friends in Taiwan and as much as we do have a couple of landmarks for Taipei the 101 Tower is M.I.A. Certainly a key landmark but probably a victim of âpermission to useâ.
Maybe that is related to their partnership with Tomtom⊠and they are showing off in MSFS first before integrating into Bing.

TomTom doesnât do photogrammetry, they have world-wide street map data (from Tele Atlas) and live traffic info. The road network will be more accurate but I doubt it will do anything for aerial images. TomTom does have land use data and certain landmarks but donât do any real 3D cities. Forest, rivers and roads will be improved.
It would be funny when live traffic jams make it into the game. Check out your commute by virtual plane first.

Totally agree with correcting the problems first. I guess all they know is scenery?
They are a Really Very Largeâą team, made up of (many) sub-teams. From their latest dev update they allude to this. Am sure they are following CI/CD methodology. There is a dedicated scenery / photogrammetry (World?) team. A dedicated SDK team. Likely then, teams for Marketplace, Azure, for aircraft modeling / systems (could be 2 teams for aircraft) Then there are the partners working on Weather, NavdataâŠ! All of this during an unprecedented real world trouble! They have said they are committed to updating and supporting this for years to come. This is a massive project, letâs look forward!

What about all the other missing airports in Japan from this thread?
While what they will deliver seems looks stunning and will be really cool, in a different way this announcement is bad news. The hope was that the World Updates would be how the missing airports would be added, but this World Update is a) covering just a country, not a region of the world, and b) not adding all the missing airports in even that country. It adds a small number of handcrafted airports, but it doesnât add the large number of simpler airports that are missing.

ASOBO already added some airports in last patch 1.8.3, but they donât say anything. For example in Costa Rica add the airport MRQP and MRLC, and in Panama MPTO.

Really? Wow, I didnât know that.
Thanks for the info.
