World Update IX: Italy and Malta

That’s a shame, I was hoping for Genoa. The autogen somehow doesn’t work that well there, probably because to the hilly topography. Would have been nice.

There was a review on YouTube from one of the irl airline pilots for the Ju52 floatplain about 7-10 months ago. And he started there ( obviously landed to set up the video) but looked like all was there but the markers. Deffinatly remember seeing an Icon A5 of the key side. And could not find any aftermarket for it.

someone’s got an addon on fs.to - but all it is, is just the buoys - and they didn’t look accurate to IRL, so I didn’t bother… and the google PG rip that someone did looked messy.

it really needs good PG scenery around the area as well ( plus the marinas and static boats ) - the approach when landing to the north is cool… coming in under the mountain and circling over the town :wink: I remember taking the funicular and shooting photos down on the planes making the 180 to land.

what time is the update?

Normally 16:00 UTC

Today is the release date!

World Update IX: Italy & Malta is planned to release on May 17th at 1300Z,

I live in Como so I’m also very interested to see if the Aeroclub on the lake gets modelled. The scenery up in the north is generally already quite beautiful though. Pity I won’t have time to play with it over the next couple of evenings but at some point I’ll try to get a photo of one of their floatplanes flying by and then see if I can recreate it myself with the drone.

It’s kinda interesting to me that there has been little conversation about this WU compared to past ones. I mean almost no hype or constant questions and updates from Asobo about it as far as times, etc. Not complaining, it just seems odd.

I wonder if it’s because people are less interested in this one or if it’s because the process has become a bit more reliable and normal so it’s kinda..oh well, here comes another update??

Either way, I’m looking forward to it as I always do, with less anxiety than used to be, so maybe that’s most people, and I feel pretty sure that there should be no major conflicts other than some minor terrain issues perhaps since Asobo’s not updating any of my 3rd party Italian airports (LIRF, LIML, LIRQ, LIEO, & LICR).

Interested to see what they do with Venice. As I’ve had my eye on buying LIPZ for a while.

Helps that it is my favourite city on Earth to visit too.

I guess at this time there’s quite a bit of frustration (especially on xbox side) for what’s happened with su9

I’m especially happy with this world update since I’m italian and I love to see it but i guess lot of talk is still focused on the issues

Quite remarkable! The release time was communicated for most of the World Updates at least the day before. This time there is complete “radio silence”…

Maybe it will work as it works in spain and Portugal.

There a clearly for me less issues in these countries than France which is still unflyable

I am on Xbox X
